In the Main Train Station in Prague, known as Hlavni Nadrazi, the government is upgrading the facilities. One glorious corner, currently very much out of the way, is patiently waiting its turn for a return to greatness. Come, let's enjoy it for a moment before the restoration teams come in...

known as Hlavni Nadrazi,
there is a cafe known
as the Fantova Kavarna.

Also known as the Wilson Station after Woodrow Wilson who was supportive of the first Czecho-Slovak republic. There is plaque to him on the wall of the passage that passes beneath the Fanta Café.
