Prague Gets Admired, Mapped, Punned On.


Wednesday, September 13, 2006

praguemap.jpgYou'd think people might get sick of subjecting Prague to the rampant paronomasia of for which it begs (Czech you later; Czech please, It's A Prague-ative, Prague Rock), but in a recent Telegraph article, Prague becomes the regal "Bohemian Rhapsody" (a pun much used over the years). The article is worth reading for the few finds it offers (like the Hergetova Cihelna restaurant) but don't expect any window into where the locals hang out. They do however provide this useful tip:

The Golden Star [a B&B] (£94) is up under the castle walls. Dating from the 14th century, the building has been given a tasteful modern makeover. Ask for a room ending with numbers 3, 4 or 5 for a superb view over the city.

Prague has also recently been welcomed to the Google Map Mashupiverse with Prague-spot.com's Google map mashup. As any nascent mashup, the map lacks a multitude of markers but, like teeth, they'll grow in soon enough.
