a very fine appartment in the very fine district of smichov right next to the banks of the vltava river. splendid location to get a feeling of lovely golden prague. a lovely hideaway to rest from the touristy center and overwhelming monuments and towers and museums of any kind. a place to make your own cosy oasis while reminiscing the jugendstil architecture and the awesome lights of the city at dawn. follow the river to the kampa museum and have lunch at the restaurant by the mill. choose the bridge you want to walk on to get to the heart of the city. swans galore on the banks of the vltava river. we saw a beaver while eating a goulash at the three graces next to the bridge downtown. we had four golden october days in the golden city of prague, where the colors of fall are a perfect match to the colors of the historic buildings. katka's sanctuary is a lovely place to stay in order to appreciate all the visual impressions you will gather like stones on your way to discover the melancholic charme of prague. like a swarm of swallows at dawn on the right river bank and you're at awe and you're so grateful. as i am grateful to you, katka, for offering such a fine place to rest and to enjoy the atmosphere of a dreaming city, a fairy tale captured in time....
