Prague (pronounced /ˈprɑːɡ/) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on the Vltava River in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. For many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Today, the city proper is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

20100325 Arrival @ Prague

Hopped into the plane and the zzzzz monster started its act... though it was an hour flight, but good enough to catch some good sleep... Had a sandwich before arrival.

This was the first time I left home without changing the local currency... indeed, it's also the first time that I changed my currency via the machine. Well, thank goodness that I kept those unspent foreign currencies! The handful of greenbacks, pounds and euro turned out to be extremely handy here! :D

We waited for the airport shuttle bus for almost an hour... because the agent booked the night before... sigh...

Well, by the time we reached the hotel (Hotel Diplomat) and unpacked... it was already 2 am...
zzzz.... before the first meal in Prague:
