Will you be visiting the Czech Republic? Be sure to walk the Charles Bridge in Prague.



Beethoven visited Prague twice: in 1796 & in 1798. On his 1st visit, he stayed at 285 Lazenska Street.



He preferred not to stay in the center of the city but on the other side of Charles Bridge, in a neighborhood known as the Mala Strana. Today his residence is in No. 11 on Lazenska Street, & it is known as Beethoven Palace.

WOW David, that bridge photo is breath taking!

I was a foregin exchange student to Germany back in the 70's....and the teenagers made me change my style of clothing, "because Americans draw too much attention by their loud clothes." So, in short, times haven't changed...

As for recommendations and advice, I can't add anything, but to say that this thread has been interesting to read.

(Nowadays, I never get to travel, unless it's watching the AMAZING RACE in slow motion...)
