Movie Set Travel: Wanted

June 27, 2008 at 9:35 AM | by sedona | 0 Comments

Summer's big action-adventure flicks are finally surfacing and "Wanted" won't disappoint. Angelina's back as a gun-toting, ass-kicking secret society trainer for a young man who finds out his father was an assassin. (You can barely tell she'll soon be a mother of 5!)

Wes Gibson (James McAvoy) is a boring office drone popping anti-anxiety meds when he meets Fox (Jolie) and finds out his father was a member of a secret society of assassins called "Fraternity." Fox takes him under her wing and trains him to bring out his own special powers and avenge his father's death. It's a comic book come to life, in which all the characters are stunning.

"Wanted" was shot in stunning Prague, so this Friday we offer you some cool things to check out in the Czech capital.

Where To Stay: Iron Gate Hotel This architectural gem is located in the city's Old Town in a renovated 14th-century building. The Royal Suites feature the original frescoes (no touching!) and painted wooden ceilings. Another charming perk is the cozy, private inner courtyard. Expect to pay for all these touches though: Rooms start around $300, though the European buffet breakfast is free.

Where To Eat: Kampa Park If you're going to splurge in Prague, splurge at Kampa Park. The place to be seen, Kampa is just off the Charles Bridge with many tables offering panoramic views. The menu blends seasonal ingredients with old-world cooking methods. Look for dishes like venison with red cabbage, veal tongue, root vegetable pavé and cardamom sauce or Norwegian salmon with vanilla-potato purée.

What to See: National Museum Formerly the residence of the powerful Lobkowicz family, the National Museum is a treasure trove of history with copies of the crown jewels, paintings, statues, antique instruments and more. It's anthropological collection has remains of the country's ancient population. And every first Monday of the month admission's free!
