Prague

We arrived in Prague on Thursday evening, Sep 29th. We were accommodated by Jarre's friends and we stayed there for two nights. Hence, we had one whole day to go around places in Prague.

Podolí and Vyšehrad

We stayed in the quartier of Podolí to the south from the city centre. As it was not far away, however, we decided to walk to the centre in the morning.

Nové Město

North from Vyšehrad, there is Nové Město, the new town. As we were already hungry when we stopped there and had some lunch and beer in a restaurant.

Josefov

I don't know exactly which are the borders of different quartiers but anyway, we walked from Nové Město via the old town (Staré Město) to Josefov. That was where we believed the university Finnish department to be located. We didn't find the department, however, but had a nice walk watching the art nouveau buildings in the area.

It was still morning when we came to the town of Tabor. It was foggy there and not so warm, either.
