Add a New Dimension to Prague Travel | Ride a Tank, Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is full of the usual tourist highlight - Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Astronomical Clock (which has now reopened after being closed for renovation). Instead, let me show you a side of Prague that regular visitors are unaware of - or have no time to visit. I might add here that I was surprised and amazed to see and experience this for myself and in doing so, I stopped feeling like a regular tourist and felt, briefly, that I had immersed myself in the real Czech Experience.

Please note that the following experiences are family friendly (yes, I mentioned family - beat that). I am certain that little kids would find a tank ride more fascinating than pushing through the tightly packed crowds on Charles Bridge - there, I said it again.

I wasn’t sure what to find here. I am huge fan of Botanicus products but to actually visit a Botanicus historical craft village in Ostrá was another thing. I was told that it was like a window to the Middle-Ages - and I could learn a trick or two of certain crafts. Who can so NO to learning something new, right? Especially to soap-making! Not me. Plus, I was told, they traded in an entirely different currency.

Arriving at the gates of this village and setting off immediately to explore it was a good idea. But no sooner you enter the gates of this village you get the feeling of having stepped back in time. Once inside, visitors have a unique opportunity to see what a medieval hamlet was like. Tables, benches and the shops (booths) itself were made up of large slabs of wood. Just like in the past. With good reason, smoking inside the craft village is banned! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
