• Cuántos días hay que planear?

Recomendamos resrvar por lo menos 3 días para gozar la ciudad de Praga y 2 días para explorar el campo checo.

Ver las mejores vistas y atracciones de la república checa tomaría por lo menos 2 semanas.

Una vez que usted esté en el corazón de Europa - Praga usted puede ver fácilmente más de Europa durante el viaje día (Dresden, Viena, Salzburg, etc.)

• How to avoid the crowds?

The famous sights as the Castle, Jewish Museum, Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge, get really crowded from 10 am to 3 p.m.. If you want to avoid it: Wake up early and see the bridge (before 9 am), do some sightseeing and than just rest in some peaceful garden or on Petrín hill, visit some gallery, enjoy the boat tour, visit the sights out of the centre as Troja or Zbraslav chateaux, Vyšehrad castle, Břevnov monastery. Even a nap in your hotel is better than overcrowded streets ... than continue the sightseeing of the centre after 3pm.

With your personal guide you can of course learn how to use the secret streets and avoid the crowds even during the midday.

Consejo importante

Nunca cambian el dinero en la calle, es peligroso - dinero falso, ofensa criminal! Utilice un banco o una ATM ("bankomat"). Las mejores tarifas se ofrecen generalmente en la oficina en la esquina de la calle Kaprova y Maiselova.

The Emergency number is 112 from any telephone (free of charge).

Prague demands to be wandered through, so bring some comfortable shoes.

Use the cheap and efficient public transport service. One hour tickets for 26 CZK (1US) are sold in tobacco kiosks, metro stations, etc. They cannot be purchased directly on vehicle!

Prague Castle by night

Taxi mafia - drivers tend to overprice. Taxis ordered through a dispatcher are cheaper. Reputable Taxi AAA, phone: 14 0 14, out of Prague - call 222 333 222. Taking taxi in the street always ask for a receipt ahead, check if they switch on the taximeter and say some word in Czech. The fare must be marked in the car. Usual prices: 1 km – 28 CZK, from airport to hotel 500-700 CZK, from hotel to Prague Castle 200-300 CZK.

Winter time visit - do bring winter clothes, gloves, cap, scarf, warm socks etc.

Prevent a pickpocket opening your bags - use little lock, underwear wallet, etc.

Small calculator may be very helpful (converting currency, kilometers, Celsius etc.)

Make sure your appliance (hairdryers, camera charges, laptops, etc.) have a switch to change the voltage to 220V! If you need a converter - come prepared.

Avoid the tourist traps. Restaurants and shops located near the famous sights (Charles Bridge, Astronomical clock, Castle) are usually the most expensive.
