Petr Ryska - Prague unknown

Product detailed description

Take a walk through the unconventional places and corners of the capital. Together with the author, you will see the bygone glory of the Barrandovské Terraces or visit the "Golden Alley" in Střešovičky, where there are no crowds of tourists waiting for you and you do not have to pay an entrance fee.

You will be welcomed by the picturesque New World and the slum colony Na Slatinách. You can relax in the spa resort of Klánovice or Bohnice, which will surprise you with the variety of monuments and the number of mysterious places. You will visit beautiful nature in Hostavice and also see the luxurious Ořechovka or Stará Hostivař.

“Going around the wide edge of the city is not just hiking; it's a bit of an exploration of unknown territories. Many Praguers know, say, the Tatras like the back of their hand; there are far fewer who have explored Vackov or Butovice... A resident of Letná will get to Olšany only at his own funeral, while a resident of Královské Vinohrady will visit Algiers rather than Petrská quarter."
