Old Town was just fabulous. Although it was VERY busy, Old Town is large enough that we never felt overly crowded. There are plenty of side streets and alleys to explore if you want to break away from the crowd!

Even the churches offer great viewing and lovely entertainment with concerts from string quartets and choral music. You can see a different concert every evening if you like and the performance of Don Giovanni at the Marionette theatre... More

I adored Prague. The architecture is amazing, and there are lots of quirky surprises. There's so much to see and do - it feels like there's always something happening. Wandering through the streets in the Old Town is a great way to see Prague. There's a great atmosphere around and wherever you look, there's something interesting to see. It's like... More

I liked that a lot of free tours start at this location. Food is in abundance. Underground tour is right there as well. Take the Tower tour for a 360 degree view.

This city is absolutely breath taking. We ate and drank at several nice restaurants. The best however are the little stands. I had a sausage link and my wife had "old prauge ham". Basically it's a giant piece of ham that has been smoked. It was more than my wife and I could eat. It was roughly 6 bucks for... More

Loved the architecture, but hated the crowds. Shop a little away from this area as the prices are definitely higher here
