Prague Pocket Guide

Images Of 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.

    Prague-Just walk it

    The city itself seems very large and spread apart, but the truth is if you don't mind the walk almost everywhere and every attraction can be walked to, about an hour walk in all directions from the city center. The walk to any one location is very distracting, in a good way, that you forget the time or the km, soon you find yourself at your destination already. It seems like every building is different with its own character.

    Insider Tip:Stay in Old Prague or Prague 1 its near everything you need to do and see in Prague, it is a little farther out from the train station but only about a 30-40 mins walk. The night time is when this city shows its true colors, and the restaurants stay open a little later so a nice quiet evening while dining and a beer is great. If you love the clubs and discos don't fret there are plenty around as well.

    It was nice.

    It was nice. We went there quite late(AM1). But the staff was very kind. when we arriced there, we were thirty. and the staff gave us a bottle of water for free. the room is clean and big. If I go there again, I'd like to stay one more.

    Prague

    Prague is an absolutely beautiful place. I wish I could have stayed much longer. It's all UNESCO protected and stunning. Lots of history and great food and partying and just about anything you can imagine. I loved it there. Super inexpensive, too.

    Dont go to Jizera Restaurant in Václavské náměstí ( near Wenceslas Square)

    I was faked in this restaurant. The waitress gave one the cheaper menu when I ordered the food. When I paid the bill, the amount of money was different from the one in the menu. I told her and she gave me another menu with more expensive price. (~200CZK more) This restaurant is just in the main street Václavské náměstí ( near Wenceslas Square). Be careful when dining out in this area. I cant believe such a thing could have happened in the main street!

    Insider Tip:Try to keep the menu with you until paying the bill. Czech people are somehow not so reliable although I met some good guys in Czech. Be careful!
