If you happened to be in Prague in February, then you are lucky to enjoy two amazing events held during this month. The first one starts on February 18 and lasts for more than a week. This is the glorious Prague Carnival, during which barmen, baristas prepare only Brazilian cocktails. The event starts with a colorful parade of allegorical cars, sexy dancers, jugglers, and drummers. In the noise of the festival, everyone can participate - you can play on portable drums, percussion or anything that only wags into your head, you can come here to even dance and sing. When walking with the crowd through the streets, you will feel some special holiday atmosphere, even if the scope of the carnival is not so great as at the Brazilian Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, but under the good weather, the crowd is organized into a fun holiday that should not be missed. If you do not like such processions, you can come to the party at the final destination - Smichov beach.
