The glorious medieval square ringed by pastel facades, the twin-spired Týn Church and the Old Town Hall, whose 600-year-old Astronomical Clock puts on an hourly procession of the Apostles. Climb the tower for the best square view.

🛬
Airport → your hotel
Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is about 15 km from the city centre. Cheapest is trolleybus 59 to Nádraží Veleslavín then Metro line A — one 90-min PID ticket covers both (40 CZK, ~30 min). The Airport Express (AE) bus runs to the centre for CZK 100. A taxi is roughly CZK 600–1000 (€25–40) — book AAA/Bolt rather than a rank tout. Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
🆘
Emergencies
112 — EU emergency line (English-speaking); also 158 Police, 155 Ambulance, 150 Fire. Free, 24/7.
📱
SIM & data
Carriers: O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone. Prepaid SIMs widely available; or an eSIM. EU plans usually include Czechia.
🌤
Best time to visit
Late spring (Apr–Jun) and early autumn (Sep–Oct) are loveliest and less crowded. Summer is busy; December is magical with Christmas markets but cold. Winters are chilly and atmospheric.
🚊
Getting around
The historic centre is compact and walkable (cobbles — wear comfy shoes). Trams and the metro are cheap and efficient; buy and validate a ticket. Avoid unmarked taxis; use Bolt or Uber. <strong>PID</strong> trams, metro and buses share one ticket — a <strong>24-hour pass</strong> is ~150 CZK (≈140 via app) and a <strong>72-hour pass</strong> ~330 CZK (unlimited); the <strong>Prague Visitor Pass</strong> bundles transit with attractions.
🚌
Hop-on-hop-off buses
<strong>City Sightseeing Prague</strong> runs hop-on-hop-off buses past the Old Town, Prague Castle, Wenceslas Square and the river (~CZK 600, day ticket) — though cars are restricted in the historic core, so trams and walking often serve the centre better.
💶
Money & tipping
Czechia uses the koruna (CZK), not the euro — pay in CZK and decline "dynamic currency conversion" on cards. Tip ~10% in restaurants. Beware aggressive currency-exchange booths; use ATMs.
🛂
Visa for Indians
Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa (apply through the Czech Republic/VFS) with biometrics. Fee ~€90; processing about 15 working days. Apply several weeks ahead with insurance and bookings.
🏰
Beat the Castle crowds
Prague Castle is huge — go early, pick a circuit ticket, and watch the changing of the guard at noon. Charles Bridge is magical at dawn before the crowds and buskers arrive.
🍺
Food & beer
Czech beer is among the world's best and cheaper than water — try Pilsner Urquell and local microbrews. Eat goulash, svíčková, roast duck and trdelník (a tourist treat). Toast with "Na zdraví!".
🚆
Day trips
Kutná Hora's eerie bone church (Sedlec Ossuary) is an easy ~1-hour train ride; Český Krumlov's storybook old town is a longer but stunning full day south.
