Maximilian Strasse - Munich

If you go in Munich do not miss Maximilian Strasse. It has a special neo-gothic architecture but, more than this, here is the place where you can find the World's most famous designers shops, luxury boutiques and jewellery stores.

So if you are shopping addicted you must visit Gucci, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Cartier, Bvlgari, Dolce & Gabbana, Swarovski, Channel, Chopard, Wempe, Louis Vuitton and the others show-rooms of these great fashion houses.

After shopping you may admire the building of the district governor of Upper-Bavaria, The Museum of Ethnology, the Maximilianeum - home of state Parliament, and maybe you would like to have a room at Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten the most important five-star hotel in Munich.

After visiting this street you can go in Marienplatz to see Munich's city hall. It is a very impressive building and the attraction of the tourists is the Glockenspiel. This is a clock with 43 bells and 32 life-sized figurines which is presenting a medieval history of marriage of Duke of Bavaria, Wilhelm V.

Wenceslas Square - Prague

Wenceslas Square (czech "Václavské náměstí") is the most important street in Prague, the capital city of Czech Republic. Actually if you go in Prague, visiting Wenceslas Square is a must.

This place was a horse market many centuries ago, but was transformed in 1848 in central boulevard of Prague. Many important historical events happened there until now. Anyhow, if you visit Prague I strongly advice you to choose Panorama Hotel. It is not cheap but you will enjoy staying there, for sure.

There are a lot of facilities like a spa center, situated at 24th floor from where you can see all the city, a casino, many restaurants and a great parking area. The personal is very nice and all of them are English speakers but you should be careful: everything here is extra charge. Nothing is included in your staying bill.

You can get a metro for Wenceslas Square and it is a great shopping area right next Panorama Hotel. Once you arrive in Václavské náměstí try to visit National Museum, The Opera House, Koruna galleries, where you can get your own 19th century photos for 300 Czech Crowns, cca. 14 €, or Communism Museum.

There are a lot of fast foods in this area but I recommend you to eat at Pilsenr Urquell Restaurant, there are fair prices and a very good kitchen there. You may pay using Euro but the change will always be in Czech Crowns.

If you speak English on the main street it is very common to be approached by people who wants to change your money in Czech Crowns. Make yourself a favor and don't take them as an option. There are a lot of Exchange Houses on this street where you can have a fair trade and a receipt. More informations about Prague here.
