Situated in the centre of Europe, with borders on Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland, the Czech Republic is becoming more and more popular as a holiday destination. Prague is right in the centre of the Czech Republic, making it a good base for exploring the rest of the country.

With a castle constructed in the 9th century, a Jewish Quarter, Lesser Town, Old Town and New Town, there is plenty to see in Prague. A holiday to Prague must include some sightseeing, as Prague is filled with beautiful historic buildings such as St Nicholas Church, the Old Town Square and the National Museum in the New Town. Prague has a religious history, with many churches and museums, but is also an excellent holiday destination for young travellers as there are plenty of clubs for the younger reveller.

Prague is divided by the River Vltava. East of the river you will find the main shopping and restaurant area, as well as Wenceslas Square, the National Museum and the theatres and concert halls. Prague Castle is west of the river, and is a less commercial area with extensive parkland and the National Gallery.

Prague Public Transport

Prague is well served by public transport with trams, buses and the metro, but if you want to explore the Czech Republic for yourself, hiring a car makes sense. However, parking space is at a premium in Prague so if you do hire a car, make sure your hotel or apartment has its own car park.

Prague is increasingly popular as a destination for the younger traveller. Whereas Amsterdam may have previously been a favourite destination for stag and hen night parties, taking a short break in Prague is becoming more common. Reflecting this, Prague has a wide range of hotels, ideal for short and long breaks. Our Prague offers cover 3 star and 4 star hotels, luxury hotels and budget hotel accommodation.
