Changes

Even tho the distance from the hotel to the Prague Castle is not very far, it's a steep accent. It's entirely doable, and takes maybe 10 or 15 minutes, just take your time. Take the shortest route from the hotel thru Mala Strana up the hill to the castle. There is another way up further to the east, but that seems to be alot more crowded. There are now metal detectors at the entries, that's the reason for the delays. Basically go straight up the castle, and then follow thru to the other side on castle hill. The exit on the other side will get you back down into the Embassy Area and Mala Strana. On the way back to the Charles Bridge and your hotel, you'll pass by the house of Franz Kafka.
