Prague City Guide Information & City Overview

Under each of the headings below is a brief overview of the information available in this Prague City Guide. For more detaied information under these headings please follow the links at the very top of this page.

Prague Accommodation

A look at the wide range of accommodation available in prague which frankly ‘shames’ some of the accommodation in other western european cities in price and standards.

Prague Quality Apartments

Prague has a large stock of apartment accommodation which can be rented on a short or long term basis. Though it is difficult to single the best of the best these apartments are worthy of consideration due to their high standards and prime central locations.

Prague Airport

Information on the city’s only airport which may in part account for it’s exceptional; efficiency – it is, with out a doubt, also one of the safest airports in Europe to take off from with first class security.

Prague Attractions & Sights

One of Prague’s greatest qualities is that the central areas of the city ( the lesser town and the old town) are so aesthetically attractive to wander around. The architecture through out the city is exceptional and contributes to the city’s great ambience. The city’s leading attractions featured on this page are all worth a second glance and viewing them won’t cost anything. The page also summarises some of the other main attractions in Prague which are worth visiting – especially if the weather is not clever. Where admission charges are applicable they are not expensive and compared with cities like London and Paris they are ridiculously cheap.

Prague Clubs Nightlife

Arguably this city is the best clubbing city in Europe (though Belgrade is a very close second) and the ad,admission prices and the drink prices are substantially cheaper than most European capital cities – thus it is not necessary to go to a bar before clubbing here.>

Prague Crime


Because of the city’s sustained popularity amongst tourist over the last two decades there is petty crime aimed at tourists in certain areas. Pick pockets etc can be a problem, especially in the summer but violent incidents are rare and there is an English police station

Prague Football Teams

 
They really love their football here even though the two main teams in Prague are not prominent in the European UEFA Europa leagues.

Prague History & 1968 Soviet Invasion


This city because of it’s outstanding architecture was allegedly spared from a fate of destruction by Hitler during WW2. At the height of the ‘cold war’ in 1968 a liberal communist government challenged the authority of post war communism dictatorsjip by USSR and the city was again occupied by soviet forces – something many of us will not forget.

Jan Palach – Life Death & Funeral


An account of the life of a Czech student who was so traumatized by the Soviet occupation in 1968 that as a protest he set light to himself in Wenceslas Square

Prague Public Transport

Buses trams and metro’s networks that are integrated and dependable irrespective of the weather and cost a tenth of the price of cities like London. Mayor of London please note.

Prague Terrorism

Prague like it’s airport is not a place that terrorists would feel comfortable in and the Czech security services are unlikely to allow things to change.

Prague Tourist Traps

Well most cities have them but they are not in abundance here
