Prague City Guide

overall city rating 83%

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 is packed with history and charisma. The sights are well kept and certainly aren't a let down. The prices are still cheap and accomodation is very good. The food is cheap as hell and extremely good quality....The castle offers great views of the city while Charles Bridge always seems… more

    Prague is beautiful so it doesnt really matter where you stay. This hostel is ok, free internet is handy. The beds are a little uncomfortable but the bathrooms are good. Very close to the town centre as well.
