My Experience of Prague

Story/Tip

Quote:

-Travel/Transport- Transport in Prague is excellent. They have a metro as well as buses and trams so getting around the city is never a problem. For me there were three things that made the transport great, it was clean, it was efficient and it was cheap. You can buy tickets that give you unlimited travel for certain periods. I think it was something like 90p to travel for 75 minutes on buses, metro and trams. I thought that this was really good value. I never had to wait more than five minutes for a bus and the metro was even more regular than that. I'm quite an impatient person so this was really good for me. The metro was surprisingly clean, especially when you compare...Read More

Prague Card

Attraction | "An Easy, Cheap Way to See Prague"

Quote:

During my recent trip to Prague my friends and I decided that the best way to see as many things as possible for as little as possible was to buy the Prague card. A full list of what you can do with the Prague card is available at the website (http://www.praguecard.biz/) so I'm not going to list every single thing that the pass will get you but there are a lot of attractions available. The pass entitles you to four days worth of free passes into the attractions listed on the website and in that time there is no way that you will be able to see absolutely everything. I consider this to be a good thing because it means you have a lot of choice. For the £25 that it cost me to buy ...Read More

Kathy's Prague Centre Apartment

Hotel | "You Get What You Pay For"

Quote:

-The Location and Getting There- The best thing about this apartment is its location. It's located just off of Wenceslas Square which is right in the centre of Prague. Within walking distance is the old town and Charles Bridge. So when it says that it's a centre apartment it really is right in the centre. Getting there is really easy regardless of where you're coming from in Prague because there is a metro five minutes away. The nearest metro station is Mustek but do be aware that there are at least six exits for mustek. We ended up taking over an hour to walk to our apartment because we didn't realise that there was more than one exit on the first day that we arrived. This rea...Read More

Prague Castle (Hradcany Castle)

Attraction | "A Big Disappointment"

Quote:

This review is going to be really mixed because there is so much to Prague castle. It's really like going to a little village because there is so much to the castle and the area around it and if you want to see it all then you'll need to spend the entire day there. -Tickets- I bought a Prague Card and got the short tour free on that but if you don't have a prague card the prices are: Short Tour- 250 crowns (£9.22) Long Tour-350 Crowns (£12.90) You can also pay to get into individual attractions and discounts are available, as well as family tickets. (Please not that the currency in Prague is changing so prices may not be accurate.) -Getting T...Read More

Old Town Hall/Astronomical Clock

Attraction | "The Best Thing to Do in Prague"

Quote:

This review is going to be about three things, the astronomical clock, the old town hall and the old town hall tower. They are all basically the same building but were three different experiences for me. You do have to pay to go into the tower and the hall, they cost 70 crowns each (which was around £2.30 when I was there). -The Astronomical Clock- This is obviously an astronomical clock and it is very pretty but the main attraction is that every hour on the hour the windows open and models of the apostles go past the window. We were drawn to the clock by the crowds of people standing in front of it and I was really expecting something amazing to happen but it...Read More
