Prague in Sept

ok--Pilsner...

First--look for an apt. My contact Josef has several in a 400 yr old bldg across from teh Romanian embassy #10 Nerudova Street, in Mala Strana, the Lesser Quarter, just below the castle district.. there are lots of other apts but I like his place and it's walking distance from there to St Nicolas Square then to Charles Bridge and cross to town square area.
Prague is mostly a walking city w/trams&surface transport most convenient to connect areas. We hardly ever use it, tho. Never needed metro. Crew hotel has just changed--Boss is there now--he'll stop flying PRG due to AC changes. It will only be airbus rotation. We actually have Hotel Hoffmesiter booked for Sept end.
Second--there are lots of brew pubs all over city. best known
Home they have a pensione there but not recommended to stay there--apt is better value. josef also has a shared bath 2 apt set-up on upper floor (walk-up)
Lime and Tonic website--sign up (I'll send the referral--like groupon) for specail city deals

I can answer a zillion more q's as needed.
Anthony Bourdain, Prague, Travel CHannel--find THAT old brewery he visited outside of center...that's what you want to know about Pilsner...

Josef and Jitka Skokan
www.roomsinprague.com one apt is 2 bedroom, one is a connecting duo

I forgot to tel you to mention you are Delta and I recommended you--might get a better price?

Awesome! Thanks for this. I'm sending my friend the room link now. We are both Delta, so we are good on that end. I've seen the No Reservations episode you are talking about. I'll have to watch it again, though. I'm going to check out the other places you mentioned when I can get on a real computer- hard to see much on the phone.

I'm going to send my wife a link to this thread, too.

We go often--we have faves and a special walk we enjoy, too. It's tram to funicular, to hilltop (w/stop at House Nebozizek halfway) onward to obseravtion tower (lift never works in the 5 yrs we've been going) have a wurst,hit the restrooms, walk on to Strahov Monastery(if you like art museums, there is one on the way) Wander around to the castle distrcit--find the garrison where soldiers comeout and follow them to the chaning of the guard--skip the $$ admission to castle--head straight to St. Vitus cathedral(free) and stand in awe of the most exquisite stained glass work from Alfonse Mucha--wander around the caastle gardens and work you way down the steps to the tram stop---or cross over to Thunovska street or Nerudova and have a few BEERS at a courtyard cafe.
Got lots more info--when are you going?? I think we're arriving 27 sept.

It used to be ATL alternating but I guess they gave it up to airbus NY--this was the last NY rotation on the 767er...So much confusion and blonde moments...
Now it's Airbus so I guess it's NY only--just wrong AC!!
Ck (ha ha) the Czech calendar for events, tho.

Wait, are you saying there will be a direct ATL-PRG flight soon? If that is the case we may just skip MUC altogether. Have to run that by the wife, though.

Oh man, we are just going to miss you. We are planning on heading home on the 21st.

We are thinking MUC on the 14 so the others can see it before the 'fest. See the Landlords Parade, tapping of the 1st keg, & drink in the tents before it gets too packed to think, then leave town as the rest of the crowds are arriving. Everything but the dates is still fluid right now though.
