visiting Prague

Posted by: Phil Sparks on 15 December 2003

Thinking about booking a short break away with my Wife and without kids (assuming I can persuade the parents in law to do the baby sitting duties). We've both always fancied seeing Prague in the spring. Can anyone recommend areas we should be looking to stay in or near, the only name I recognise trawling through the web sites is Wenceslas Sq.

Even better if there's a hotel or good booking site anyone could recommend that would be much appreciated. Happy to pay GBP100-ish per room per night, but would begrudge a lot more than this.

Finally any 'must see' sights?

Prague is well worth the trip. We stayed at the Savoy. V luxurious yet cheap. Booked through Inghams.

Two good restaurants are the Livi Dur near the Castle & the Blue Duck in the Old Town.

There is loads to see and an old thread on the subject is buried in the Padded Cell. Things to see?

Steinberg Museaum, empty of tourists yet packed with Durer, Rembrandt etc, etc
The Castle and St Vitus Cathedral
Charles Bridge at 7 am before the crowds get up
All the Baroque & Art Noveau buildings
The Loretto
Petrin Park
a million other churches
Carrefour
