Welcome to Prague

A favourite for decades among both backpackers and students alike, Prague is remains one of the best cities to visit on a budget. Food, beer and wine are all very cheap. With a wide range of affordable student accommodation as well as cheap hostels on offer, you’re more or less guaranteed a budget-friendly stay in Prague, whether it's for studying or just on holiday. If you stay in Prague, you’ll likely do plenty of walking around the castles, historic buildings, art galleries and shops in ‘Stare Mesto’ (the Old Town). If you’re heading to a downtown hostel or student accommodation in ‘Nove Mesto’ (the New Town), be sure to pack some going out clothes, because Prague loves to party!

John Lennon Wall

Locayted inVelkopřevorské Square, the John Lennon wall is full of John Lennon-inspired graffiti andlyrics from Beatles' songs, as well as art related to local and global events. Beatles fans should not miss this!

Kinsky Garden

You can spend a very happy afternoon wandering this landscaped park in the shadow of Petrin Hill. It isn’t just trees and lawns – follow the zig-zagging paths to discover wooden churches, hidden pools, statues and waterfalls. The Kinsky Summer Palace in the south of the park contains the Czech National Museum.

Vltava River Walk

Prague is a river city, and many hostels and student accommodations are within striking distance of the beautiful Vlatava. Take a stroll through the city centre along the riverbanks, and enjoy great views of the Old and New Towns, the Lesser Town and Prague Castle – not to mention those elegant bridges.

Church of Our Lady before Tyn

With its 260-ft-high Gothic towers, one of the best-known attractions in Prague is the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, in the Old Town Square. The Tyn Church towers allegedly were the inspiration for the castle in Sleeping Beauty, although this has not been confirmed as fact. What is confirmed is that the organ at Tyn Church is the oldest organ in Prague! The church hosts regularRoman Catholic church services, and also has been known to host opera concerts.

Old Town and New Town

Prague 1 is where most of the tourist attractions, including landmarks, bars and restaurants are – a hotspot for backpackers and luxury travellers alike. The Old Town and New Town areas are particularly touristy and generally more expensive than other areas. The New Town is livelier, and includes both Wenceslas Square and Republic Square.

Lesser Town and Prague Castle

The Lesser Town and Prague Castle areas are the more historical and quieter districts of Prague 1, with fewer bars (but still plenty of hostels and places to stay). On the other end of Charles Bridge from Old Town Square lies the Malá Strana or Lesser Town district, with Baroque architecture such as St. Nicholas Church and Wallenstein Palace dominate.

Czech Beer Festival

Although Czech beer has been popular for ages, it’s only since 2007 that the people have had a festival to celebrate the good stuff. Fill your boots on over 70 different beers over a fortnight in May, with live bands and other entertainment thrown in. For obvious reasons, there was not a festival in 2020 or 2021, but it may return in the future. The festival costs CZK100.

Pick Up a 24-hour Travel Pass

If you’re going to be travelling a lot, buying a 24 hour travel pass is a good idea becuase it can work out to be more economical than buying singles. This is because an adult pass costs 110 CZK for a day, and 310 CZK for three days. And if you do buy singles, remember they’re cheaper at the yellow machines than they are from a bus driver.
