TAXI PRAHA
Read morePrague, the capital of the Czech Republic, offers a wide range of cab services for visitors. However, it's important to remain vigilant when using these services. Cabs in Prague tend to be relatively expensive, and some drivers may try to rip off tourists, especially in tourist areas and late at night. It is advisable to check fares before getting into a cab and to ask for a receipt at the end of the journey. Cab fares in Prague are set at CZK 28 per kilometer, with a starting fare of CZK 40. Prices may increase throughout the year. For example, a trip from the airport to Wenceslas Square can cost between 570 and 670 CZK, while a 10-minute trip in the city center can cost between 90 and 120 CZK. It's also worth noting that in a 2009 inspection, almost half of the cabs checked did not comply with the regulations. It is therefore advisable to be cautious and choose your Prague cab with care.

GARE PRINCIPALE (HLAVNÍ NÁDRAŽÍ)
Read moreThis is where the main international lines leave from. The building is worth a look: built by Josef Fanta between 1907 and 1909, it is typically Art Nouveau and a pilgrimage is required in the former Salle des pas perdus. Nevertheless, today's travellers use the large alleys of the modern station (not very successful...) built under the historic station which has become too narrow. Don't miss the superb Belle Époque café upstairs.
