Personal comments

There are a great deal of things to see in Prague, historical places, museums and parks. It's quite cheap in Czech Republic (for finnish people) so it's possible to travel around the country and also to the neighbor countries. It's also possible to eat in nice restaurants. There's rich cultural life in Prague, theaters, concerts, etc. and the tickets are not too expensive.
