So You Want to Visit Prague...

So you want to travel to Golden Prague in the Czech Republic. Great idea – I highly recommend it. Its a great city with lots to keep you busy. Full of old well crafted buildings, cobble stone paths, refreshing beer and friendly people.

Do You Want To Experience Prague Like A Local

If you have talked to your travel agency and browsed through the travel guide then the major tourist attractions have been mentioned: Charles Bridge, Old Town Square and Prague Castles. You have seen the classic panoramic picture which encompasses all three: the river, Charles Bridge and the Prague Castle on the hill. Searching around the Internet you have been bombarded with guided tours and hotels offers.

Most of the information you have received is from the perspective of a travel agency.

This Is A Guide To Prague By A Tourist Turned Local

After 27 years in Canada I needed a change. The plan was to stay in Prague for 1 year. I loved it so much that I decided to stay. I have now lived in Prague for over 5 years.

This website will present Prague from the perspective of a tourist turned resident. I will try to show you a side of Prague that you cannot find in guides and at agencies. Consider this website as your friend who lives in Prague, the guy that will show you what it is really like – show you where the locals go.

Of course you need to see the main tourist sites in Prague. The Charles Bridge, Old Town Square and National Museum. But what about the rest of your visit. Do you want to walk around amongst the hoards of tourists with camera's clicking. Or do you want to see the real Prague?

If you are interested in more then just the tourist's version of Prague then this site will help you:

  • Get you off the main street. Away from all the tourists.
  • Show you where the locals eat their meals.
  • Show you where the beer is 70% cheaper and colder.
  • How the Metro works, how the tram works. I have lived here for 5 years and never used a Taxi, why should you?
  • After you tire of old Castles and Churches what should you do?
  • What hotels in Prague would I stay in?
  • What do my friends and I do in the evenings?

I really hope that your travels lead you to Prague. Who knows, maybe like me you will come for a visit but end up staying a lot longer.

Who is this Prague Local?

Roman
My name is Roman and I want to help you experience the real Prague.

In 2006 I packed my bags and boarded a plane for Prague. The plan was to stay for a year - I am still here because I love this city. After of few years of living in Prague, learning the language and making a lot of friends I have progressed from a wide eyed tourist to a goulash eating local.

Prague is an amazing city with ancient buildings, friendly people and delicious food. That is why millions of people visit Prague every year. Unfortunately, most of them stick to the main tourists spots and miss experiencing the real Prague.

This website was created with the hope that besides visiting the Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, you will venture down a cobble stoned alley and join the locals for a golden beer and a hardy bowl of goulash.
