Černínská Street

In Prague, receiving 8 million tourists a year, you can still find gems almost without tourists, like wonderful Černínská Street. - Wikimedia . No cars = happy children! By the way, Praguans love children. Older and younger stop for talking with your child everywhere, giving them cakes and gifts. If you leave an empty stroller on the street it takes less than five minutes for a police patrol to come searching for the parents.  Prague is a very clean city, much cleaner than Oslo. - Wikimedia .

We would have a stinky mess! - Gail Tverberg The tree is to be found at  Karlsplassen , Prague. - Wikimedia .
