You Want to Travel to Prague (Praha) Czech Republic...

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.

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. You have read about the standard tips: where to exchange your money and to wear a fanny pack. 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. Someone trying to sell you something.

Not Your Standard Prague Travel Guide

After 27 years in Canada I was in need of 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 3 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 Prague Castle. 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 3 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.

And while you are here, instead of staying in a typical hotel room, get a taste of real Czech life by staying at a serviced apartment in Prague.  They are an excellent value and feel more like a home then a hotel.
