Chasing my favorite architectural styles and having fun in Prague!

Every year I try to stretch our budget and our annual leave time to a maximum.  In order to do that I try to plan short trips – using weekends or other Banks Holidays to travel. Spending 3 or 4 days in a city will give you enough time to catch a breath and explore. Part time traveling has a different pace than the full time adventure, but it does not mean you need to hurry and have to see absolutely everything in a guide book. You can travel slower and enjoy the moment. You can explore what you want and how you want. You can be in charge of your own adventure.

The Golden Lane in Prague – Mannerism style at its best!

When you are in Prague, you just cannot, and I insist – you cannot miss Golden Lane (Zlota Ulicka) located near Prague Castle. The street is packed with small, and they are small! houses and you can hardly imagine anyone living there. The rooms are tiny and the ceilings are so low that it is difficult for an adult to actually stand straight. But people did live here and even Franz Kafka was staying at number 22 as a guest of his sister Ottla in 1916.  Apparently he used his stay to work on his famous novel – “The castle”.
