Best Tourist Tips For Prague:


To help take the stress out of your trip to Prague, here are our top tourist travel tips. Through first hand visits to Prague we have learned a a few things that you just need to know a head of time. You can thank us later for our top ten tourist tips for visiting Prague.

 

1. What’s The Best Way To Get To Prague: Getting to Prague can be super annoying if you don’t plan ahead of time.  You can get to Prague from Vienna & Berlin by train really easy in just 5 hours, but Munich is where is gets weird.  From the West there just isn’t a train that you can take and you have to take the bus.  The bus from Munich only takes about 5 hours and is super cheap at only 34 if you book early, but it is still a bus.  You can walk around or use the bathroom like a train.  Train & Bus Website: (HERE).

Alternatively we like to fly on either of Europes budget airlines Ryan Air and Easy Jet for extremely cheap if you book ahead.  Between them there are routes in from the UK, Ireland, Paris, Milan, & Rome.  Tickets are as cheap as $30 American and are very quick, but cheap seats sell out quickly.


2. Planning & Dividing Your Time:
There is soooo much to do in Prague that it can be hard to prioritize what is the best use of your time. To help you out we have laid out the best itineraries based on how many days you’ll be in town.  Most sites and neighborhoods are very close to each and compact, making it easy to do a lot per day.   Whether you are only in town for 1-2 days or more than a week we’ve come up with the best plan of action to get your started.
