Prague Travel Guide

 297 Reviews  Our favorite part of the visit to the Cathedral was ascending the 287 steps to the top of the South Tower. From there, you can get commanding views of the city, the castle, and the surrounding area. Definitely worth the effort should you be able to enter. 

 365 Reviews  Prague Castle is a complex of around 60 buildings. Its construction began in the late 9th century. Between the 12th and 13th centuries it was fortified and expanded. In the 14th century, under the reign of king Charles IV it was renovated and enlarged. In 1485 king Ladislaus II Jagello started to... 

 289 Reviews  The tower was built for a merchants gothic house in 1338. Later on, what is now the Old Town Hall started to come together when various of the burgher houses were bought up and combined. Needless to say these were remodeled over time. When you are down on the ground you will see the trumpeter up in... 

 145 Reviews  After Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square probably is the most important public square in Prague. Located in the New Town area, Wenceslas Square definitely has a more modern feel to it than the other square. From its humble beginnings as a horse market, the square has grown to become one of the city's... 

 235 Reviews  The 1.7 hectares Old Town Square is where the tourist gathers. Famous tourist attractions include the Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock, the Municipal House, the Estates Theater, Jan Hus Monument and others. Also there are restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, galleries, street musicians and... 

 86 Reviews  Mala Strana, which translates as Lesser Town or, more elegantly, as Little Quarter, is located below Prague Castle hill, on the opposite side of the Vltava River to the Old Town area. In fact, the famous Charles Bridge connects Mala Strana to Stare Mesto. I prefer the term Little Quarter when... 

 33 Reviews  During a free tour, our tour group stopped at the Bohemian Bagel. I witnessed unsanitary food preparation in the kitchen, and I complained to an employee. Her response was rude, lethargic, and no attempt was made to reconcile the situation. For this reason, I would not recommend eating here. 

 21 Reviews  Club Lavka has got it all : cocktails, 80s music, internet access, strippers, 'exotic dancers', a terrace overlooking the river and Charles Bridge and flashy lights. What more do you want....Staff understand English, which is great. You also get frisked with this big huge metal/drug detector thingy... 

 34 Reviews   Statistically Czechs are one of the top beer drinkers in Europe. There are huge species of beer possible to buy in shops. Actually beer here is not only used for drinking, but also to make soaps, shampoo, as an extra add for food (eg., sausages with sauce of black beer), so on. Interesting things... 

 67 Reviews  From outside looks big and legitimate business with many employees inside. I read the displayed exchange rate for British Pound to be £1=31.37 CZK. I entered the big shop and asked about the rate for Scottish notes and the answer was that it is the same as the English notes which is not very common.... 

 52 Reviews  As said by many, and as I would like to reinforce, Prague Taxis are a scam! Their metres are as magical as the magical city of Prague itself. Arrange your taxi with your hotel or by calling reliable taxi operators such as AAA or by arranging pickups with czech-transport.com (at least you can review... 

 30 Reviews  There are plenty of places to visit close to Prague. One of the most popular of all daytrips is the trip to Kutna Hora. Kutna Hora, about an hour by train from Prague, was once one of the wealthiest and most powerful of cities in Bohemia. The two main things to see are the Sedlec Ossuary, which is... 

 29 Reviews  The Schwarzenberg Palace is a 16th century renaissance structure housing a museum with baroque bohemian art. The exterior is a painted façade with etched sgraffito patterns to simulate cut stone. The building is located on the western portion of castle hill.
