To distinguish a real Czech garnet from a fake one, you should know a few features:
- the real Czech garnet has a deep blood red color.
- on average, the size of a stone does not exceed five millimeters, the maximum is seven. Anything bigger - there is a high probability of a fake. It is clear that garnets can be more than seven millimeters, but jewelry with such stones will cost just a lot of money.

Modern Prague is the city's medieval quarters, picturesque crooked streets, Gothic churches and many legends. According to one of them, looking out the window early one morning, Charles IV, in the presence of foreign guests, began to admire the beauty of Prague. An astrologer stood next to him and slightly tempered the ardor of the king. He said that the stars predicted the upcoming troubles for him: the city would soon be burned out, and the Stare Mesto area would be under water. And then Charles IV had the idea to build another city, but so that it would increase the glory of Prague.

Legend or not, but in 1348, by order of the king behind the Old Place, the construction of a new district began. Subsequently, it will be named Nove Mesto. To attract settlers, the emperor exempted them from taxes for 12 years and ordered them to build a house on any chosen plot. First of all, commoners and artisans were resettled here - potters, blacksmiths, tinsmiths.

Now Nove Mesto is a modern, respectable area, rich in ancient architecture. It is interspersed with five-star hotels in old palaces with modern buildings, narrow streets with wide avenues, old squares with modern monuments. Our tour will start from the central part of the area, from the main train station. It is a major railway junction throughout the country.

This is an ancient fortress with an area of ​​45 hectares with picturesque towers, gardens, a palace complex, historical buildings where museums are located. The main attractions: the Gothic Cathedral of St. Vitus, Wenceslas and Vojtěch, as well as the Zlata street with miniature houses, where, according to legend, alchemists lived.

What is not worth wasting time and money in Prague

1. Experienced travelers do not recommend specifically waiting in the Old Town Square when the clock on the Town Hall begins to strike. Yes, it is an interesting sight: the figures begin to move, the trumpet player is playing. But wasting time waiting for this is definitely not worth it.
2. The same applies to another action - the changing of the guard at Prague Castle. There is nothing special about it.
3. It is quite expensive to visit the Jewish quarter and the cemetery located here. If you are attracted by historical graves, it is better to visit the Vysehrad Fortress, where many famous Czechs are buried.
4. You can save on walks along the Vltava. They are quite short, not cheap, and you can see the river well from the banks.
5. It is not recommended to sit in the park in front of the Main Station: according to reviews, this is not the most criminally calm place in Prague.
6. You should not pay money to enter the Zlata street: in the evening you can walk along it for free. You can also save money on visiting the royal chambers of Prague Castle.
7. Skip the not-so-delicious ham from the skewers at Old Town Square. You will most likely get a large and expensive piece cut off, which you will most likely regret.
8. Do not spend time in shopping centers and passages in Prague. You will not find anything special in them.
