    5:29 government offices and hospitals are actually my recommendation for free and very clean toilets here in Germany. If they have a front desk (more common since Covid), just politely ask where the visitor toilets (Besuchertoiletten) are. Otherwise they are usually not hard to find, somewhere on the ground floor near the entrance. Please shit responsibly and don’t leave a mess.

    Very true about the map! My favorite place in Prague was the National Gallery in Veletržni Palace - there was like no one in the museum because it was maybe a 30-45 min walk from the center, but it was the best collection of the National Galleries - and free for people under 25!

    I had about 8 hours to spend during the day after I arrived early at the airport before continuing my travels to elsewhere in CZ.
    I did a route from the station to the museum - wenseclaus square - old town - charles bridge - castle (didn't go in there because there was a line) - some nice park - that hill (metronome) - back to the centre to find a bite to eat and then back to the station to continue my journey .

    2:33 Actualy, Janek, those track numbers ARE important, but just not in everyday ordinary life. Track numbers are used on every station on every rail in this country (yes, metro is a rail of sort) and they are used in rail controlling and usually train announcing, like "train in direction xxx will depart from (platform number three,) track 4 (the bracket part used of course only where platforms are). With metro/subway this announcement would be pointless, so it is not made UNLESS there is something happening.
    Most often I meet it at C line between Pražského povstání and Florenc (two stations where metro can actually switch tracks), because whenever an interruption (usually planned) is in place, they may - besides subtitude X-C buses - leave one of those tracks in operation so people WILL get to main station (Hlavní nádraží) via metro. At that moment the announcements ARE using track numbers in both Czech and English, because there is usually one metro train going back and forth on one track so you announce that "TRAIN ON TRACK TWO IS HEADING TOWARDS FLORENC STATION" and anyone can clearly see the number above them.
    So there is a use for those numbers - it is not in use so often and on some stations definitely more than on the others, but the metro must be prepared for unexpected situation and those numbers are there for exactly those reasons.
    And, yes, track numbers are used in one more cases - when manipulation trains come through, they might refer to "train in direction Letňany is not suited for passenger transport" or "train on track 1 is not suited for passenger transport". Been hearing the first one more in recent years, but occasionaly hearing the latter one, too.

    Would have thought you guys might learn from your recommandation of the city hall Paternoster to Tourists.

    HAHA, I like the suggestion to the City Hall toilets. I am curious whether this little provoking works or not :P

    Janek, in 1989 I visited Prague as a student, staying at a campground in a cabin made out of large wooden barrel. It was in the outskirts or Prague, uphill. I wonder if these barrel-cabins still exist. If so, could you please help me locate this campground? Soon I'll be coming to Prague and want to bring back the old good memories. Thank you

      I guess you mean camp Vlachovka or Na Vlachovce. It is not working for many years unfortunately. There was also a big and famous restaurant which is now demolished and will be replaced by flats.

    I've been living in Prague for 10 years and I swear I've never noticed that the metro signs have track numbers of them 😂 Such a useless information that my brain just filtered it out.
