Excerpt from The Story of Prague I have often been told by English friends that Prague is a very distant and 'out-of-the-way' place. I am, I think, entitled to dispute the correctness of this state ment. Dresden, one of the towns most visited by English travellers, is only four hours from Prague. The train leaving Dresden at I reaches Prague at Prague is also not distant from the Bohemian watering-places, Karlsbad, Marienbad and Franzensbad, and the distance would appear yet smaller were it not for the slowness of all Austrian, even express, trains. I may add a word on the hotels of Prague. Of the best of these hotels, three - the Hotel de Saxe, the Blue Star, ' and the Black Horse - are situated close to the State Railway Station and the powder tower, while a fourth, the 'victoria, ' is in. The Jungmann Street. In all these hotels the English traveller will often regret the absence of a reading or public sitting-room. Even when such a room is provided, it is often closed or used for private card parties. In late years I have during my many visits to Prague always stayed at the Hotel de Saxe, and I can conscientiously recommend it. T 0 those who, for the purpose of study or for other reasons, intend making a somewhat lengthy stay at Prague, The Pension Finger (corner of the Vaclavsk??? Namesti and the town park) can be recommended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
