_______Visitar la región de Bohemia República Checa. Praga desde la región de Bohemia.

Bohemia, Moravia y Silesia son las tres regiones en las que se compone la República Checa, 3 regiones de las que Bohemia es una de las más importantes y donde está la capital del país, Praga. Bohemia es una región que limita con Polonia por el norte, con Moravia y Silesia al este, con Austria al sur y con Alemania al Oeste. Se trata de una región entre montańas, cuya economía, cuando salimos de la capital, de Praga, está sustentada en la agricultura y la minería, así como en la industria del textil.

Estamos ante una región con una increíble historia, una historia que se empezó a escribir con los boios cinco siglos antes de nuestra era. Luego los germanos, los eslavos, los ávaros… todos ellos formaron parte de esta región histórica de la República Checa. Una región que fue cristiana en el Siglo IX cuando formaba parte del Reino de Moravia, y que vio a sus primeros reyes en esta época, precisamente en el momento en el que se inició la construcción del Castillo de Praga.

En esa época, además, esta región pasó a formar parte del sacro imperio romano, y la casa de Luxemburgo dominó estas tierras.

Los Habsburgo en la edad media, reyes católicos, los movimientos protestantes en Bohemia, la muerte de dos enviados de la casa de los Habsburgo, la guerra de los 30 ańos… las restauración de los Habsburgo.. fueron episodios que se fueron sucediendo hasta que la caída de Prusia tras la I Guerra Mundial y del Imperio Austro Húngaro dio la independencia a Checoslovaquia y Bohemia pasó a ser una provincia. Tras la segunda Guerra Mundial se convirtió en región.

Storia

 

Cattedrale di San Vito

Fondata alla fine del IX secolo, Praga divenne ben presto la sede dei Re di Boemia, alcuni dei quali piů tardi regnarono anche come imperatori del Sacro Romano Impero. La cittŕ fiorě durante il XIV secolo sotto il regno di Carlo IV, che ordinň la costruzione della Cittŕ Nuova, del Ponte Carlo (Karlův most), della Cattedrale di San Vito, la piů vecchia cattedrale gotica dell'Europa centrale, attualmente all'interno delle mura del Castello, della piů vecchia sinagoga d'Europa (la Sinagoga Maisel), e dell'Universitŕ di Praga, la piů vecchia universitŕ dell'Europa centrale a nord delle Alpi. A quel tempo Praga era la terza piů grande cittŕ d'Europa. Le quattro cittŕ indipendenti che precedentemente formavano Praga, vennero proclamate come unica cittŕ nel 1784.

Queste quattro cittŕ erano Hradčany (il Castello, a ovest della Moldava), Malá Strana (il quartiere inferiore a sud del Castello), Staré Město (la Cittŕ Vecchia, sulla riva orientale opposta al Castello) e Nové Město (la Cittŕ Nuova, a sud-est).

Centro di Praga

La cittŕ subě un'ulteriore espansione con l'annessione di Josefov (il quartiere ebraico) nel 1850 e Vyšehrad nel 1883, agli inizi del 1922, altre 37 municipalitŕ vennero incorporate, portando la popolazione a 676.000 unitŕ. La maggior parte dei 50.000 ebrei di Praga morirono a causa del genocidio Nazista durante la seconda guerra mondiale.

Praga ha sofferto una grossa inondazione nell'estate del 2002, durante la quale parti della cittŕ sono state evacuate. L'inondazione ha causato molti danni, ma fortunatamente senza distruggere nessuna delle bellezze principali.

There are many sights in Prague. A lot are covered in the section called 'A Perfect Day,' but it would be a shame to try to see too much in one day. One of the greatest pleasures in Prague is to walk almost aimlessly in the Stare Mesto [Old Town] and Josefov and admire the lovely streets.

Walks more like rural ones can be enjoyed in Petrin, Visehrad and Letná, all providing wonderful views of the city.

You can get a 1day or 3day (200Kc) transport pass that covers all bus / metro / tram rides (including to / from the airport) and really is a bargain - public transport here is excellent. Get one from the kiosk at the airport before you go to the bus stop.

The Jewish Museum

Open: Mon.-Sat.: 9.00-16.30 The Old New Synagogue, which bears the dubious distinction of having been chosen by Hitler to be a 'museum to an extinct race' is actually separate from the Jewish Museum itself. It is also one of the oldest in Europe, dating from the 12th century.

There are actually six sites of the Jewish Museum proper which mean a bit of walking between places.. The tiny Old Jewish Cemetery has over 12000 graves dating back to the 15th century and is part of the museum, as is one of the most moving more..

The Wax Museum
Edit This

28. rijna, Mustek, Praha 1. Open daily 10.00-20.00. Here it costs 99 Kc for adults and 49 Kc for children. I say 'Museums' because there are actually two of them within walking distance of each other. Like all Wax Museums, the collections in both are mixtures of very passable copies of famous figures (with an obvious lean to those of this part of the world) and embarrassingly awful ones that you have no hope of recognising.

The exhibition "The City of K. Franz Kafka and Prague", on view in the unique space of Hergetova cihelna on Malá Strana (Lesser Town) bank of the river Vltava, has toured the world successfully. It originated in 1999 in Barcelona - a city favourable to art, in which the sternness of the grey Romanesque churches of the early Middle Ages complements the manifold colours of Joan Miró's statues. The Catalonian centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona presented it as the third exhibition (together with Dublin of James Joyce and Lisbon of Fernando Pessoa( more..

Could be a great museum as they have great stores of Art Deco in store somewhere. Unfortunately, for reasons best known to themselves, there is only a little on show.

Jirska ulice (Prazsky hrad), Praha 1. A clever idea, this one. When the children are whining about having seen too much culture in the castle and surrounding grounds you can bribe them off with a trip here. There is a large and well presented selection of toys from the entire history of the art of keeping children happily occupied. I feel I could learn some lessons from the ancients in this exhibition.

Prague Jewellery Collection

A new, attractive jewellery exhibition may be seen at one of the loveliest spots in the old part of Prague. It is housed in the former Hergetova Cihelna (the Herget Brickyard Building) near Charles Bridge in the Lesser Town. This event has been realised through the collaboration between The Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague and the COPA company.

This unique assemblage of jewellery and goldwork from the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague (UPM) documents the evolvement of this artistic field from the 17th century to the present. Shown here are many more..

U Hrocha
Edit This

Situated on a diminutive back street between the Senate and the British Embassy, it is also one of the frightfully few pubs that Malá Strana residents can call their own. U Hrocha (At the Hippopotamus) is all business: just four wooden tables, precious little on the walls and a chain-smoking “beertender” pouring 24 Kc Pilsner Urquells. A smaller two-table annex situated across the hall is an even less desirable place to sit, and the bare-bones menu featuring utopenci and stinky cheese is strictly meant as beer ballast.

Branicka Pivnice
Edit This

Rough and ready stand-up joint next to a posher pub/restaurant, just a few steps from Wenscelasas Square and Mustek metro, and offering some of the cheapest, nicest beer in the city centre. There are seats, but these seemed to be the preserve of the older generation picking at their utopenec (pickled sausage). Be prepared to stand with everyday Czech workers as they nip in and down pints in record time. Well worth a visit! Both 10-degree and 12-degree Branik are on tap, and both are great beers.

Na Verandach

The Staropramen Brewery has its own attached pub - Na Verandách. This is a spot not to be missed. Not only can you taste a range of excellent and varied Staropramen beers (from yeasty to granat to classic), but you can also enjoy a fine meal either inside the stylish bar or outside 'on the veranda'.

The food is top quality and is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend the garlic baguettes and the chicken breast stuffed with roquefort cheese and ham, served with Greek dipping sauce.
The only failing of this establishment is that some of their staff seem a more..

The dark was a wee bit too sweet, and the light a little gassier than one would expect from a brew-pub. The food was pretty nice, but it was crowded at lunchtime – we were on the upstairs terrace.
