Have you ideas about how to meet locals?

Can anyone recommend a good car and driver/guide to take day trips out of Prague? We are 4 adults traveling at the end of August.

Which is the best place near to Prague for an all day excursion??

Which one is the best black light theatre???

Hot air balloon? City tour? In such a short amount of time, what should we do or visit?

I have a full extra day in Prague and I'm trying to decide which castles to go visit. I will have a car. The ones that have gotten my attention are:
- Karlstejn
- Kriviklat
- Kokorin
- Konopiste

I think I can probably get two of these done in my extra day. But they all look beautiful.

Any particular recommendation on which ones to see?

thanks!

Hi, my name is Francesco and I am an italian boy. Next summer I am going to Prague with my girlfriend. We had never stayed there and I'd like say that we should visit. We'll stay ther since 8 august to 13. Five days are enough to visit Prague quietly?
P.S. I'm sorry for my english, but I haven't study it for six years

ok - so here is "one of those questions". I have previously traveled to Prague from Munich via Nuremberg during the summer, and found very few people traveling in the train. The Nuremberg station (possibly not a main station as it was small) - had some rough teenagers hanging around.

We will be in Germany this December and was looking at taking a side trip to Prague - but have no idea what is the situation taking a train from Dresden - as I'd rather not go thru Nuremberg. I noticed most connections in the Die Bahn site went thru Nuremberg - unless we went to Dresden first.

Anyhow - what can we expect in the journey from Dresden to Prague as far as safety?

Also - is there a reliable ATM in the train station as we'll only have Euros.

Thaks!

What is the best type of accomodations for Prague, hotel or apartment? Which would give me the best price? I'm thinking Old Town.

Thank you,

This may seem like a strange request, but every new city that I go to I try to find an accessible rooftop that I can get on to and get some great pics from high up. I know that Prague has a couple of official options for attractions with a view, but can anyone give me clues on where I might be able to get an unofficial view of the city from a rooftop??

I would also be interested in recommendations on where to go to get the best city-scape views!

Having just returned from Prague after 5 visits I could not help notice how quiet it is, Charles Bridge 4- 6 stalls, no music, Restaurants empty, bars quite, or is it the time of year, are tourists moving on to newer destinations, or are the prices catching up with everything. what do the locals think!!!

Is it worth to buy it?

Hi all, Three girlfriends and I are visiting Prague next Saturday and while we think we have the usual sights covered as part of our 4 day itinerary, thanks to all of you who have posted tips on VT, we wondered if anyone can tell us if there are any pleasant casinos we might visit. We're all travelling light, so we won't have any swanky clothes, but thought it might be fun to try our luck if there is somewhere which will let us in wearing casual clothes, but at the same time isn't too down at heel. We're staying near Wenceslas Square. Thanks in advance for any help you can give :)

I am planning a vacation in Prague next year. How many days is enough there? I was thinking 3 nights and 4 days. Is this enough time to explore all the wonderful areas, landmarks, etc.? Thanks.

Can anyone please confirm a company or rental firm in Prague where candelabras can be hired and candles etc rented/purchased wholesale? We have the assistance of a wedding planner for our wedding, for which the items are required, but the quote she has given for decorating the venue with a few candles and a few candelabras for the reception seems crazy high, even by comparison to UK prices. Thanks

My husband and I plan to take my elderly parents to Prague and Budapest. For transportation, my husband and I usually take the train all over Europe. However, with elderly parents, we may need another mode of transportation to get to various Cities. #1. Any advice on best way to go between Cities? #2. Is it easy to get around with buses and taxis once we are in Prague? (And Budapest) #3. What other towns we should visit in the area? We like scenery. Thanks for any advise!!

Dear all, I check the internet and I found some contradictory information. Please advise: 1. From what bus station you can take the bus to Karlovy Vary? Is it Florenc? Any site where I can find time table? 2. From what bus station you can take the bus to Konopiste Castle? Is it Florenc or a station near Roztyly metro station? Any site where I can find time table? 3. From what station you can take the train to Karlstejn Castle? Is it Hlavni nadrazi (main train station) or another one near Smichovske nadrazi. Any site where I can find time table? Thank you so much for your help, Carmen

Hi, I'd like to know which is the best area (near attractions, night life, etc) to stay. Thanks

Good evening! I will go with my students (age 17 or older) to Prague in September and would be very pleased, if someone could recommend some "witty" places, cafes ..., which make Prague unique and you can´t find in common guidebooks. Thanks for your help! You can make young people quite happy.

Good evening! I have a question to residents of Prague. What is the weather like today? I'm talking about real weather not about numbers in weather forecast. Is it hot or cold, windy or not, rainy or sunny? I'll arive in Prague on 24 August and will go back on. So I want to know what clothes I need to take with me :)

I'm looking for information on walking tours of Prague. If anyone has information, please share. Thanks!
