Where to stay in Prague — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks
Prague is the City of a Hundred Spires — a fairy-tale Czech capital where Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance facades line the Vltava River. Cross the statue-lined Charles Bridge to the world's largest castle, watch the 600-year-old Astronomical Clock chime over the UNESCO-listed Old Town Square, and discover why Prague is one of Europe's most walkable, best-value cities — with the world's best beer on tap.
Why stay in Prague
UNESCO old town
Prague's historic core is a World Heritage Site — Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance landmarks all within one walkable centre.
Made for walking
The main districts sit side by side along the river — stroll across Charles Bridge straight up to the castle, no transit needed.
A beer-lover's heaven
Birthplace of the Pilsner. Fresh Czech lager flows all day and often costs less than bottled water.
Better value than the West
Hotels, food and attractions are far gentler on the wallet than Paris or Vienna.

Which area is best to stay in Prague for first-timers?+
Old Town (Staré Město) is the most convenient — you can walk everywhere — but it's crowded and pricier. For a quieter, romantic feel choose Malá Strana, while Vinohrady offers the best value and a more local vibe.
How many days do you need in Prague?+
Three days is ideal for the Old Town, castle, Charles Bridge and Jewish Quarter. Add a day or two if you want a side trip to Český Krumlov or Kutná Hora.
What currency does Prague use — can I pay in euros?+
The Czech Republic uses the koruna (CZK), not the euro. Some tourist spots accept euros at poor rates, so it's best to pay by card or withdraw CZK, which is accepted almost everywhere.
