You're right, I've been walking through the center few hours ago and it was quite interesting. I must take my friend's camera and try to look around

Of course. I used to live in Paris. And It took me a lot of times to appreciate the beauty of this city. I went to Prague as a tourist twice and I fell in love with this city at the first sight.

That's funny - I was in Paris four or five times and I fell in love with this city at the first sight . What I really hate on Prague is center full of tourist shops with glass and matryoshka dolls. They are everywhere, so the only chance how to get nice atmosphere of historical city is to get up in the early morning when the streets are empty and this shops are closed. And also in the workdays nights. I'm moving tomorrow and I'll be living about 10 minutes from centre, so it's the right time to start learning how to take nice shots like yours

I agree, I was forced to go to Charles bridge in the morning to take good pictures. There are some quiet neighborhood in the old prague, near the ambassies, the senat I think, you know around the garden with the lamentation wall Letenska street. (I don't know if I am clear !) . That's true the old centre is full of tourists and it is artificial, people work for the tourists. But around, it is more interesting. Around the synagogs you have quiet streets and beautiful art nouveau buildings (Vezenska Streets ).

I live again! I moved to Brno. At first I really disliked this city, but after "sightseeing tour" in the tram, the first think i must do is buy a real camera (do you have any tips?). It has a lot amazing views! Not historical, but a lot of wonderful landscapes! I've been walking for hours to see them all

Happy to see you again. A DSLR is a must I think, you control everything and the results are better. I'll go for nikon or canon, don't know the other brands. It costs more but the results are far better. Good walks !
