I will be in Prague for three days and then have to head to Dusseldorf on the 5th day. I thought of spending Day 4 in some place in between the two.

Any suggestions?

Hello there!
We are going to vizit Prague in August. Four years ago, i was at Hostel C Prague, which is situated in Praha 1, the address is: Kremencova, 15, praha 1, 110 00, next to "U fleku"
The problem is, that i can not find the web address of the hostel to make a reservation:(! I've tried, i've tried, but nothing!
Please, if you can help me with some info about it!
Thank you in advance!:)

I'm curious about the big sculpture presenting a skull on top of a crouching man situated next to Daliborka Tower on the Castle hill in Prague. I'd appreciate any info about it or links to web pages where I could read more. Thanks.

Where are the hot spots in Prague?
Where can I go to be amongst beautiful and fun young crowd with good music?

Hi,

We are visiting Prague from Dresden for 2 days.

Are there organized trips for a day or hop on-off buses to see the main attractions?

My daughter is allergic to peanut, cashew and pistachio. How familiar are restaurants staff about allergies? We are vegans and plan to have simple pasta or sandwich.

Is Soy milk available in supermarkets?

What is a good place to buy good wooden toys and local crafts?

I will be in Prague for a few days and have to go to Dusseldorf. As I've been to much of mid/southern Germany, I thought it might be nice to go to Berlin for a day. Is this doable/logical?

If so, what is the best way to get from Prague to Berlin & how long does it take?

Hello all.
I'm planning to go from Cesky Krumlov to Plzen to break up the route to Karlovy Vary.
Just wondering how much time is enough in Plzen? I was thinking about taking in the brewery while i was there. It would be foolish not to i think :)
So, if you can advise, i'm thinking one night myself at the moment and then leaving but if anyone can recommend a reason why to stay for maybe 2 nights then i would be interested to hear it :)
Thanks

looking for the best place to stay in czesky raj will stay there for about 3 days before we drive into poland.

Now that we have to pack all cosmetics, hand lotions, shampoo, etc. to go in the checked baggage, I have a problem with the bottles and tubes leaking out all over everything. I put them all in ziplock baggies, but some of my expensive moisturizers, etc. are all over the inside of the baggie and it is a loss of money too.
Has anyone found a good way to pack these items? Will be traveling for 3 months to various countries in east and west Europe.

Does passport control ask for proof of insurance? Is there a "standarized"
card indicating amount and type of insurance required.

Thank you

Hello all
I'm wondering about low budget airlines between Budapest and Czech Republic. Prague is not on the menu.
I'm planning to visit Karlovy Vary, Telc, Olomouc and Cesky Krumlov. What sort of times by train are we talking about between these places? Since Karlovy Vary is clearly far off the track compared to the other places...
Brno is also an option for a visit.
I'm giving myself a week to see these places. Is that too short? The train from Budapest to Brno/Olomouc is also an option.
So, decisions decisions :)
Any advice is much appreciated but i'm very keen on these 4 places.
Thanks everyone :)

Hi,

Is it not possible to book online a ticket from Prague to budapest on www.bahn.de.

I have registered all of my information, however, I cannot get past the search screen to actually book the ticket. Either the my ticket cannot be booked online or I am missing something.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I posted earlier about splitting time between Prague & Budapest. I am thinking of doing 4 days in PRG, then a day or two in Cesky Krumlov, then a day in Bratislava and the last 4 in BUD. Is it better to take a train or bus from town to town? Is one easier and/or cheaper than the other? How far is it between CK and Bratislava? Is it possible to travel fairly early in the morning, see the castle and a little more in Bratislava and continue on to BUD the same day to arrive in the evening? If you have been to all 4 towns can you suggest how to split 11 days (12 counting the day I fly out) among them? Thanks.

Hi

I was wondering where would be the best place to watch Rangers in the UEFA cup final this Wednesday. I am not a Rangers supporter but will most probably be cheering them on anyway as they are the sole British representatives. Are there any Scottish bars in Prague? I would guess that an Irish bar would probably not be the most salubrious venue for this?

Regards
Gary.

This is not the typical "in prague for 2 days, where to stay". I've tried Craigslist and gotten scam emails and apartment searches online only found expensive places for wealthy expats it seems...

There are 3-4 of us, Medical students, working at a hospital in Prague for the month of July. We need a place somewhat near (how 'near' is up for debate) central Praha, at least convenient to a Metro stop. I'd like washer and dryer, other than that, amenities can be basic.

I thought I'd post here, see if anyone has a place to offer, or knows of a friend, or sublet, or something!
Y'all can post here I suppose, although emailing 'carsam (at) sgu (dot) com' would be preferable.

All the best,

SB

Hi!

I'm going to be in Prague for a few weeks soon. At the weekend I'm planning to visit Amsterdam. As far I understand a round flight to Ams and back to Prague will cost about 200 USD. Can a save money by traveling by train? or it will be just a slight economy? Please, advise me. Thanks in advance!

Hi all!!!

I will be going from Vienna to Prague. I hope to break my journey at Cesky Krumlov. Should one spend a day here and then proceed to Prague on the same day? or stay over and then go ahead? And if one does stay only ffor a day, what all can one do?

Looking forward to your responses!

Thanks a tonne!

Hey all!

I will be coming to Prague for a day. Looking at hostels for accomodations. Anyone know of any hostel next to Wencleslas Square? And how it is? Also how is the Youth Hostel? Is it close to the Square? is there any way to make a reservation without use of credit cards?

Looking forward t your responses...

Thanks a tonne!

I know this question has been asked tons but there is too much info too look through. I will be in Prague for about two nights. Never been and not super keen on touristy areas but I am a tourist myself :)

Any, hotels of good value in a recommended area (not too expensive!)? Possibly near some decent nightlife (pubs/bars but not all night clubs) and also transit? I will be taking the train from prague to budapest after two or three days.

A few recommendations would help.

Hello VT Friends,

I am planning a trip to Prague (2-3 days) I want to go to Prague from Amsterdam, but Ryanair nor Transavia flight from Amsterdam to Prague.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME AND LET ME KNOW OF A LOW BUDGET AIRLINE THAT FLIGHTS FROM AMSTERDAM TO PRAGUE??? OR ANY OTHER OPTION.

Also, can you hel me with any recommendation on a Bed&Breakfast or Good Hostel in Prague (good location)

Thanks all for your help, and spending time helping.

I am considering booking this hotel for 3 nights in December for our visit to Prague and the Christmas market. Trip Advisor rates it highly. Does anyone know this hotel ? It is situated by the Charles Bridge in Mala Strana. Is this is convenient location for walking to the main sites ?

Hello, we are visiting Prague in September. We will spend 4 days in the country, and we are travelling by car. We thought we might have time to visit at least 1 more place other than only Prague as we think 3 days should be enough to visit Prague (please, correct us if we are wrong!). So as we don't know much about the country we're looking for suggestions on what other places we shouldn't miss. We're more into beautiful landscapes than monuments and museums but suggestions on whatever's worth seing, monument or not, will be welcome :)
Many thanks for your help!

I know they are sister hotels and located within what appears to be a few blocks from each other. While both have the same rates and ammenities, is one more preferable? The Claris seems to have been recently renovated.
Does anybody have any feedback on these hotels? Trip advisor has given both good reviews.

Thanks,
Beamish

Hello. I'm going to Prague for 5-6 days in the beginning of june.
Do many shops and restaurants accept credit cards and is it safe? I'm afraid of getting ripped. (I have both Visa and Mastercard)

I've used creditcards in both London and with no problems.

I also have another question: How well do the czech (the ones from Prague) speak english or german?

I'll be traveling to Prague June 14-21, and I'm looking for some recommendations on tours and such.

1. Are there any tours I shouldn't miss?
2. Are there any tickets (to anything) I should book in advance?

Thanks!
