We were not able to arrange formal hotel blocks, but Prague has so many wonderful hotel options. We recommend booking directly as early as possible, especially if you plan to stay for the full wedding weekend.

Old Town is the storybook Prague everyone imagines, with cobblestones, towers, cafés, and Old Town Square. Republic Square is also a great choice because it is central, convenient, and close to shopping, restaurants, and the Powder Tower. Malá Strana, also called Lesser Town, is romantic, quieter, and close to Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. Explore Old Town for classic Prague, Malá Strana for romance and quiet streets, Republic Square for convenience, Letná for parks and local energy, and Holešovice for a more modern artsy feel. A Reuters local guide recommends wandering the back streets of Old Town and Malá Strana, walking Petřín Hill, and exploring Letná and Holešovice for cafés, parks, galleries, and local spots.

Old Town Square is the iconic one, with the Astronomical Clock, historic buildings, and that magical Prague atmosphere. It is beautiful but can be crowded. Republic Square is central and convenient, near Municipal House, the Powder Tower, shopping, restaurants, and Hotel KINGS COURT. Lesser Town Square / Malostranské náměstí is under Prague Castle and surrounded by historic buildings, cafés, pubs, and St. Nicholas Church. It is one of the prettiest areas for wandering. Wenceslas Square is more commercial and touristy. It is famous and historically important, but not our favorite for where to stay.

We recommend avoiding Wenceslas Square as a home base if you want a romantic Prague feeling. It is historic and central, but it is also very commercial, busy, and touristy, with lots of shops, restaurants, hotels, and nightlife. It is fine to walk through, but we would not make it your wedding-weekend headquarters.

Try goulash, schnitzel, roast pork, duck, dumplings, potato pancakes, pickled cheese, sausages, and svíčková, which is beef in a creamy sauce with dumplings. And of course, order a Czech beer. Prague’s beer halls are not whispery little wine bars, they are big, golden, frothy cathedrals of comfort food.

A beer spa is exactly the kind of wonderfully strange Prague experience it sounds like: you soak in warm baths with beer-inspired ingredients like hops and yeast, often in private oak tubs, while drinking beer. Some places also include wheat straw beds, beer bread, saunas, or massages. Popular options include Beer Spa Bernard, Spa Beerland, and Original Beer Spa.

Prague is very walkable, especially if you are staying in Old Town, Republic Square, Malá Strana, or near the river. Uber and Bolt are usually the easiest because you can see the price before the ride. Regular taxis are available, but we recommend using an app or asking your hotel to arrange one so there are no surprises. Prague is very walkable, and trams are often faster than cars in the historic center.

For first-time visitors, we recommend Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, Malá Strana, and a walk along the Vltava River. Prague Castle is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and forms part of Prague’s skyline.

Walk from Old Town Square to Charles Bridge, cross into Malá Strana, and wander toward Kampa Island or up toward Prague Castle. This route is pure Prague: cobblestones, towers, lanterns, river views, and tiny streets that look like they are keeping secrets.

Yes, English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, tourist areas, and with younger people. Learning a few Czech phrases is still sweet and appreciated. Hello: Dobrý den Thank you: Děkuji Please: Prosím Cheers: Na zdraví

Prague uses the Czech koruna, also written as CZK or Kč. You may also hear it called the Czech crown. Even though the Czech Republic is part of the European Union, it still has its own currency.

September in Prague is usually mild and beautiful, with cooler evenings. Average September temperatures are around the low 70's during the day and high 50's at night, so layers are a good idea.
