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.
