We are sure that even when there are only a couple of days left, it is quite possible to have time to take the best from the city. That is why in this article, we focus on attractions that cannot be ignored if you are in Prague for the first time. Also, note that you can always get Prague free walking tour to get the most out of your visit.
Transport
It is obvious that Prague Castle, Vysehrad, and other attractions are worth seeing on foot, but driving to the zoo is, for instance, more practical. Also, the local public transportation is excellent. In Prague, there is a very simple, convenient, and pretty metro – only three branches. Stations that may come in handy:
- Starom?stská (very center);
- Malostranská (Prague Castle);
- M?stek and Muzeum (National Museum and excellent shopping boulevard).
In general, it all depends on the place where you decide to stay.
Accommodation
Housing on the right bank of the Vltava is more practical since the area is less mountainous (making it simpler to get home after a delicious Czech beer), and the prices are a little more tolerable (unlike the left bank and Prague Castle, where you have to pay also for living in the historical part cities). The I.P. Pavlova station neighborhood is a wonderful choice because it has a lot of lodging options and is also peaceful and appealing.
Sightseeing
When you’ve regained your strength a bit and want to get a dose of beauty, you can walk forward across the Jiraskow Bridge, walk along the promenade, and admire the Dancing House – a great example of how an office building can become a landmark.
Another life hack: if you are suddenly tired while walking around the center, and the craving for beauty does not let go, you can ride tram number 22 (which looks like an ordinary tram, tickets for public transport are valid on it) or 91 (a special historical tram, with its own conductor, route and ticket for €1.3). And the legs will rest, and you can admire the beauty.
Well, where without plans for the evening? A great place is Kulový blesk, very close to the I.P. Pavlova metro station. Here it is clearly worth trusting the taste of the waiters and at least roughly telling what kind of beer you like, and then try to somehow hold on and leave the establishment on your own feet. Interesting offerings include cherry ale and 20% stout. If you don’t feel like beer anymore, you can take Becherovka or Fernet – this is another classic Czech drink, lemon or berry liqueur. Delicious and drunk.
If you are a vegetarian, you should check out Lehka hlava – the place is located on the shortest street in the city, it will delight you with bright interiors and excellent menus for €4.2 (soup, second course, and water).
If suddenly the evening program in the bar ended too quickly or a critical amount was eaten, we advise you to take a 20-minute walk towards Vysehrad. No wonder this place was chosen to make a castle back in pagan times – there is a special atmosphere and power here. Grab a cup of coffee, Kofola (the local national equivalent of Coca-cola), or a snack at the Hospudka Na Hradbach pub, then go for a walk or sit on the wall and watch the sunset – the romance is alive!
If you’re leaving by bus, before leaving, drop by Remember – the best Vietnamese food in town. There is very little space there, and therefore, if your height is above 170, it is better not to even go upstairs – you will have to sit bent over. Feel free to take pho soup on the path – for €3.6.
