Prague National Theatre


 Europe-Czechia-Prague
This card is showing the National Theatre on the bank of Vltavy river. It had a big fire soon after opening in 1881 and reopened in 1883. A beautiful building .


These stamps show some of the stencils in the Main Post Office in Prague . This card was mailed at the Post office in the Castle . Again very helpful staff and a special handstamp in blue. Interesting all the postcards are handstamped.

The Charles Bridge - Prague


 Europe-Czechia-Prague The famous Charles Bridge in Prague crossing the Vltava river . I had been here before but had very little memory as I had limited time. Lovely view on both sides. 


This is one of the most beautiful  sets of stamps I have ever purchased. So well designed . Part of  a bigger miniature sheet. I must mention the Main Post Office in Prague. I had not been before and I had no idea  it would be so nice inside. Also the Philatelic department was as perfect as one could get.  A person who knew exactly all the details of the large volume of stamps on sale. Some photos  follow.

Prague - Czechia


 Europe-Czechia-Prague It is such a long time since I was here. So great to spend a long weekend. It was fabulous . So  much to see a great buzz and all  in all one of the best cities in Europe to visit . Cant believe I waited so long to really discover this city. 


At the Main Post Office which is amazing , ( more  on that later) , I did find a stamp with Czechia on it. I have now started using the new name instead of Czech Republic . It is shorter . This stamp was issued for a stamp exhibition in Japan and they used this name as is known in that country.
