Šárka - Prague on Foot and by Tram
"Frost on the cobblestones, the clang of a red tram bell in the dark at half past four, and a paper cup of svařák warming your hands while a devil in a fur coat asks if you've been good this year."
Meet 24-year-old Šárka Vondrová: born-and-raised Praguer, history graduate, freelance walking-tour guide and Czech tutor with a dry sense of humour and zero patience for tourist traps. For six days in early December she'll show you and two fellow travellers her Prague. You won't need a car: just good shoes, a 72-hour tram pass and a willingness to say "Vystupujete?" to strangers.
From Charles Bridge at dawn to the bone church of Kutná Hora, from Kafka's haunts to her grandmother's kitchen full of Christmas cookies, Šárka teaches the Czech you'll actually use: ordering beer properly, surviving the tram, saying thank you without breaking your tongue on ř. Czechs are reserved with strangers, but once she decides she likes you, she'll take you places the guidebooks don't know about.
