(In Old Town)
Walk around Prague long enough – okay, not even that long – and you will come across many…well, let’s say interesting sights. And sounds. And smells. The whole gamut of the senses, in fact. It is a great city for walking, strolling, ambling aimlessly, and I guarantee that if you wander down enough of this beautiful city’s streets and avenues and quaint alleyways, what you discover on foot will be not only the usual guidebook stuff but plenty of the strange, the offbeat, the head-scratchingly bizarre and sometimes just plain weird, so much so that you might start to question the mental state of the Czech people in general. At the very least you will come to the conclusion, as we did, that the Czechs have a penchant for the different and a sensibility that is decidedly not mainstream American.
