Our last day in the Czech Republic involved a lot of driving. 在捷克的最後一天,整天都開車到處跑。 In the morning we visited the Vysehrad (Castle on the Heights) on the south end of the city centre. One of our colleagues warned us beforehand to avoid driving in Prague. One of the reasons – we found out as we strolled through the myriad of streets – is that there are generally street signs only at one end of the street, typically the end with smaller street numbers. If the GPS fails or if there are temporary traffic diversions, a driving map wouldn’t be as helpful as it could be. (That’s also the reason why I found Prague rather difficult to navigate on foot at first; I ranked it almost on par with Venice which constantly fools people with its unnamed network of bridges and alleys!) The other reason became clear as we approached the park: we could not find a parking spot near Vysehrad after 15 minutes of searching.
