Museum night takes place in Prague every year and it attracts a great number of people interested in history and culture. But museum fans are not the only ones this event is intended for. It will also be interesting to people who simply want to make a classic Saturday evening more interesting.....or want to enjoy something a little scary....

We know were you will get goose bumps!

There simply has to be something among the 50 deluxe museums, galleries and other cultural institutions in 77 buildings in Prague, which will be open on this night, to unsettle you a little. The most important thing is to set out when it is completely dark, when all the children are fast asleep....

A night time walk to Vyšehrad past the cemetery, where famous people from our country are laid to rest, could be a good beginning. Visiting the casemates, the underground corridors that were created for rapidly moving armies, and Gorlice Hall, the biggest underground space, also seems pretty promising. What impression do the deluxe statues from Charles Bridge, which are displayed here, give in the underground gloom.

Visiting Chlupáč’s Museum of History with your children during the day is a laugh. But imagine going at midnight when the children are gone, and the enormous skeleton of an ancient dinosaur rattles its bones and starts walking towards you....

Most of us are afraid of dentists even in the daytime. Visit the Museum of Stomatology during the Museum Night event and you can expect a commentated tour every hour around the deluxe inventions in the field of dental medicine and jaws. Did you hear something? Maybe someone behind you was grinding their teeth? We recommend the last tour at midnight!

How to orientate yourself on Museum Night?

In order to facilitate orientation there will be stands set up (in front of the Historic National Museum building and on náměstí Jana Palacha) with a detailed map of the locations where Museum Night is taking place, and mysterious buses marked Museum Night will be travelling through Prague, which will make it easy to travel between the locations and buildings.

You can find all the information you need on the website of the event.

A few steps away, in Paris Street I see him for the first time. It´s really him! The new Mercedes Class A! He beams at me and my heart beats faster. There is no one in the car, the door is open and the keys are just lying inside.

You may have noticed that some things women simply cannot resist, even if sinful! And believe me that the new Mercedes Class A, is definitely one of them.

It is time to enjoy a little adventure ...

"Hey, Mercedes!"

"What do you want to do?", a suspicious voice frightens me as soon as I get into the car. Thanks to the smart network connection you can really communicate with the new Mercedes Class A.   The car understands everything you say: just hit the voice button on the steering wheel or say "Hey, Mercedes" and the vehicle according to instructions locates a specific destination, reads a message or searches for a contact.

I have been searching in vain for the gear lever, but there is none! Time runs on and the owner of the car may come back at any moment. Fortunately, just in time I notice a lever under the steering wheel for switching automatic driving modes. The priceless female intuition! With a smile I put my foot down.

“Hey, Mercedes?”, a lot more experienced I restart the interrupted thread of conversation with the robot which had previously startled me. "Yes, please?", he responds reconciled.

"Go to Karlštejn castle"!

"The greatest adventure you can experience is to live the life of your dreams."

The dream is becoming a reality. I can see how the Paris Street is disappearing in the rear window and the mayhem of the metropolis with it. I set off toward nature where I intend to enjoy my drive uninterrupted.

At first glance my attention is attracted by the transparent display of the vehicle, the look of which may be changed by the pressing of a button on the steering wheel. The displaying of the current speed limit which shows in the shape of a red-and-white marks directly on the display above the steering wheel seems to me, a passionate driver who regularly collects fines for exceeding the speed limit, really handy.

When entering the roundabout, in front of me a car brakes all of a sudden. The Mercedes automatically brakes and I appreciate the great work of the interval-maintaining assistant. Thanks to the latter the car automatically stops if there is another stationary vehicle in front standing on the spot for more than 30 seconds. On the contrary, when the car in front of me stops obstructing, the Mercedes accelerates automatically. That is what I call natural intelligence!

Forget about the hassle.

I unwittingly look at my brand new watch Tudor Clair de Rose. My goodness, is that the time? In this car you lose concept of time, I recall the meeting that I now need to cancel. "Hey, Mercedes, a message for Charlotte!" The car  obediently sends a text message, releasing me from all today's remaining obligations.

This finally won me over completely. Finally freedom! Now is the right time to try out what else this motor can do. On the long tarmac roads, interwoven through the picturesque Czech landscape, I put my foot down on the gas pedal. "I wish you were mine," I say to myself. A smooth operator on business trips and indispensable pal for weekend golfing trips. That is exactly what I needed!

I stop directly at the car park in front of the Karlštejn golf course. With the parking distance control system it´s easy-peasy. Well, it feels a little empty, because everybody else  (apart from me) is at work, but I can imagine how beautifully would one be able to park in the city centre with such reliable cameras.

Just about everything is somehow more enjoyable and easier with this car. Do you want to charge your iphone and you don´t have the cable? No problem! It suffices to lay it on the centre dashboard and it will recharge wirelessly.

I discover the various functions of the dashboard manual and I find that it is possible to even change the car interior lighting. Thanks to intuitive touch control, viewing of the menu is very easy and comfortable for drivers. One doesn´t have to look at where it is necessary to touch, just move your finger over the touchpad.

Drive of your dreams!

The minimalist and clean design is one of the advantages not only of the interior, but also of the bodywork of the luxury car. And what is it that is concealed beneath the gleaming bonnet? The Mercedes Class A has a 4-cylinder petrol or diesel engine, so that you can literally race away with it. However, without accidents (!), according to the lyrics of a famous Czech song.

That´s because this vehicle has safety in the job description. For example there are icons in the side mirrors to show you when you should not overtake and in the event of a possible approaching impact you will hear audible alarm. This reminds me that today I am still to expect a collision with the owner of the car.

High time to return. I'm saying goodbye to the view of the Karlštejn Castle, which proudly stands between the green hills like a crown on the head of Charles IV.

I am returning to the crime scene and already from afar I can see an impatient guy. Not skimping on curses I again look at the watch. That would be the owner, I steel myself. And the anger quite suits him, I'm smiling to myself.

When he sees his car and me in it, initially he doesn´t even look at me through the flurry of anger. But then he stops himself and self-righteously says: "A beautiful car, it must have cost a great deal of money..." For a moment I am ashamed of my impulsive escape in a strange car, but finally I come to my senses and truthfully respond: “Not really … but it was worth a sin!"
