Bohemian Carnevale 2008Prague 31.1 – 5.2
Be what you want to be…
The 2008 Bohemian Carnevale is a festival of fantasy, gastronomy and fun.
A Czech tradition which dates back over 700 years has been revived. Under
the patronage of the mayor of Prague, the capital’s streets will be
transformed into a multicoloured whirl of masks and allegorical floats. The
main theme of this, the second Bohemian Carnevale, is Metamorphosis.
