Spires and baroque domes over the Vltava, beer halls that have been pouring for five centuries and castle towns scattered across Bohemia. The Czech Republic rewards anyone who looks past the postcard.
Choose September after the first week for a walking-led visit to Prague: the main sightseeing crowds begin to ease, daytime conditions are usually mild, and central rooms generally face less demand than in high summer. The trade-off is less daylight and cooler evenings, not an empty Charles Bridge. May is the spring alternative if longer […]
A complete vegan meal in Prague can be a Czech-style goulash, a plate of mushroom ravioli or a burger in a neighbourhood pub. Choose the main you want, then the district that fits your day. Vegan’s Prague places you on Nerudova below Prague Castle, while the other choices take you into New Town, Letná and […]
A dinner for two in Prague can revolve around the river, a Czech duck dish or the room itself. Kampa Park pairs seafood with a Vltava outlook near Charles Bridge. U Modré Kachničky gives duck a historic-house setting, while CODA brings art to the table. Across in New Town, Grand Cru suits an evening shaped […]
Prague’s canteens, sandwich counters and noodle soups offer several ways to keep lunch inexpensive. Havelská Koruna offers a Czech canteen lunch, while Sisters Bistro makes a smaller bite out of carefully topped sandwiches. The other choices take you to a butcher’s counter on Dlouhá, a weekday cafeteria in Těšnov and a seated noodle-soup lunch in […]
Prague’s metro connects the main railway station, Florenc bus station and districts beyond the compact sightseeing centre. Choose your platform by the line’s terminal name, then choose your exit for the place you want to reach. For Old Town and Lesser Town visits, the final walk and station access matter as much as the ride. […]

Prague’s sights stretch from Wenceslas Square through Old Town and across Charles Bridge to the Castle hill. Level central streets give way to cobbles, stairs and an uphill approach. Public transport links those sightseeing areas with the main railway station, the zoo and the airport. In this guide Walking, trams or the metro? Metro lines […]
Travelling from Alexanderplatz in Berlin to Wenceslas Square in Prague by coach means reaching Berlin ZOB first, then taking the metro after arrival at Florenc. Choose the coach when its fare and departure suit you. Choose rail when shorter station approaches matter more. The city connections are part of the journey, not just details at […]
Prague’s park-and-ride car parks let you leave the car on the outskirts and continue to Old Town Square by metro and on foot. Choose the site on your approach rather than driving across Prague to save a few minutes on the train. Zličín 1, Chodov, Letňany and the Černý Most garage cover four main motorway […]
You can drink alcohol in Prague, but designated public spaces restrict both drinking and remaining there with an open alcoholic drink. Old Town Square and Charles Bridge are among the covered places.
