City Guide Prague, Czech Republic

Visiting Prague

It’s a tired cliché when it comes to many cities around the world, but Prague really is an enchanting mix of the old and the new. The Nové Mesto (New Town) symbolises the new independent Czech Republic, while the Staré Mesto (Old Town) is one of the best preserved old towns in Europe as it remained untouched in both World Wars. While these are both on the eastern side of the River Vltava, to the west is Malá Strana (Lesser Town) where Prague’s medieval castle dominates the skyline. Along with all the sightseeing to do, Prague has more than its fair share of affordable restaurants, while search hard enough and you’ll find some of the cheapest (and tastiest) beer in Europe.

    Love Prague

    1) Pros: Prague is so gorgeous. Picturesque is the word I'm looking for. So cheap with nice, great services. I will definitely come back for sure. I had an amazing time there because the weather was perfect. 2) Con: It's not a party city on the weekdays. There's a pub scene with lots of beer-drinking, but not much dancing if that's your thang.

    Insider Tip:Check out this cute coffee shop called Friends Coffee House near the Mosaic Hotel. The cheesecake there is like...dammmmmn.

    Nice!

    Prague is very nice but you'll have to stick to the tourist circuit to see the must-see. Two days or maybe three would totalluy be enough to spend in Prague for it is a small town and main interests are all located at walking distance. Prepare to stream in a tourist flow.

    Insider Tip:Use ATM to change: there's a 21% VAT to pay when you buy crowns at change shops. Check mini markets or newspaper shops to buy your souvenirs: Praue tourist area is very commercial, souvenirs will be the same but the price will be lower.

    Definitely need to visit

    It was one of the most beautiful cities I have been too in Europe. Definitely worth a visit and spend a few days there.

    Insider Tip:Czech Republic is known for its beer! Do a beer tour and go to the beer museum to try 1 of the 100 types they have on tap. Even if you're not avid beer drinker you will find something you like.

    The best city in the world

    Prague is the best place I've ever been to. Amazing architecture with so many different styles and old buildings; I could just walk around for hours and be amazed at everything I saw. Food is absolutely great and cheap, as well as the beer. Parties are crazy and go on all week long, but make sure you get at least one night sleep so that you can walk around the city and see all the amazing things it has.

    Insider Tip:Don't go to the astronomical clock, it's just stupid.

    Yeah it's okay

    I was only really in Prague for an evening, when it was pretty cold. Had a good time and the city looked pretty good, but I can't say that much more about it.

    Insider Tip:The Big Lebowski is a bar where you can pay whatever you want. It's also got a nice atmosphere.
