arriving

Welcome to Prague! Whether you‘ve just landed with plane, arrived by train, bus or car, we have very important information about how to get to the city centre using all possible types of transport, without wasting more money than it’s necessary.

↓1. PRAGUE BY PLANE The airport is located on the northwest edge of Prague, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the centre of the metropolis. Your money can be changed in the currency exchange offices or kiosks situated in the airport. Important phone numbers include +420 220 111 888 (General info line - nonstop operation) and +420 220 115 005 (Lost and Found service).

↓ HOW TO GET TO THE CITY CENTER If you‘ve just arrived at the airport, getting to the centre will take about twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic (if you use a taxi or shuttle service you will find necessary information below).

If you choose cheaper but less convenient public transport you have to expect fifty minutes on the road.

↓...BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION The bus is the cheapest way to get to the city centre. The disadvantage may be that you need to buy a bus ticket paid in Czech crowns or with credit card. To get the cash, you can use ATMs in the arrival halls of the airport. Or you can buy the actual ticket directly in a kiosk or at the information counter in both arrival halls (open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.). Furthermore, in the vending machines, located next to the bus stop, or directly from the bus driver (it will cost you a few crowns more). The ticket price is 32 CZK for a transfer ticket, with which you can freely switch among bus, tram and subway for 90 minutes. On the shorter distance and duration of 30 minutes you can use the ticket for 24 CZK (with this ticket, however, it is not allowed to switch among the types of transport). If you have more luggages, you will pay 16 Czech crowns extra.

BUS # 119 This is the most likely choice for most people because the BUS # 119 provides the fastest connec-

2. GETTING TO PRAGUE BY TRAIN International trains stop at the central train station - Prague Main Railway Station. The station is directly connected to the subway station (line C), and is just a few steps away from the city centre, from Wenceslas Square. If you drive here after dark, we recommend you to go to Wenceslas Square subway (do not forget to buy a ticket). Most of the station is renovated and offers a modern look with plenty of stalls, shops and fast-food restaurants.

Florenc is the central bus station.

For over 1000 years, Prague has served as the political, cultural and economic centre of the Czech state. Having been the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors during the gothic and renaissance periods, it also had the status of the Holy Roman Empire capital. Prague’s history commenced in the year 870, although evidence shows the area had been inhabited since the Stone Age. The city flourished during the 14th century, under the reign of King Charles IV, who, among other deeds, ordered the building of the famous Charles Bridge or Saint Vitus Cathedral, the oldest gothic cathedral in central Europe, and Charles University, the oldest university in central Europe. Prague was then the third-largest city in Europe. Now home to some 1.2 million inhabitants, Prague became the capital of the newly set up Czechoslovakia in 1918, with the end of WW I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In 1992, Prague’s historic center became a UNESCO world heritage site, and is currently one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

PRAŠNÁ BRÁNA

PRAGUE 1, NÁMĚSTÍ REPUBLIKY 5

The Powder Gate (Prašná brána) is a late-Gothic structure and one of the most important monuments of medieval Prague. It was here that the Royal Route began and where one of the main roads from Kutná Hora, where silver was mined into the royal treasury, led. The Powder Gate was built in place of the older Gate tower, related to the fortification of the Old Town of Prague from the time of Václav II‘s reign. The older tower was known as the Mountain Gate.The Powder Gate was designed largely as a representative symbol as well as a customs collection point. Its construction began in 1475. From about 1715 it served as a firepowder warehouse, hence the name ‚‘Powder‘‘.

During the Prussia siege of Prague in 1757, the tower was considerably destroyed. Today‘s appearance was not acquired by the tower until 18781886 for a fresh look treatment, led by architect Josef Mocker. The draft was the Old Town Bridge Tower.

STAROMĚSTSKÝ ORLOJ PRAGUE 1, STAROMĚTSKÉ NÁMĚSTÍ

The Old Town Square of the Old Town Orloj (Staroměstský orloj) are medieval astronomical clocks located on the south side of the Old Town Hall tower in Prague.

The first written reference to Orloj dates back to 1410.The clock is made up of several parts - apart froman astronomical and calendar plate, it is fitted with the mechanism of twelve apostles, who appear in two small windows every entire hour (9.00 - 11p.m.). In a parade of apostles, another mannequin on the sides of the clock comes alive in mechanical motion - the reaper ringing, turning the hourglass, indicating to thestanding Turk that his time is up.

He‘s shaking his head away. Vanity and Lakomec behave similarly. The sought-after Orloj is part of the historic centre of Prague,belonging to the UNESCO list of cultural monuments.

NOVÝ SVĚT Hradčany, Nový Svět, Prague 1

14

Many people do not have any idea hat almost in the centre of Prague there is a small town with its own poetry and identity. The Nový Svět area is a kind of a small district in the immediate vicinity of the Prague Castle, full of picturesque corners and harmony. Actually, it was a suburb of the Castle Area (Hradčany) that was founded in the mid-14th century along an old road heading the village of Střešovice. In 1360, it became a part of Hradčany by decision of the emperor Charles IV. It was integrated to the designed city fortification system. The origin of this part of Hradčany is not exactly known, but it was probably a forecourt of the Prague Castle positioned on a gradually filled ravine and the Brusnice stream valley.

The Vrtba Garden is one of the Baroque gardens that complete the beauty of Petřín. It consists of terraces at three height levels that are connected by wide staircases. The garden has an area of 0.31 hectares and the highest point is 212 m above sea level. It is one of the most beautiful gardens of this kind north of the Alps. That‘s why it is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is accessible from Karmelitská Street.The fairy-tale environment enchants with beautiful flower beds, antique sculptures, an aviary, fountains, a vantage point and the studio of Mikoláš Aleš. The Vrtba Garden offers a beautiful view of the Prague Castle and the roofs of the houses of Lesser Town (Malá Strana).

PETŘÍN HILL Petřínský vrch, Prague 1

Petřín is a 327metre high hill in the centre of Prague. It features a distinctive landmark of the city of Prague, in particular when viewed from the right- hand bank of the Vltava River. The hills is built primarily of sandstone rocks. Therefore, sandstone quarries used to be since ancient times. The name of Petřín (Peter´s Hill) is believed to refer to numerous rocks. Nearby the St. Lawrence church, there used to be the execution place. After the completion of the erection of the Hunger Wall, the execution place was moved to the opposite Vítkov hill. The most popular way to get to the Petřín Hill is to take the cable car. This the oldest ground cable way in the country. Its length is 510 m.

CHRISTMAS CUT OUT OF PAPER

P

aper cut-out nativity scenes appeared in the Czech Republic sometime before 1850. Originally, they were black and white printed sheets that were simply coloured with basic colours. The first significant venture in this field was the publication of three colour crib sheets by Mikoláš Aleš in 1902, and two years later he added another sheet. This nativity scene has been published to this day and is always sold out early.

Paper cribs from the Ústí nad Orlicí and Třebíč Regions have a great tradition in the Czech Republic. The building of these cribs in households has continued to this day, with some cribs containing several thousand figures of various ages and from different makers. The figurines in these cribs are mostly based on Czech folk traditions.

Christmas decorations were also made from paper. Originally, they were chromolithographically printed artefacts on thin paper. These are images that, when cut out, were glued onto various ornaments made of cardboard, cotton wool, papier-mâché, etc. They were also various ornaments made of pressed cardboard and again from papier-mâché. We will try to get all this in its original form, or at least make illustrative copies. In this context, we would like to invite exhibitors to use different forms of paper to create

Christmas decorations based on old technologies and designs. However, we also welcome newly created and original paper ornaments and various paper chains.

The main aim of the exhibition Christmas cut out of paper will be to show the unmistakable charm of classic Czech folk Christmas. Therefore, the “paper exhibits” will be supplemented by nativity scenes and other traditional objects made of many other materials.

This time, the organisers will enrich the traditional demonstrations of folk crafts with the creation of handmade paper and the creation of various objects from papier-mâché. However, traditional meetings of woodcarvers, lace makers and other crafts are also planned. Among the exhibitors and demonstrators there will again be several deserving carriers of the folk craft tradition.

This year‘s exhibition will also feature the popular podium, where various groups and individuals will once again have the opportunity to sing carols and Christmas songs and present Christmas games.

Exhibition opening: 26.11. 2022 v 09.00 hod.

The trailer also revealed the return of Forest Whitaker as Gerrera, with the rest of the series shrouded in mystery.

However, if we go by the trailer, Andor looks more narrative and slightly less digital than previous Star Wars series and will also offer a darker concept.

Hopefully the result will be a little more nutritious than the somewhat underused Obi-Wan Kenobi. wreaking new havoc in Salem before dawn on All Hallows Eve.

FEEL LIKE IN HOLLYWOOD!

A

lthough you won’t find any Hollywood movie stars in the Czech streets, many of them were filming here. So you can make a picture of Czech sites that adorn a lot of famous Hollywood movies.

by bad guys in Thun Street in Lesser Town (Malá Strana), Hopkins’ agent went to helim him through Castle stairs (Zámecké schody). Together they went to the Castle Square. They also used the Shooter’s Island (Střelecký ostrov) in the Old Town (the scene with atomic bomb dealer).

We have to Start with the blockbuster Mission: Impossible from 1996 with Tom Cruise in the lead role. It was the first major Hollywood production that visited Prague and the filmmakers had used a number of gorgeous Prague scenes. The party at the embassy was filmed at the National Museum, the escape from modern glass restaurant (cover photo) on the Old Town Square. In this case, however, keep in mind that the restaurant itself doesn’t exist – it was made just for the purpose of filming the movie.

Even the legendary vampire slayer Blade used the streets of Prague in his second adventure movie. From the entrance next to the pizzeria in the Sokolovská Street, the filmmakers made a vampire blood bank. And for the seat of vampire family Damaskinos they used secluded place of Vaníčkova Street.

After 15 years the production of Mission: Impossible returned to Prague, this with the fourth chapter – Ghost Protocol.

They used the Main Railway Station (the opening scene with killed agent) or the corner house in the street Pštrossova 17, where Ethan Hunt ran from the police.

In 2002 Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock visited Prague together to shoot an action thriller Bad Company. Rock was chased

Prague had a key role in the action movie of Vin Diesel xXx filmed in 2002. Beginning of the movie was shot on the Old Town Square (the producers managed to depopulate it, which was almost an im

In 2004 our country was visited by Wolverine – Hugh Jackman, in those times without his comic book claws, but with his long coat and hat as Van Helsing. The battle in the village with three brides of Dracula (probably the best part of the movie) was filmed at the Kunratice Castle in Prague 4. Then the hero walks the street Na Kampě under the Charles Bridge, where one of the brides offers him a trade. The

magnificent ball of vampires was filmed in the Saint Nicholas Church.

This list of Hollywood hits, which included Prague to its scenes, naturally doesn’t end. Furthermore, there were shot movies like The Bourne Identity (street Kampa, street of Political prisoners, the Senovážná square) or A Knight’s Tale (Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge). Before the walk in our metropolis we recommend to watch all of these mentioned movies. th.

SHOPPING SPREE

S

even out of ten European online customers buy goods in e-shops outside their home country, 57 percent even outside Europe. The reason is mainly better prices, wider offer or cheaper transport. Increasingly, they also make decisions based on how they can return goods if they do not like or fit the size.

Of course, this does not mean that customers give up on domestic production. After all, with that, all the shops could close.

But the foundation is clear - you need to be assertive and be able to offer something unique to your customers that they can‘t buy elsewhere. And we have prepared such tips for you on the following pages. We chose carefully and promise that in each of the presented establishments you can get something that they would not offer anywhere else. We wish you good hunting! ml.

travel tips

6. THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT PRAGUERS IN ADVANCE!

28

1) PRAGUERS ARE ALWAYS IN A BAD MOOD

4. THEY MUST ALWAYS PLAN SOMETHING

When there is someone with a grumpy expression that points out that he would like to kill you, don‘t take it personally. Prague residents are always in a hurry and still seem to be in a bad mood. In short, it works like that here.

But otherwise they are fine!

You will probably feel like lazy, because the Praguers have - it seems - planned perhaps every minute of the day. And this also applies to weekends. It can only be Monday morning and the right Praguer already knows what he will do on the weekend.

2) THEY DON‘T WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT You can also recognize true Praguers by ignoring the traffic lights. In short, he is looking for every possible space that will be offered to him on the road, and when he sees the opportunity, he immediately crosses the street. Red, green, it doesn‘t matter.

5. THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH CARS Although Prague has one of the best transport links in Europe, if we talk about public transport (train, metro, tram, bus), Prague citizens are still obsessed with driving everywhere. And even though they have to wait in the traffic jams for an hour.

3) THEY DRINK BEER, A LOT OF BEER

6. THEY DON‘T SEEM, BUT THEY HELP

The Czech Republic is well known for its excellent beer, and the Czechs have certainly never concealed themselves by being able to „send a few pieces“ to themselves. But if you with such a Praguer for a beer, don‘t be fooled. “Going out for one beer” is really just a phrase. Every Czech drinks an average of 142 liters of beer per year, while during an average session, the trained Pragueer handles some 8 pieces and is not even out of his breath.

Praguers are vigilant because someone keeps putting them something on the street or wants money from them. And this is really annoying them. Therefore, when you stop them, they immediately go into defense mode and can look very dull. Don‘t let this scare you. As soon as he realizes that you just want some advice, they change completely and almost leads you to the place. They don‘t seem that, but they‘re sweeties!

Head to the charming place near Prague, where a passionate hunter, Franz Ferdinand d‘Este, successor to the Austrian throne, lived. On guided tours you will see representative and guest rooms, a collection of weapons and hunting trophies, and even private rooms of Franz Ferdinand, which were created with the aim to maximize authenticity on the basis of archival materials, inventories of furniture and especially the imperial collection of photographs of photographer R.

ZNOJMO UNDERGROUND Slepičí trh 2, Znojmo Phone: +420 515 221 342 podzemi@znojemskabeseda.cz www.znojemskabeseda.cz/podzemi

Znojmo Underground is one of the largest underground labyrinths in Central Europe, whose origins date back to the 14th century. There are no written records in the city chronicles about the exact date and purpose of their creation. The intricate underground network of tunnels still astonishes with ingeniously built ventilation shafts, flue gas ducts and wells. Since March 2009, the tour was expanded to include the exhibition „Mysterious Underground“, in which you will see an alchemical workshop, characters from urban legends, live rocks, bats, goblins, demonstrations of prison cells or skeletons in coffins.

The Olomouc Astronomical Clock is situated in the northern facade of the Town Hall. It is set into a 14 m high pointed-arched recess. The present-day appearance of the Clock dates back to the 50s of the 20th Century and bears the traces of the former official aesthetic of socialist realism. The mosaic decoration of the Clock is made of various portrayals on the lateral sides of the recess depicting characteristic work for each month of the year. The author of the design, Karel Svolinský, introduced the folklore motif of the Ride of the Kings at the top of the recess. Figures representing the different working classes are depicted in the lower part of the mosaic decoration.

ST. APOLINAR

W

hen you come across this impressive building, you can‘t help feeling that this is what a real magic school would look like. But the Apolinar is doing a more meritorious thing - for decades it has been helping the people from Prague get to the world.

Neo-Gothic Provincial Maternity Hospital at St. Apolinare made of red gray bricks immediately transfers everyone to old England. The building was designed by the leading Czech architect Josef Hlávka, built between 1867 and 1970.

At the time, it was the largest and most modern maternity hospital in Europe.

The building of the modern maternity hospital was created on impulse of Count František Thun-Hohenstein due to very poor hygienic conditions in the existing facilities in Prague. In 1863, the Provincial Committee entrusted the Kingdom of the Czech Builder Josef Hlávek to work out a project to build a new Provincial Maternity Hospital. Finally, he decided for a square plan with an inner rectangular courtyard in the middle, a four-winged core and eleven tracts that

lead to different parts of the hospital and are interconnected by corridors.

The architecturally most interesting part of the building of the Land Maternity Hospital is the Chapel of St. Cross. It is located on the first floor, above the entrance hall. The space of the chapel is formed by a rich star cellar vault, which leads in the central column.

The building under the Church of St. Apolinare is one of the most famous in the republic. It is the original place of alcohol drunk tank. It was the very first drunk tank in the world and became a Czech export article, because it has proven itself good and was established in a similar way to the rest of the world.

arlštejn Castle, a Gothic jewel southwest of Prague, was built in 1348

by Charles IV to preserve the precious crown jewels. At Karlštejn Castle, you can explore not only the Bohemian Crown Jewels and the collection of holy relics, but also experience your own Day at Karlštejn Castle.

Founded in 1348, Karlštejn Castle occupies a unique position among Czech castles. It was built by the Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place to store royal treasures, especially collections of holy relics and imperial crown jewels. In 1355, Charles IV was already staying at the castle, supervising its completion and the decoration of the interiors, especially the Castle chapels.

The present-day appearance of the Castle was shaped by the purist reconstruction in the 19th century led by Josef Mocker. The first sightseeing tour (Imperial Residence of Charles IV) includes the Imperial Palace and the Treasury and the Treasury in the Marian Tower. The second tour (Karlštejn Castle Chapel) takes you to the Great Tower with the famous Chapel of the Holy Cross with panel paintings from the workshop of the master Theodoric. A tour of the Great To-

wer without the Chapel of the Holy Cross is also available. True connoisseurs of history and unforgettable experiences will appreciate the extraordinary tours of the Karlštejn Evening Chapel, Karlštejn Castle as a Closed Fortress or Coffee with the Castellan.

Apart from the architecture, visitors come here today to admire the replica of St. Wenceslas’ Crown. At the beginning of the Hussite wars, the Bohemian Crown Jewels were transported to Karlštejn Castle for security reasons, and they remained there with short breaks for almost 200 years. Karlštejn Castle also served as the subject of Jaroslav Vrchlický’s play Night at Karlštejn, which was the basis for the 1973 musical film of the same name. Since 1918, Karlštejn Castle has been owned by the Czech Republic and is open to the public. www.hrad-karlstejn.cz

Fairytale nature only a few kilometers from the border of the capital - this is the Průhonice Castle Park, in which a number of fairy tales were filmed. One of the largest nature parks in Europe with an area of 240 hectares is located in the rugged valley of the meandering Botič River.

A park is an ideal place for relaxation and romantic walks. Make sure you come to Průhonice Park at the end of May when rhododendrons bloom. You can go to the park at any time of the year and you will always have something to watch.

T

he massive building of the Clam-Gallas Palace in Husova Street in Prague’s Old Town lies at the crossroads of the important medieval link between Prague Castle and the centre of the Old Town, also called the Royal Route, and the ancient road leading to Vyšehrad.

The intersection of Charles and Hus Streets is reached by the southern part of the facade of the Clam-Gallas Palace, one of the most important Baroque palace buildings in Prague. It is a magnificent example of a monumental aristocratic residence situated in a small medieval-type urban development. The palace was built in the High Baroque style on the site of an older building in 1714-18 according to a design by J. B. Fischer of Erlach for Jan Václav Count Gallas. Among others, M. B. Braun and his workshop contributed to the decoration of the building (portals with atlants, statues of ancient gods in the roof part, cherubs inside and vases on the staircase), the painter C. Carlone, stonemason D. A. Rappa and the plasterers R. Bolla, S. Bussi and G. Fiumberti.

In one of the three courtyards there is a fountain with a statue of Triton by M. B. Braun, protected by a Baroque grille.

Both the Gallas and the Clam-Gallas family, the owners of the Palace, were lovers and patrons of the arts; their Palace was thus a famous cultural centre in Prague, where concerts were held – W. A. Mozart (1787) and L. van Beethoven (1796) performed here, theatre was performed here and exhibitions of paintings were held.

In a niche of the Palace‘s enclosure wall on Mariánské Square there is a fountain with an allegorical sculpture of the Vltava River by V. Prachner. The northern wing of the palace was raised by one storey to accommodate the anticipated construction of a theatre hall. However, this certainly interesting plan was eventually abandoned and the resulting under-roof space was then used as a hayloft.

THE HOLY FOUR OF SMÍCHOV

top restaurant

- A PLACE YOU WON‘T WANT TO LEAVE

42

W

hen I visit any new city, I have to face the same challenge - if I want to perfectly enjoy the whole day, I have to intricately search for different places and then find the way how to get there.

But if you take my tip and head to Smíchov, you can forget this complication.

My story will almost start as a joke.

What do an old Czech beer hall, a modern restaurant, a beautiful garden with seating in the courtyard and a stylish bar in the basement have in common?

Despite their differences, they all form a perfect harmonious whole, with all parts complementing each other perfectly.

This quartet of places is located a short walk from the Anděl metro station in Prague‘s Smichov district in the same building. We started our journey with friends in the old Czech beer hall U Bílého Lva to enjoy not only the best Czech tank beer (Staropramen), but also the classic Czech cuisine. This unique place, where the visitor can enjoy the atmosphere of the old Prague, has been here since 1889! Moreover, on Fridays, the space will be enlivened by big beat bands, so the great experiences are guaranteed.

But since the nearby passageway attracts people to visit the White Lion’s little bro-

ther, the Fortel Restaurant, our curiosity made us to move there during the evening. And we couldn‘t believe our eyes.

Although the restaurants are adjacent, the atmosphere at Fortel couldn‘t be more different. The first thing that attracts your attention upon arrival is a pair of massive metal stairs. One is blue, the other red, and each leads to a different part of the restaurant. The unusually cascading space was, as the attendant explained to me, once a cinema, which explains the atypically high ceiling and the giant niche on one of the walls that makes one think of a movie screen. The space is open but has a complex structure. It has several levels, giving each seating position a unique perspective.

And then the details! Someone has really unleashed his/her invetiveness - the bar is adorned with a digital panel reading the name Fortel like in the Tetris game, only to be eaten by a Pac Man. Ceilings are decorated with beer barrels with light bulbs in them. There‘s a Scandinavian seating area with a fireplace in one section, and a more romantic seating area in another.

A friend once told me that it‘s the toilets that say the most about the quality of a place. Here, Fortel scores, too. The walls of the toilets are adorned with seemingly broken tiles, with a cement substrate layer underneath. It‘s perhaps the most original design element I‘ve ever seen.

In between the two restaurants, there is the Smíchovská zahrada, located in the courtyard of the house. A stunning piece of green island in the middle of the urban development, where you can take a break from the closed rooms and enjoy a bit of that romance. Here they prepare meals on a grill, but if you get a craving for something different, you can choose it from the U Bílého Lva menu. Smíchovská zahrada really took my breath away. But you will have to wait to visit this unique piece of green art - during the winter months the garden is closed for obvious reasons.

Since the day is far from being over with a visit to a restaurant, this unique Smíchov space has one more trump card up its sleeve. It is a basement cocktail bar called Back Doors. Here, the atmosphere changes a bit again. Dark interior, long bar, beverages are mixed by experienced bartenders, drinks to taste, a stage dedicated to unique performers. In short, the perfect stylish space to end the day in style, where you can enjoy a unique drink with friends. If anyone gets hungry, he/ she can have tapas brought in from Fortel

Fortel is decorated with a giant illuminated sign on the ceiling that reads „Smíchov always sticks together“. And the same goes for all the aforementioned establishments. Each is different and together they form a unique whole. The are not so many in the world.

A few advices at the end. Be sure to book your seat, the establishments are not inflatable. Fridays at Fortel are enlivened by the live saxophone and DJs. And it‘s worth popping in for the lunch menus too, the menu is varied and the prices very reasonable.

top restaurant

Meanwhile U Bílého Lva focuses on more classic „big“ Czech food, tapas are the name of the game at Fortel, with the cuisine being Czech and Mediterranean with a fusion of Asian. Of course, they also have a more classic menu, but they mainly aim at gathering of several people sharing a variety of goodies together.

And because the gastronomy here is top-notch, every course is worth it.

SINFUL NIGHT LIFE OF

PRAGUE CITY

W nightlife

hy will be deluding ourselves.

Every good capital, whose streets pulsate with life, must have beside restaurants, bars, cafes and shopping centers also (as the novelists say) the houses of love. And even Prague is no exception. But before we go into its streets, let’s make a small historic revision.

46

It is no longer the rule that these places are for desperate individuals. Time progressed. When was the phenomenon of night clubs orprostitution itself actually born? Well, not for anything they say that it’s the oldest profession of the world. It is probable that prostitution has evolved from religious belief and rituals which were held to celebrate the goddess of fertility in the Middle-Age. In the 19th century it was strongly developed and reached all segments of society from politics to high art (for

example Vincent Van Gogh lived for years with a Flemish prostitute).

We know that it’s not easy to find the right company in which you can feel natural and comfortable. Indeed, there are lots of them and if you had to visit them all, it would cost you the whole wealth.

For this reason, we are showing few short “best of ” tips in the following pages. We guarantee that you definitely won’t be bored. The ride full of excitement and beautiful women is awaiting! ml.
