SCARY PRAGUE

Charles Bridge - Executing Royalty since 1432

Halloween in Prague is a great way to get into some scary stuff:  

With Gothic church towers, ancient castles and dungeons offer a great thrill for ghost hunters.



The famous Charles Bridge, pictured above, said to be haunted by ten lords executed in the middle ages, is within walking distance of this area.   The tower on the bridge served as a deterrent display of the severed heads of the victims to stop Czechs from further resistance against the Habsburgs.

The Church Of Our Lady Before Tyn is another spooky sightseer's dream. There is no way you can miss it - even if you don't visit the building. Its impressive towers can be seen for miles around.

Go at night when it is lit up in the shadow darkness for a dramatic sight that would give vampires the creeps.   

Prices are low, airfare and hotels are at all time lows, check out http://www.kayak.com/.

Check out Jury's Inn and other bargain accomodations are there to be found.

The mysterious Stare Mesto - which literally means Old Town - is a great historical place to explore.

This maze of winding lanes is built on layers thanks to the Vltava River, which constantly flooded during the 13th century.

This forced citizens to raise the city an entire storey to the level at which it lies today, creating an underground labyrinth.

Once dark and damp, these basements have been transformed into an underworld of shops, bars, restaurants and clubs.

This amazing walkway is lined with the statues of saints and is the perfect place to take a snap of the city's castle, which stands high on a hilltop.
