Prague Travel Forum

I'm in Prague for 3 days next week. I want to see as many sights as poss. I'm staying in the Old Town. Can I see the sights on foot or should I get a travel pass? Is the 3 day travel pass a good idea? Will it get me from the airport into town? Thanks for any advice!

Do I need Koruna or Euro for restaurants/shops etc in Prague? Thanks : )

hi, me and my wife are planning a backpacking trip next month, one of our destination is prague. we plan to reach prague from munich. can some body help me to know which is the cheapest way to reach barcelona from prague, or should i go to munich to fly to prague. here in india im not able to find the right travel agent who can book this sector.
also i find the rates of airfare from munich or prague to barcelona is (215euros one way for 2 pax) almost half the price of the airfare im paying for a trip from india.
is it that expensive? or is there another cheaper option.

what sort of weather would one expect in mid september in Prague ?

Dear friends,

I hope to be in Prague in October.
I checked D-Bahn Site, but the prices seem quite expensive for me.

Please give me hints about cheap ways for the following 2 routes:
1) Prague-Dresden-Prague
2) Prague-Karlovy Vary-Prague

I am looking forward to hear from you.

Thank you.

Best regards

I am from Greece and I would like to visit Prague for my summer vacation. By the fact that I will be alone (I am a single man 32 years old) , I would like to find out, which outings in Prague will be suitable for a single male. At least I want to have fun and enjoy my vacation and be surrounded by some attractive girls!

I am open for any thing.... such as: restaurants, pubs discos, pool bars, beach parties, night clubs, live music, dating, parties, swimming, chatting, love boat parties, school parties etc.... hopefully I will find the woman of my life!!!!!!

Thanks and I am awaiting........

Thinking of staying in the above hostel. Does anyone have any feedback about it? Is it in a good area?

Am planning a 3 night city break to Prague in August. However, I'm a bit worried about it being infamous for stag do's/groups of drunken English men! IS this still the case or could we enjoy dinner and drinks out in the evenings?
Thanks for any advice : )

it's my understanding the charles bridge is under renovations---just wanted to make sure people can still walk on it?

Hello everybody,
How many months in advance can I buy the cheap fare from Prague to Budapest one way.Can I buy the ticket online from eshop,or it would be possible to buy in Prague.I will be travelling from Prague to Budapest on the 18th November.
All replies would be welcomed.
Many thanks,

I'll be visiting Prague in late August and am wondering what section of the city I seek accommodation. I'm interested in shopping, night life, restaurants, etc. Perhaps a gay bar (or two). Would you recommend Old Town?

Need to advise a friend a youth hostel / cheap hotel in/near old town, (Budget around 10-20 euros/night for a hostel) he's leaving after 2 days to Prague, any tips? thnx.

just wondering if there were any specific places in prague celebrating oktoberfest. thanks.

I like to get a little bit of foreign currency at home before I go anywhere, incase I need something right when I arrive and/or am not able to get to an ATM right away. What's a good amount of cash to bring? And, what is ATM availability like in Prague? If there aren't that many, then I'll have to bring more cash. I need to order it form my bank right away. Thanks.

tried to use the ww.bahn.de site, and it would not show me fares, saying that they were not available for me to view. could this be because my current location is the us? i can always use www.raileurope.com, which is usa based website, but their prices are high, high, high! my plan is to buy tickets to prague as soon as i arrive in berlin...so i can get at least the 3 day advance purchase. does anyone know, is the pricing structure of the trains similar to that of the airlines? are the discounted seats capacity controlled or can you get a 3-day advance purchase even if there are only a few seats on the plane? in other words, does the train company limit the amount of seats that are sold with a discount? thanks for any help, susan

I want to travel there by Coach or Train
Can anyone help with availabilty and price of journey.
cheers.

hello, leaving in 2 days for berlin (and thanks to all who answered all the forum questions regarding berlin-prague train travel, so that's one question i don't need to ask), anyway leaving for berlin, three nites there to recuperate (coming from usa), then on to prague for 4 nites. want to get my hotel/hostel squared away before departure. FINALLY, here's my question. looking at cloister or charles hotel near charles bridge OR a couple of different choices on wendelas (sorry about the spelling) square. which area would be a better choice for a first-timer to berlin? able to find pretty good last-minute rates, but need to book quickly! thanks, susan

We are looking for transportation from Nuremberg to Prague for four people with 10 pieces of luggage in August. Any suggestions?

Hello! I'd like to know, how can I reach hotel Arbes from Ruzyne airport, if not to take a taxi. Thank you!

I will be in Prague from Sept. 2-7 and I was hoping to catch some Czech League hockey action. I think it may be too early for the season, but I thought there may be some pre-season games or a pre-season tournament. Can anyone tell me if there is anything like that going on during those dates? The league's website is hard to navigate in English and I'm not sure if they would post the pre-season dates anyway.
Thanks!

How can I travel by train from Zagreb to Prague on August 04, 2009?

I would like to use ATM machine during my trip to Czech, Hungary and Romania. I have asked the card issue bank about the charge. It's minimal. But I am worrying about the exchange rate. The card issue bank told me that the exchange rate is set by the ATM machine bank. I have the following questions:-

Are the exchange rates of the ATM machines resonable for the captioned countries.

Besides that, are there any other charges?

Is it the same rate as I take Euro to the bank and change it to local currency?

Thanks for your help! Thanks again for your help!

Hi, I will visit prague in the coming Saturday. Once I arrived at the Prague airport (I think it will be Terminal 2, since I will change my flight in Paris) I need to change some local currency. I found that there are some exchange offices and only 1 bank there. Should I go to the bank to do that in order to have a low commission or a better rate? What about in town, should I exchange my money in banks? Are they open on Saturdays? Thanks a lot for your help!
