Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic has been a popular destination for weekend breaks and longer trips for years now and the choice of places to stay reflect that. There is a wonderful variety of holiday accommodations in Prague (Czech) , from cozy privately run B&Bs and apartments, to lavishly opulent hotels. With so much choice, there is bound to be something to suit every taste.
Like any major city, parking in Prague is at a premium, so if you only going to be visiting landmarks in the city, avoid renting a car. Just like most city centre holiday homes, like furnished apartments in Barcelona , there may be parking allocated to where you are staying, but sitting in traffic jams, decyphering street signs written in Czech and finding somewhere to park once you reach your destination will take up valuable time that could be better spent elsewhere. Bring sensible shoes that you will be comfortable walking long distances in. While every place you may wish to visit is within easy walking distance of each other, you will rack up an impressive mileage during your time in this beautiful and historic city. Many streets in the ‘old town’ are paved with cobbles so high-heels or loafers are not recommended.
You will find that most people you encounter speak good English, but it is advisable to learn a few basic phrases, such as ‘hello’ (dobry den), ‘please’ (prosim) and ‘thank you’ (dekuji), out of politeness, if anything. Local inn keepers and restaurateurs will surely appreciate the effort. MyCzechRepublic has a fantastic list of useful phrases that is well worth looking at before you leave.
The most important tip though, is to enjoy yourself. Prague is a delightful city packed with culture and history. Whatever you do while you’re there, enjoy!
