We ended up walking to the theatre which really was not too far\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 maybe a 20 minute fast walk from the apartment. We had great seats (10th row center) for a very good price, and enjoyed a very well done Barber of Seville.<\/p>\n<p>We spent the next couple of days just walking around the town, taking trams and the metro and enjoying the beautiful architecture. The restaurants in our neighborhood were all cute, trendy and reasonably priced. The best find of all was a restaurant called Parlament, closer to the center of town, that served real Czech food.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday night we went to another opera, Rigoletto. This time we were in the third row center and enjoyed it even more.\u00a0 Saturday morning we left for Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>L.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4633\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4633\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/1-DSCN2167.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4633\" src=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/1-DSCN2167.jpg\" alt=\"Mark at the Parlament Restaurant\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/1-DSCN2167.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/1-DSCN2167-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/1-DSCN2167-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark at the Parlament Restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4635\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2-DSCN2171.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4635\" src=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2-DSCN2171.jpg\" alt=\"On the famous bridge over the Charles River\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2-DSCN2171.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2-DSCN2171-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2-DSCN2171-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4635\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hebrew words on crucifix on the famous bridge over the Charles River<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4636\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4636\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/4-DSCN2162.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4636\" src=\"https:\/\/sabbatical3.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/4-DSCN2162.jpg\" alt=\"Old Jewish Cemetary.
