There are souvenir shops on every corner and tourists by the thousands. Not quite what I was expecting. I\'ve traveled many eastern European countries and heard wonderful comments about Prague along the way, but this was a big disappointment. Sites are great, but consider going earlier or later in the year if you don\'t want to be annoyed by tourists or considered a nuisance by nationals.close

Levir was a very nice hostel. The receptionists were super helpful and very friendly. It was nice and quiet in the hostel and the beds were comfortable. this is right near Florenc train station which is definitely a plus.

It was nice and quiet in the hostel and the beds were comfortable. this is right near Florenc train station which is definitely a plus. It is a little bleak in comparison to another hostel we stayed in in Prague, but very clean and worth the money. It is also in the vicinity of some really delicious, cheap restaraunts. close

The city is quite easily navigated on foot and you can see a lot of the main tourist attractions, but to really learn about the city, especially if you can read the local language, take a guided tour in your native language. we learned a lot about the city and some fun stuff you wouldn\'t...more The city is quite easily navigated on foot and you can see a lot of the main tourist attractions, but to really learn about the city, especially if you can read the local language, take a guided tour in your native language. we learned a lot about the city and some fun stuff you wouldn\'t know otherwise. close

Amazing place, beautiful cathedrals and great pubs. Rocky o reillys is the place to go for food and drink, they do veggie breakfasts !!! They also have a shooting range which is the best around and great vaule for money. Loads of steakhouses for the meat eaters. Do not stay in the Adria hotel,...more Amazing place, beautiful cathedrals and great pubs. Rocky o reillys is the place to go for food and drink, they do veggie breakfasts !!!

I'd recommend the old reliable 4 seasons or the radisson. Designer shops on every corner !!!!!! got beautiful Dior shoes : ) If you go on one sightseeing tour make sure it is the cathedral of bones. Its a small city so you can walk it all, loads of side alley ways that all have shops and lovely bars, cafes. Amazing holiday defo going back.close

The public transit is very confusing (except the metro was easy), if you aren\'t somewhat familiar with the area or if you don\'t speak a bit of czech. The two clubs we went to were pretty fun, its hard to judge when you are sick as a dog. I think this city would be a blast in the summer. close

Prague is a beautiful city, historic, artistic, and has lots of culture. The only problem is, we went on December 21st. It was too cold. We arrived here from Ottawa, Canada which is -20 right now. Even so it is only -6 here in Prague it feels much colder, as it is a humid type of cold....more Prague is a beautiful city, historic, artistic, and has lots of culture. The only problem is, we went on December 21st. It was too cold. We arrived here from Ottawa, Canada which is -20 right now. Even so it is only -6 here in Prague it feels much colder, as it is a humid type of cold. Overall, the city is amazing. Shopping is a little cheaper than in Canada, but not much. Food is for sure ten times better than Ottawa, Canada and much cheaper. Great place to visit.close

On the other hand, the tourist industry is so developed that there are plenty of chances to get ripped off. I had a couple of very disappointing overpriced meals, and a couple of disappointing overpriced tours. You should def. try to get info from an insider before you go, about where to eat, drink and what sights to see.close

Amazing! Relatively cheap but be careful about being sensitive to the conversion rate. 150 korona is a lot more than you think! It was a bit cold of course but there is so much to do! You can find a party scene if you want or just chill out with a latte. I loved it! The public transit is great...more Amazing!

Prague is a city that definitely doesnt leave you empty. You have many things to do. a lot of restaurants, beer houses, pubs, discoteques... Partying is no problem here. Also, Prague has many kultural things as concerts, shows, museums... I like that a lot of young tourists come here to party....more Prague is a city that definitely doesnt leave you empty.

I like that a lot of young tourists come here to party. I met some nice italians and english guys. Czechs I dont like really much, they are always moody, not smiling at all. I thing that Prague as a city is really nice, but people are not so much. But otherwise I didnt have problems looking in general.close
