The city of Prague is home to many wonders, ancient and modern. Some of the newest:
The infamous Ice Bar atop the Hilton Hotel - where the customers all look like Jedi knights once they're wrapped up in the hooded cloaks the bar provides. Though I'm not sure Yoda would approve of the 'Minus 9', the most popular cocktail the bar serves: vodka, cranberry juice and elderberry syprup, served in a beaker made entirely of ice, as is most everything else in this balcony bar overlooking the city.
Fancy hurtling down a mountain at 62km? The Prague Bobsleigh track begins gently enough but the pace picks up very quickly as you ride on your little sled down and down through eight looping curves. There is a handbreak and helmet provided for the more sensible adventurist.
But possibly the most exciting experience Prague offers in 2012 is the MindSports Festival in November/December. On offer will be Scrabble, eSports, Backgammon, Bridge, Risk and a stunning three weeks of poker events.
The Prague Poker Festival will take place 26th November through 16th December at the King's Casino and 5-star Corinthia Hotel. Numerous titles are on offer here including World Poker Tour, PokerStars European Poker Tour and the Grand Series of Poker Live.
The WPT main event will start with day 1A on 3rd December and run through the 9th. They've included 3 starting days for this 3300euro entry event.
The EPT main even will follow starting on 9th December through the 14th - a six day event with an entry fee of 5300euro for which structures will be published later this month.
The GSOP live begins their 1000 + 100 euro main event on 12th December for four days of play ending on the 15th.
The World Sit 'n' Go Masters kicks off the Prague Poker Festival on 27th November with a 2,200euro entry, four day event. Another notable is the Kings High Roller two day event with an entry fee of 20k euro running 7th and 8th December. 888, win365 and PokerTraveller all have events lined up as well (many of which have entry fees around 500euro) to make this festival a fantastic reason to visit Prague and experience as many wonders as you can handle.
