President Bush is in Prague today (and will later head to Germany), selling his plan for radar and missile sites in the two countries. While the EuroCheapo blog tries not to get political, we were interested to note where the President and the first lady visited on their trip through the city.

Of course, President Bush got the tour and lunch option at Prague Castle—obviously one of the most popular destinations for anyone going to the city—but the respective first lady, joined by Czech First Lady Livia Klausova, paid a visit to the Strahov Monastery. The monastery, founded in 1120, is one of the most enjoyable sites in Mala Strana. It boasts orchards and an incredible view of the Prague skyline outside, and baroque flourishes inside. Plus, even if you’re not a First Lady, admission to the monastery is still less than a dollar.
