Prague- travel blog

The best time for visiting Prague is March- June and then September- November. This time it is very nice weather there, about 12-20C degrees and less tourists compared to summer.

It's beautiful city with so many monuments and interesting buildings. The whole city has powerful architecture. Beautiful during day, but also at night.

You can also do there some shopping, there are great shops on street or in shopping centre.

How to get around Prague:

There is extremely organised metro (tube). There are three lines of tube, using it you can get from one part of the city to completely different one in only few minutes. There are also trams which are usually little more crowded and they have more stops but they're still pretty comfortable, though. I don't recommend buses, they are over-crowded and slow.

Taxi services like Bolt or Uber are not expensive there.

What to see:

1. Prague Astronomical Clock

600 year-old clock (third oldest astronomical clock in the world still working). It is right in the centre. There are four small figures, they are set in motion on the hour.

2. Charles Bridge

Historic bridge, pedestrian only.

3. Prague Castle

Castle complex built in 9h century. It is largest ancient castle in the world.

4. Petrin

Hill above Prague with lookout tower. Regular ticket price for lookout tower is 120czk (4,8euros). Reduced ticket for students, children and seniors is 65czk (2,6euros).

5. Stromovka

It's beautiful huge park near zoo. Beautiful place, full of trees, dog-friendly place, children-friendly place. There are playgrounds, few pounds with ducks. bevers and fish. You can also see policemans on horses. Amazing place for a walk.

Where to stay:

1. Hotel Atos- it's located on the other side of river. Not too far from the centre (15 minutes walking). There's a tram stop nearby.

There are also many hostels and airbnb's for great low price.

Food is pretty expensive there. If you eat in a local restaurant in the centre, it can be really expensive around 50euros two meals. But if you walk a little out of the centre, prices are normal, around 20-30 two traditional czech meals. Tips for great restaurants:
