The overview

Prague's fairytale charm easily captivates for a short city break. Its remarkably preserved Old Town, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle complex offer an unparalleled immersion into centuries of history, all within walkable distances. Experience the vibrant atmosphere of the Jewish Quarter, discover the striking art nouveau architecture, and enjoy affordable, hearty Czech cuisine and world-class beer. Consider basing yourself in Old Town for immediate access to major sights, or in the Vinohrady district for a more local feel with excellent tram connections and a burgeoning cafe scene. An insider tip: while many attractions have timed entry, purchasing tickets online in advance through official venue websites can often save you time, and sometimes a few Koruna, compared to buying on the day.

Prague, Czech Republic — frequently asked questions

Is English widely spoken in Prague?

+
English is widely understood in Prague, especially in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. Many younger Czechs and those working in tourism speak English fluently. While it's polite to learn a few basic Czech phrases, you should have no significant communication issues using English throughout the city.

Can you drink the tap water in Prague?

+
Yes, tap water in Prague is safe to drink. It undergoes regular quality checks and meets strict European Union standards. You can confidently refill your water bottle from any tap in your accommodation or public fountains to stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste.

What is the currency in Prague and do they accept Euros?

+
The official currency in Prague is the Czech Koruna (CZK). While some tourist establishments might accept Euros, it's not guaranteed, and you'll likely receive a poor exchange rate. It is best to use Czech Koruna for most transactions. You can exchange money at banks or reputable exchange offices.

Is Prague safe at night?

+
Prague is generally considered a very safe city, even at night. Violent crime is rare. However, like any major city, petty theft such as pickpocketing can occur, particularly in crowded tourist spots like Old Town Square and Charles Bridge. Be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure.

What's the best area to stay in Prague?

+
For first-time visitors, staying in Prague 1 (Old Town, Malá Strana, Hradčany) offers proximity to major attractions. For a more local feel with good transport links, consider Prague 2 (Vinohrady, Vyšehrad) or Prague 7 (Holešovice), which have vibrant cafe cultures and are less crowded.

How do I get around Prague?

+
Prague has an excellent and affordable public transport system, including trams, metro, and buses. You can purchase tickets at stations, newsstands, or via the official PID Lítačka app. Consider a multi-day pass for convenience. Walking is also a great way to explore the historic center.
