Prague Marathon 2011

The Prague Marathon 2011 takes place on May 8^th. Our Prague Apartments are generally full, as marathon entrants enjoy the convenience of staying close to the and finish of the course, and the luxury of having somewhere to relax when they come back exhausted.

Did you know that the Volkswagen Prague Marathon has been voted one of the most beautiful marathon courses in the world? If you like discovering the undiscovered, running alongside a river and meandering through the heart of a medieval capital city, then the Volkswagen Prague Marathon is for you. The race starts and finishes on the famous Old Town Square (just a few minutes walk from our King Wenceslas Apartments) and takes you through all the different neighbourhoods of the wonderful city of Prague.

Prague Easter Markets 2011

The Prague Easter markets run daily from 09 April to 01 May 2011 at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, only a short stroll from our King Wenceslas Apartments. Over 100 stalls stock a variety of handcrafted products; wooden toys, Czech crystal and glass-ware, jewellery, metal-ware, candles, embroidered cloth, and beautifully dressed puppets and dolls. The most common sight is brightly coloured, hand-painted Easter eggs, which Czech ladies dressed in traditional costume may even personalise for you, by painting on a name or special message. The Prague Easter markets are not just about shopping though. The tastes and smells are equally enticing, with (possibly) unhealthy, but wonderfully tasty barbecued sausages and ice-cold Pilsner beer on sale. Several stalls also have large hams roasting on spits. Plus there is a variety of traditional Czech sweets to try, like 'Trdelnik', a hot sugary coated pastry. Stages erected at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square host folk groups and dancers, who travel from all over the Czech Republic to perform.
