Travel Tips
- Visit Prague Castle at opening (6am in summer) to avoid crowds
- Czech beer is the best and cheapest in Europe — drink it everywhere
- Avoid exchangers with 'no commission' signs — they have bad rates; use ATMs instead
- The Jewish Quarter (Josefov) is one of Europe's most important — don't skip it
- Cross Charles Bridge at sunrise for empty photos
- Tipping: round up or add 10% at restaurants
Getting There & Around
Prague's metro has 3 lines — newer stations have elevators. Trams run across the city and are fully accessible (low-floor). Walking is the best way to see the center but cobblestones are everywhere. Uber and Bolt operate here. Prague is compact — most sights are within 30 minutes' walk.
