Exploring Prague: Best Things to Do in the Czech Capital, Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic or Czechia.

Prague is exceptionally beautiful and is well known for its fairy tale appearance. People call it ‘the city of a thousand spires’.

Prague is a wonderful city to visit. Learn about its fascinating history, gaze at the beautiful architecture and enjoy Czech cuisine and beer.

It also has a party culture and diverse night life with a great range of clubs to suit all music tastes. For more information about Prague’s clubbing scene, see: bestclubsprague.com

Prague used to be a very cheap place to visit, although prices are no longer jaw droppingly low. They have risen a lot over the years, but it is still reasonably priced compared to other European capital cities.

Prague has accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes from hostels to 5*hotels. My daughters recently stayed in a hostel called Plus Prague, which cost only £85 pp for 5 nights. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
