    Prague, Czech Republic

Czech Republic in pictures - Prague

  • Prague

    This is the first city in Central Europe frequented by tourists. All year round and from all countries around the world it is visited also, by "neighbours" in the European Union (Germans, British, French), Australians, Japanese and Canadians. If you are not Czech, you will almost always find someone who speaks English. If you stop to have a conversation with a local, you will often see that your interlocutor is of Algerian or Vietnamese origin. These are the communities found in Prague, among others from Europe, Africa or Asia.As for the capital city, largely restored since the end of communism, Prague remains, with its 1.2 million inhabitants, a comfortably sized city, but it is evolving quickly. Those who visited it 5 years ago would simply not recognize it. New shops, brand new façades (their Gothic, baroque, neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau ornaments have been restored, repainted and re-gilded). The Prague of today is without any doubt even more beautiful than it was during its glory years under the reign of Charles IV.Book a room in the 1st district (Praha 1), which extends on both sides of the Vltava river: on one bank is the Wenceslas Square for entertainment, and on the other bank is the Mala Strana for peace and quiet. Otherwise, you will lose time in transport and unless you want to live in Prague like the locals, you may miss the picturesque environment (expressways or sites within range of hotel). For a weekend, stay at a palace (around £275 per night) or a hotel with 3 or 4 stars (about £90 per night), or a 2 star hotel, but downtown (prices start from £45 per night).

Destination overview

It definitely is a destination to be discovered if you have never been before. Fly away for a weekend to the country's main city, which is also 'New Europe's' top city in terms of the number of tourists. Prague has changed a lot in the past 15 years. It has got better, for sure, thanks to the restoration of its historic monuments. However, some other cities in the country can also boast ancient buildings and sites. Quickly go to the old kingdoms of Bohemia and Moravia.

pros

  •  Prague is one of the most beautiful cities of Central Europe.
  •  Bubbling with novelty, the country is becoming more modern every day.

cons

  •  Charles Bridge, invaded by tourists in the day time.
  •  Bohemian crystal, unaffordable in souvenir boutiques.

Czech Republic Travel guide

Our Editorial team's advice

From a public place of free access, the Golden Street (where Kafka lived) has become a listed site, with an entrance fee in the day time. We are hoping that this measure is only temporary as it seems excessive to make tourists pay £1.70 where all of the houses have become shops (handicraft, puppets, books, soap and organic cosmetics). After 5:00 pm and until 10:00 pm, the access is free, but you cannot see the interior of the houses. This is a shame, because it is striking to see where the (tiny) kitchen was, as well as the living room, which is also very small.
