Prague Travel Forum

We are visiting Prague arriving Wednesday the first of July. We are a husband wife couple and we would appreciate a local person or couple taking the time to show us around--we could take you out to lunch or for drinks. Thanks! :)

My friend and I are looking for a mid price hostel (US$20.oo - US$40.oo per person) and found these above at Lonely Planet and would like to hear any good / bad words about them. Or if you can suggest anything else we are open as well.
Tks

I leave tomorrow and I am starting to panic a bit. I had to book my flight 4 days in advance for a spur of the moment trip... I land in Prague on Sunday and need to leave for Vienna on Tuesday. I will buy my train ticket the day I land or the day before, but I'm not sure what station services Vienna. Is there a station that is central?

Also - I will be there alone :( I am 26 year old male and will be bored. If anyone knows great places to find people who speak some English, let me know, I really hope to meet some people :) I guess the best place to do that is my hostel for obvious reasons...

Anyway, thanks for any help you can give!!

Hi

My daughter is going to Prague for a week in August and is looking at day trips that are easy to get to. So far she has identified Plzen and Karlovy Vary as two places she would like to see. Can anyone recommend anywhere else about an hour - two hours from Prague?

Thanks

I plan to visit Prague for the first time next year. Please tell me what the weather is like in the latter part of March. Thanks.

What is the best cell to get? For calls between US and Prague.

Hello,

I'll be traveling from Prague to Zurich this August (overnight train), should i make a reservation early? and where can i make the booking online or maybe by phone? or i can just buy at the Prague train station few days earlier?

Thanks

Hi all!

I would be heading to Prague in late june and was intending to take a day trip outta prague. I've heard so much nice things about Kutná Hora and Cesky that i'm in 2 minds over which to go. Any one's able to give suggestions as to which is more worthwile to go? Read about the bone church in Kutná Hora but also alot of great stuff in Kutná Hora.

THanks!!!!

i'd like to rent a car and travel down to Croatia for a week. any suggestions of a good, cheap rental car company to use here in Prague? seems to rent a car here is pricey :(

Hi folks! I will be in Prague next week (probably arriving some time on Sunday evening) - it would be great if anyone would like to meet for a chat, beer, coffee (or that delicious soup served in a loaf of bread... mmm...)

Also while I am there a colleague will be joining me and we will probably take a trip out of town (quite far, probably to the nearest high mountain :) - if anyone (anyone at all!) would like to join us/knows a good place & can advise... please do! :)))

Mountain roads with stunning scenery and nice places to stop for a barbecue?

Hello,

I wanted to book this hotel for our week stay in mid (june 22-26th). I wanted to see what everyone thought about the neighborhood, and if anyone had any specific experience with this hotel.

Is it a trendy “cool” part of town? We’re a couple of guys (24) on a backpacking trip thru Europe, so we want to have as much fun as possible.

Hello!

I would like to travel next Friday taking the 18:29 train from Hlavni Nadrazi to Berlin. I have been researching a lot and having confusing and sometimes contradictory information. Questions:

1) How much do you think such ticket would cost?
2) Cheaper if bought as roundtrip?
3) Cheaper if bought with a few days notice? I read 3 days will mean saving 50% but I think this is a strange thing. Anyway... I don't have 3 days anymore.

Hi vT members!
can anyone tell me what will be the price (round), from the airport, to the Praha 1 district?
thanks in advance

Hi

I'm thinking of meeting up with a friend who will be in Prague as part of his Eastern Europe travels during July.

Looking for flights, I can only find a connection direct from Madrid for 60€ (wizzair.com), though would prefer to fly from Barcelona (as I will be just leaving a festival there at the time).

Any ideas? And is that price from Madrid reasonable? I've never used wizzair before and don't know what to expect from them.

Also, of the 2 different airports, are either of them particularly far from the centre of things? Just to get an idea of my travel costs and times etc. since I'll only be there for 2 days.

Oh, and cheap hostel prices... have tried to get an idea from other threads but can't find a figure. any guidelines? cheap (and probably central) is the most important factor.

Any tips are welcome, thanks.

Hi,

We are flying on Wizz air from Brussels to Prague

I'm trying to give the hotel taxi the pickup instructions, however not able to find the airport name. The tickets do not have the info, Wizz air website dosen't have so need your help.

The Prague air port website dosen't have Wizz listed, under airlines

I am Canadian and one of our iconic music legands is Neil Young and whose more famous song is "Heart of Gold". I was wandering around Prague and heard the unmistakeable guitar chords for this song and it was being played out of a speaker on a sidewalk, but it was being sung in Czech. Would any of my Czech friends know who the singer would have been and where I could get a copy of this version as it was quite good.

what will be the weather like in prague in august? and how precisely can i get from prague to kutna hora and exactly to the bone church

Can anyone tell me how long it will take to get from Prague to Vienna? Will be traveling in early June. We are advised to buy tickets at the station. Is high speed available for that route?
Thanks!

We will be in Prague for three nights at the end of May. Could you share some names of your favorite restaurants? We will be staying at the Golden Well and are really excited about going to Prague.

Thanks in advance. Jan
