Stay for a While!

Getting to Prague can be just as fun and beautiful as the city itself. Flying is one of the most efficient ways to get to Prague for lots of international tourists. Fly the friendly skies into Prague through the Ruzyně International Airport, which is about a half hour from the center of the city. From the airport there are a number of ways to see the sites as you travel into the city. Whether you take the bus, airport express, shuttle or a taxi, the 30 minute ride will be well appreciated. Besides flying, some visitors share the luxury of being close enough to Prague where they can drive to the city. Be aware that though there are about five main highways leading into the city, some are unfinished or in their first stages. Another great way to travel, is by train! Prague has two main train stations and both cater to international visitors. Visit Wikitravel for more information on traveling into Prague.

Okay, so the quality travel time is great but it's time to get settled into a hotel. The hotels in Prague offer the best views of the city. Not only is the view exceptional from Prague Hotels but the hospitality is first rate from the least expensive hotel to the most costly quarters. Need suggestions for where to enjoy your stay? My personal favorite is the Grand Hotel on Old Town Square. Elegant yet medieval embellished as its city, the Grand Hotel on Old Town Square is one of the most popularly visited hotels. It has a stellar location and again the view is picture perfect. No need to travel far away from this treasure filled hotel, walk out of the doors and you're right on the streets of Old Town Square for a day of sightseeing, shopping and relaxation!

Seeing Sites

There's no denying that the view of Prague is impeccable. As one of the most sought out attractions, the aerial view of Prague is one that is most awe inspiring. Rolling grassy hills, and medieval architectural buildings and homes are the backdrop to towering cathedrals and most notably, the Prague Castle.

Boasted as Prague's number one attraction, this 1100-year-old castle is a medieval city within the city. Filled with cathedrals, gardens, royal palaces and galleries, the Prague Castle is definitely a day trip! Be aware that certain parts of the castle like the Old Royal Palace and, "The Story of Prague Castle" exhibition, are closed for parts of the year and when open do require an admissions ticket. Visiting on an off season? Don't worry, there are plenty more places of interest at the castle. You have to check out the Changing of the Guards ceremony every hour on the hour, this is something most people only see one TV!

Already been to the Prague Castle? Witness an event once graced by the presence of famous greats such as Duke Ellington and B. B. King. Visit Prague during the week of November 22nd-30th for the International Jazz Festival. With artists coming from almost 15 countries, this jazzy event is sure to be one that you won't get tired of quickly and if you look closely. . .the Czech Republic's President could be in attendance!

Anytime during your visit to Prague, take the kids over to the Toy Museum Prague--yes a museum of toys! This attraction is actually inside of the Prague Castle--it has everything! The giant toy palace has everything from old wooden puppets to new age dolls. The great thing about this museum. . .kids under 15 are FREE!

These sites and events are a minuscule peek of the attractions that Prague has to offer, so check out any of the city's websites online for more information. Take advantage of your visit whether it's for play or relaxation and enjoy the view, walk barefoot on the cobblestone and blow bubbles in the park.

Venture to Prague

Take a journey through the cobblestone roads of Prague. As the capital of the Czech Republic, this gorgeously preserved city is increasingly captivating the attention of international site seers.

Prague is overflowing with historical wonders—an 1100-year-old castle, towering cathedrals and an Old Town Square filled with the city’s most legendary monuments. The city was also home to renowned early 20th century existential writer Franz Kafka, whose legacy is evident throughout the city’s streets and museums.

Oh, but don’t write this European treasure off as a history lesson yet. If you’re looking for a more modern twist on the city, Wenceslas Square is home to several shopping centers, restaurants and casinos just to start. This bustling marvel cuts Prague’s visitors a small break from the serenity of its more tranquil attractions.

Don’t forget to bring the kiddies. Any season is open season for the Prague Zoo. All the lions, tigers and bears your kids can imagine, the Prague Zoo is open for year round fun! Filled with parks, swimming pools and skating rinks, Prague is such a great place to enjoy your family while you enjoy the city’s vast amenities.

Prague’s temperatures average between 41 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit for a comfortable visit year round. So take a family vacation, brush up on your Czech phrases (though English, German and Spanish languages will do just fine for conversation) and experience the beauty of Prague.
