PRAGUE CITY GUIDE - THINGS TO SEE AND DO

See inside for details about getting around, sightseeing, shopping, nightlife and more

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic (Czechia), a country located at the heart of Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Germany, Poland and Slovakia.

In the Middle Ages, Prague became the capital of Charles IV's Bohemian Kingdom, with Prague Castle the seat of the empire. And the city has played a pivotal role in the region ever since. Prague's epic history has produced a city full of beauty, of stunning Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque era buildings, and of majestic squares.

In modern times, the statist communist era of the mid-20th century has given way to dynamic capitalism. Tourism has helped drive the city's regeneration, transforming grey run-down buildings into bright elegant restaurants, vibrant bars and swish hotels.

Moving around – TransportationCentral Prague is easily managed on foot (though be sure to wear comfortable shoes). For longer trips, the city has a reliable public-transport system of metros, trams and buses. The system is integrated, meaning that the same tickets are valid on all types of transport, and for transfers between them.

Here are your options…

Walking Central Prague is compact, and individual neighbourhoods are easily explored on foot. Tram Extensive network; best way to get around shorter distances between neighbourhoods. Metro Fast and frequent, good for visiting outlying areas or covering longer distances. Bus Not much use in the city centre, except when travelling to/from the airport; operates in areas not covered by tram or metro. Taxi Relatively cheap but prone to rip-off drivers.

Bus & Tram To supplement the metro, the Prague Public Transport Authority (DPP) operates a comprehensive system of trams (streetcars) and buses that reach virtually every nook and cranny in the city. The DPP website has a handy 'Journey Planner' tab in English to enable you to plan your route.

Trams are convenient for crossing the river and moving between neighbourhoods. Buses are less useful for visitors and normally connect far-flung residential neighbourhoods to nearby metro stations or the centre.

The system uses the same tickets as the metro and metro rides can be combined with rides on both trams and buses, provided the ticket is still valid. Always validate an unstamped ticket on entering the tram or bus.

Trams and buses run from around 5am to midnight daily. After the system shuts down, a smaller fleet of night trams (51 to 59) and night buses rumbles across the city about every 40 minutes (only full-price tickets are valid on these services).

Metro Prague’s metro is operated by the Prague Public Transport Authority, which has information desks in both terminals of Prague's Václav Havel airport and in several metro stations, including the Můstek, Anděl, Hradčanská and Nádraží Veleslavín stations. The metro operates daily from 5am to midnight.

The metro has three lines: Line A (shown on transport maps in green) Links the airport bus to Malá Strana, Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square and Vinohrady. Line B (Yellow) Cross-river route from Smíchov in the southwest to central Náměstí Republiky and Florenc bus station. Line C (Red) Links main train station to Florenc bus station, Wenceslas Square and Vyšehrad.

Useful Stations The most useful metro stops for visitors include: • Hlavní nádraží (main train station) • Malostranská (Malá Strana) • Můstek (Wenceslas Square) • Muzeum (National Museum) • Staroměstská (closest to Old Town Square)

Taxi Taxis in Prague are an easy and relatively affordable way to get around town, though scams are an ever-present risk. The official rate for licensed cabs is 40Kč flag fall plus 28Kč per kilometre and 6Kč per minute while waiting. Any trip within the city centre should cost no more than 200Kč. A trip to the suburbs, depending on the distance, should cost 200Kč to 300Kč, and to the airport between 400Kč and 600Kč.

When flagging a cab, look for a cab with its yellow roof lamp lit and raise your hand. Establish your destination and a likely fare before getting in, and make sure the meter is switched on. Alternatively, call or ask someone to call a radio taxi, as they’re better regulated and more responsible.

Companies with honest drivers, 24-hour service and English-speaking operators include AAA Radio Taxi, ProfiTaxi and City Taxi.

Not to be missed - There is so much to see in Prague, here are a few that you must see:

Charles Bridge (Karlův most) is a 14th century stone bridge linking the two sides of Prague. This magnificent structure, one of the city's finest attractions, is the main pedestrian route connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town and Prague Castle.

From Charles Bridge visitors can enjoy fairy-tale views of Prague. The wide expanse of the Vltava River flows beneath it, flanked on both sides by elegant buildings. And Prague Castle towers above in its eminent position. Here you are truly in the centre of the city.

Charles Bridge throngs with people during the day. Street artists sketch and musicians play; look out for the jazz band, who are particularly entertaining. But for a truly romantic and less crowded stroll, try early morning or any time in the evening.

The entrance to Charles Bridge is marked at both ends by towers: the Old Town Bridge Tower and the Lesser Town Bridge Tower.

The Jewish Quarter (Josefov) in Prague is located between the Old Town Square and the Vltava River. The torrid history of the former Jewish Ghetto began in the 13th century, when Jewish people were ordered to vacate their disparate homes and settle in this one area.

Over the centuries, with Jews banned from living anywhere else in Prague, and with new arrivals expelled from Moravia, Germany, Austria and Spain joining them, ever more people crowded in to the quarter.

To add to this, inhabitants of the ghetto were forced to endure structural changes at the whim of the emperor or whichever ruler exercised control over them. The latest occurred in 1893-1913, when a number of buildings were flattened, and the layout of many streets remodelled.

Fortunately, most significant historical buildings were saved from destruction, and today they remain a testimony to the history of the Jews in Prague. They form the best preserved complex of historical Jewish monuments in the whole of Europe.

Prague Castle (Pražský hrad), founded around 880 AD, is the No. 1 tourist attraction in Prague and the largest ancient castle complex in the world.

The castle is also the city's most recognisable landmark, because it dominates the skyline: the castle is perched majestically on the hillside in the Castle District (Hradčany), high above the Lesser Town.

For parts of the 14th, 16th and 17th centuries, Prague Castle was the seat of the Kings of Bohemia. Today, the President of the Czech Republic rules from here. Prague Castle is not a single edifice though. It is a complex of buildings covering 7 hectares (18 acres), centred around three great courtyards, and enclosed within castle walls. The most prominent structure in the complex is St. Vitus Cathedral.

Prague Castle has had an eventful history. Differing political and religious forces, along with several programmes of rebuilding following destructive wars and fires, have produced an intriguing mix of historical buildings: ancient churches, palaces, great halls, state apartments, towers, fortifications, a monastery, museums, art galleries and Golden Lane.

Visitors can enter the castle complex for free, walk around the courtyards, and admire the historic buildings from the outside. But to gain a true understanding of the history and significance of it all, we recommend taking a Prague tour, as it will include a visit to Prague Castle in the itinerary.

The Astronomical Clock (Pražský orloj) is built into one side of the Old Town Hall Tower (Staroměstská radnice) at the Old Town Square.

The clock dates from the 15th century. To fully appreciate its intricate construction, join the crowd in front of the tower to watch the procession of the Twelve Apostles: on the hour, every hour a trap door opens and Christ marches out ahead of his disciples, while the skeleton of death tolls the bell to a statue of a defiant Turk.

Below the Astronomical Clock are 12 medallions with the signs of the zodiac, added by Josef Manes in 1865.

Shopping in PragueThe main Prague shopping area runs down Wenceslas Square, along Na Příkopě and into Republic Square.

Around the Old Town Square and in the Lesser Town small stores sell art, crystal and tourist souvenirs. Pařížská has luxury international boutique shops.

Traditional and Famous Czech Products include Glass. the glass-making industry has a very long tradition in the Czech Republic and Czech glass is well know the world over. Lead crystal is more sparkly, resonant and resistant than any other type of glass, because lead crystal is made from the finest ingredients. Branded porcelain has been a traditional Czech product for a long time. The best-known products include onion-pattern porcelain and the Thun-branded porcelain made in Karlovy Vary. Czech Jewellry has a long tradition and remains a favourite among women all over the world. Much like Czech glass, Czech jewellery is sought after the world over. Beer. Czech beer is one of the best-known and most requested beers worldwide. The biggest Czech brewers include Plzeňský Prazdroj, Pivovary Staropramen, Budvar, Bernard, PMS Přerov, Drinks Union and Starobrno.

Here are some shops where you can buy these famous products:

Glass. Just take a look around you and you will notice that almost every tourist shop sells Czech glass and crystal in styles ranging from lovely glass beaded necklaces to Czech crystal vases, wine glasses, champagne flutes and more, the list goes on.

However if you want something special then you need to visit stores like Swarovski that specialise in jewellery, accessories, crystal sculptures, stemware, chandeliers, and home décor.

The city of Prague features two Swarovski stores, both located mere steps from Old Town Square and both feature pretty window displays decorated with floating crystals. The stores are full of many multi-faceted stones in hundreds of eye-catching designs.

CRYSTAL HB s. r. o. (Inc.) is a well known Czech company with a tradition dating back to 1992. offering a large selection of decorative and utility glass and genuine Czech crystal.

The store is located in the centre of Prague just a few metres away from the Old Town Square and right next to the Týn Church (The Church of Mother of God in front of Týn).

They offer a wide range of decorative and utility glass and genuine Czech crystal. They also produce custom made crystal and glass according to the customer's requests along with package delivery and insurance services.

dumporcelanu.cz launched the sale of famous Czech Blue Onion porcelain in December 1995 in the newly renovated premises in Prague 2, Vinohrady, street Jugoslavska 567/16, close to Peace Square and Wenceslas Square. Since then, the company has undergone a tumultuous expansion.

The company currently offers virtually the entire Czech porcelain production from most domestic producers. The offered range has recently been complemented by fine porcelain significant Seltmann Weiden Bavarian manufacturer. They also offer popular products of German porcelain Goebel (Hummel figurines).

The most popular type of Jewellery in Prague is Czech garnets, also known as Bohemian garnets or Prague garnets, they are deep red Pyrope gemstones.

Czech garnet jewellery is traditionally characterised by many small garnets packed together so that the garnets cover the piece. In more modern jewellery pieces, solitary stones are often displayed in simple settings that highlight the colour and cut of the garnet.

One of the most popular stores that sell Czech garnet is Prague Garnet Center which is in the Old Town only 200 metres from the Old Town Square.

You probably have already heard that beer is cheaper than water in the Czech Republic. You might know as well that the most common type of beer, the pilsner, was “Invented” there. Below, you can find three of the most representative beer brands made in the Czech Republic. Do not miss the opportunity to try them all!

Pilsner Urquell - The brand that gives name to a whole beer family. Probably the most well-known Czech beer all over the world. Rather bitter, this golden-ish beverage is original from the city of Plzeň and can be found in every second pub you run into in the city of Prague.

 Kozel - This beer from Velké Popovice is the favourite of many Erasmus students in Prague. It is cheap and easy to find in any supermarket, but still of great quality. Definitely, it is one of the most famous beers inside the Czech Republic. Its dark variety is as well very well installed in the local society.

Lobkowicz - Named after the noble House of Lobkowitz, this beer is spread all over the country. You might find it as the default lager in many pubs. Fear not to try it, you will be surprised by this clear, sparkling marvel that gets onto your head without previous notice.

Prague nightlife From traditional beer halls with accordion players to sleek modern dance clubs, Prague nightlife is alive and kicking until the sun comes up, and what better way to see Charles Bridge then at sunrise (plus the world-famous bridge is virtually empty in the morning and quite stunning without hoards of tourists)?

The nightlife in Prague is an interesting mix of generations as well, if you seek the more traditional beer halls and pubs for your Prague nightlife experience, do not be surprised if you end up drinking with Grandfather Czech and do not be surprised when (not if) he drinks you under the table because he most certainly will!

After a night of fun, why not finish it off with a tasty fried cheese sandwich from a street vendor? Oh, and watch out for the Absinthe, it bites back. The nightlife in Prague is definitely worth your time.

Prague features some really great night clubs where you can dance all night long to house, techno all other types of dance music; proper indie club nights, however do not exist here if you are used to the British standard.

If an eighties night is what you seek, then there are definitely a few good clubs in Prague where you can sport your zebra leggings, blue eyeliner and big hair. Have a look at our recommended clubs in Prague listed below; Dance until the break of day and enjoy a night of Prague clubbing!

Here are a couple of suggestions…

Loca Bar & Lounge Smetanovo nábř. 203, 110 00 Staré Město Welcome to Loca Bar & Lounge – a great nightlife venue where there’s a party every single night. Loca Bar & Lounge offers the best of Prague nightlife; with its party atmosphere, great dance music, delicious cocktails and more, Loca is the place to be.

Situated in the center of Prague on the Smetanovo Nábřeží embankment, just steps from the famous Charles Bridge, Loca is conveniently reachable and is in the beating heart of Prague’s bar scene.

Cafe 80s V Kolkovně 909/6, 110 00 Staré Město, Does an 80s-inspired cafe and dance club sound like a perfect night out on the town to you? If so then head on over to Cafe 80s, where a good time will be had by all!

Located in Prague's Old Town, Cafe 80s is a fun place to spend your time reminiscing about the 80s culture of the West. Welcome to the days of MTV, acid jeans, fluorescent leg warmers, Polaroids, Walkman, eight-tracks, and more – that's Cafe 80s!

Beer Halls and Pubs If there is one thing Czechs do best, it is beer. It is quite obvious considering they are the highest beer consumers per capita in the world. With tons of traditional pubs and beer halls, there is plenty of the frothy liquid gold to go around. And the prices, oh the prices! In the wonderful city of Prague beer (pivo to locals) costs around a humble $1.50 a pint, simply amazing. It is quite possibly, the cheapest and best beer in the world.

U Vejvodu Beer Hall & Restaurant, Jilska 4, Old Town, Prague 1 This classic blue collar dive was given a dramatic makeover in the late nineties. Now, large swathes of refurbished copper adorn the bars and the grandiose main room opens up onto what was once a third-story ceiling.

The spacious room features rows of well-tended, comfy tables and booths nestled among alcoves and balconies and big screen TVs showing sporting events. Although it has more or less shed its working class origins, U Vejvodu manages to keep the Czech pub spirit.

U Medvidku Na Perštýně 345/5, 100 01 Staré Město U Medvidku, or At the Little Bears, is one of a dwindling number of classic Czech pubs operating in Old Town.

In a popular tourist destination such as Prague you often come across ‘Czech Pubs’ that are not at all traditional; U Medvidku is the complete opposite, you will be completely satisfied with U Medvidku’s traditional atmosphere, and the fact that Czechs still frequent this real-deal establishment is all the proof you need.

Beer Gardens The Czech Republic is famous for many things, castles, beautiful women, an incredibly difficult language to master, and of course, Beer! The liquid gold is best enjoyed outside with friends on a sunny day or a warm summer night, surrounded by locals and tourists alike.

The Czech capital has numerous restaurants with courtyards and outdoor dining, but if you want to experience an authentic, often curious episode, head to the beer gardens! You can munch on Czech sausage, try Czech beer and maybe even make a Czech friend or two!

Letenske beer garden Letenské sady, 170 00 Praha 7-Letná In a pretty park located in front of a Neo Renaissance Mansion and features absolutely stunning views of Prague. With inexpensive prices to match, Letenske beer garden is a good choice for a breezy summer evening or a sunny fall day.

Letenske beer garden attracts all types of people, chances are you will meet families with young children, students, expats, sporty people passing through on bike or rollerblades, professionals after work and people who love to party with a large beer in hand and of course, dogs!

Riegrovy Sady Beer Garden Riegrovy Sady, Vinohrady, Praha 2 Set in a lovely green park featuring winding paths, breathtaking views of Prague Castle, this is perhaps the best beer garden in Prague. I

t is the place to be on warm summer nights, but beware; the tables, and there are many of them, fill up quick. This is a good place to go and let loose, drink with your friends, meet new ones, watch sporting events on a large screen, or just relax.

With a very mixed crowd, including tourists, expats, locals, and business people, this beer garden is very popular with everyone. And it is plain to see why; the beer is tasty, cheap and flowing until the wee hours of the morning, people are laughing and the Czech sausage is always grilling and ready to eat!

Take a Walk on the Wild Side The venues listed in this section are not for everyone, but those looking for the rougher side of the Czech bar scene shouldn't miss these traditional establishments.

You might be disappointed about how westernised Prague looks nowadays and the fact that it is getting worse everyday. So you might perhaps ask yourself whether the old and authentic Prague has completely succumbed to the pressure of western chains, shopping centre and fake professional smiles. We believe that the answer to this is no.

These kind of bars definitely still exist but you should know that a foreigner might have a hard time in some of these venues since English is not so common in these bars, and what is more, perhaps slightly frowned upon. Also, before you enter, you should know a little bit about the pub culture in these establishments; first of all, none of these venues are non-smoking and aren't usually air-conditioned so you might end up sitting in a thick cloud of cigarette smoke. Secondly, the interaction with the waiters might depend on their mood, perhaps this sounds unprofessional to you, but can't it also be seen as direct and slightly liberating? Thirdly, if your first order is orange juice, don't be surprised if you are looked at strangely or perhaps advised to go to the nearest candy store instead. Lastly, don't be surprised if the waiter brings you a glass of beer without your ordering it - an empty or half empty glass of beer in front of you can be seen as a signal that you desire another one, at least in some pubs.

If this doesn't scare you, you should know that the venues listed in this section offer a chance to experience the real Prague and are an essentially Czech phenomenon. Also, if the locals accept you, you might end up making new friends and perhaps hearing some "unbelievable" Hrabalian pub stories in broken English.

U Zlateho Tygra Husova 17, Praha 1 If you wish to experience a traditional Czech pub in the heart of Prague, this is your one-stop shop for a traditional Czech pub with true unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell on tap.

This is one of the most centrally located authentic Czech pubs and should be a must on your list of things to see and do in the city of Prague. Be aware that this pub belongs to the locals, which means that the majority of the tables at the pub have reserved signs on them for these thirsty regulars, most of the staff do not – or will not – speak English, and the interior is extremely smoky.

If you visit the pub early, around 3 p.m. to be exact, you will be able to drink until the regulars pour in. It is easy to see why this pub is for locals, as it is said to pour the best beer that Prague has to offer. Besides serving the best beer in the world, the pub is also famous for being the favourite watering hole of former President Vaclav Havel. In fact it is at U Zlateho Tygra where former US President Bill Clinton met with Vaclav Havel and Bohumil Hrabel, a meeting that which would became a well-known photograph of the 3 intellectuals. I

f you want to experience a real Czech pub then U Zlateho Tygra is a perfect choice, where you will find a very smoky environment filled with locals drinking the best Pilsner in Prague on tap. Cheers!

Klub Újezd Újezd 18, Praha 1 This was one of the first post-Communist bars to pop up in the once depressed city of Prague and has been completely packed ever since. You will definitely have a great time at Klub Ujezd, that is, if you can find a table.

This multi-level bar is always hopping and the friendly bartenders keep the drinks flowing all night long to local clientele, usually in attendance with their loyal dogs, and young eager tourists alike.

Located across from the bottom of Petrin Hill and its creepy yet effective Memorial to the Victims of Communism, this alternative bar still feels alternative and has kept its unique and utterly cool atmosphere alongside its affordable prices in tack. Klub Ujezd is where it’s at on any night of the week and if you wish to encounter and even be-friend some Czech locale, then this is where it could happen. Since 2005 the walls of Klub Ujezd have doubled as a gallery where 8 to 10 exhibitions take place a year.
