Why visit Prague?
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Prague has much to offer and it is no coincidence that thousands of tourists flock to its streets every year.
It is a romantic and enchanting city that, with its towers and the medieval atmosphere that pervades it, allows tourists to live in a fairy tale.
Whatever your idea of tourism, know that Prague is a very mysterious place, where several alchemists lived and where magic and legend always hold sway.
So don’t forget to read up on this aspect of Prague culture-you will appreciate even more what you see around the capital.
What to see in Prague
In Prague you really are spoiled for choice! Around here you can plan mostly cultural vacations.
Art, music and history make up the dominant element of the city. You can wander the streets of beautiful medieval villages, admire ancient Gothic and Baroque buildings or the more modern Art Nouveau and contemporary structures.
If I had to mention what are the most important things to see in Prague, obviously in the first places would enter the Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, the Old Town, St. Vitus Cathedral and the Astronomical Clock.
The part concerning food and wine tourism is also interesting, and there is no shortage of fairs, festivals, events, pubs, discos, and nightlife.
Tourism in and around Prague
Prague is art, history, culture but also the greenness of its parks. Kampa Island, on the west bank of the Vltava River, is known as Prague’s Venice. It is here that Prague residents find an oasis of serenity to escape from the city bustle.
How to get to Prague
Whatever means you decide to take to get to Prague, you will find useful tips in the following articles before you embark on your journey.
You can choose to arrive by plane, train, car and bus.
In the first case, leaving from Italy, it will take you 1.30 to 3 hours to get to your destination.
Wanting to travel by car, on the other hand, clearly the time to make the trip will depend on the starting point.
Consider that starting from Naples will take about 14 hours, 8 hours from Venice will be enough.
Traveling by train or bus, travel times are very similar.
Where to sleep in Prague
The three areas where most of Prague’s hotels and apartments are concentrated are the Old Town, the New Town, and the Little Quarter.
If you are looking for inexpensive accommodation and you are a lover of nightlife, I suggest you look for it in the New Town. This is where most of the clubs are and you will not be far from the Old Town, which you can easily reach by public transportation.
If price is not an issue and you want to stay in the heart of Prague near the most important sights then the choice is obviously in the Old Town. For those looking for an exclusive area the best and most expensive hotels are those located in the Castle area, in the Lesser Quarter.
