HOTEL SHUTTLEUnfortunately Prague still has one of the worst taxi drivers in the world when it comes to overcharging.
It’s a standard warning in any Prague guide book. And as showed in the study foreigner tourists are more likely to be rip off then not (about 63% when taking taxi off the street and 21% when booking over phone). We provide airport and taxi service in Prague with honest and reliable English speaking drivers.

TRANSFER
Alfonse Mucha
(1860-1939) was one of the most prolific artists from
the Art Nouveau period. This musuem highlights his life
and work in Bohemia and Paris.
Mucha became the toast of the town in Paris when he
produced his first posters for Sarah Bernhardt, the
legendary actress. His unique style of decorative art
kick-started the Art Nouveau movement. Mucha's much
admired posters for French products like chocolate,
bicycles and beer revolutionized commercial art just
before the turn of the century.
Mucha used live models for most of his work and went to
extremes to pose them perfectly. Scantily clad female
forms were his favorite subject. His use of curved lines
and elaborate border designs set his work apart,
although many tried to copy his style. Mucha also took
on commissions for large projects including some
exquisite stained glass panels in St. Vitus' Cathedral
in Prague Castle.
