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.

    And the rain rain rain came down down down...

    I had the unfortunate timing of being in the city right when the floods were starting, so it rained everyday. Cant say I got to see as much as I would have liked. Though, after traveling through Eastern Europe for a few weeks, Prague seemed like another carbon-copied, cobblestoned, castled, old town squared version of every other city I'd been to. Only my personal experience. I know many who love the place. Shared a room with a guy who said he comes once every year, for 16 years!

    Insider Tip:Umbrella? And see Anne or Anna (?) 'S gardens and palace. Beautiful and green, and hidden behind the slightly dissapointing but overhyped Prague castle. Less tourists here. Room to breathe.

    We enjoyed Prague! A great place for young people and a lot of activities to do both day and night. During the day there are plenty of great things to see. The old town, The Charles Bridge, the Prague Castle, and more will take you at least 2 full days. At night there are a lot of great places to meet people and have fun. Transportation is easy and accessible. The city is decently priced if you stay out of the touristy areas. A bit more dirty than I would have preferred. But a great time overall

    I think Prague is too touristy and there isn't much to see. There are so many better places to go in Europe. Prague was simply hyped up at one point and now EVERYONE goes there making it too crowded.

    Insider Tip:Go to Kutna Hora and see the Sedlec Ossuary. It really is an interesting site and a great way to get out of Prague for a day.

    Prague is great

    Prague is almost like a college town, everything happens around the Old Town Square. It's pretty affordable too. Alcohol and food are all relatively cheap for Europe. It's a little small so you can walk around it in a day. You can see all the sites in a day and spend the rest of your time partying or relaxing. Doesn't have the hustle and bustle of a big city but it's still a great place.

    I love Prague

    Prague is very similar to Amsterdam, the only difference is people are more drunk in Prague and people are more high in Amsterdam. I did not partake in the partying all night, but I know others did and they had an amazing time. Prague has a lot to see and you can do it in 3 days, but you could also stay there for a week if you wanted to. I wish our weather was better and we had more time!

    Insider Tip:There is a gelato place near the clock tower by the U Prince Hotel that is the cheapest and the best!! Go to the Belgian Chocolate place because they have the best desserts. It is near the clock tower as well. Go see the dancing housing and rent a bike if you can.
