Your 3 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival and first steps into the Old Town
Once youโve dropped off your luggage at the hotel, head out for a walk right away. Since the Ursuline Convent is right next to the hotel, start your walk there. Walk to the โRotunda of the Holy Crossโโone of Pragueโs oldest surviving structuresโand then stroll through the narrow streets toward the river to catch your first glimpse of the castleโs silhouette. End the evening, consider ending the day at the โU U Flekลฏโ pub, located just a few minutesโ walk from the hotel, sitting at a wooden table and enjoying a dark lager.
Castle side, bridges and beer halls
Cross Charles Bridge early, before it gets too crowded, walk up to Prague Castle to watch the changing of the guard, and look back at the cityscape with its red roofs. Have lunch in Lesser Town, then take a stroll through the gardens. When you return to the New Town, stop by the Vaclav Havel Library and check out the small but thought-provoking exhibition dedicated to the life of this key figure of the โVelvet Revolution.โ If you have dinner near your hotel, youโll still have a little time left for an evening stroll.
History, coffee and a slow goodbye
How about spending your last morning in a more peaceful setting? Located right next to the hotel, the โSTB Prisonโ is a place that invites reflection on the โPrague's Cold Warโ era in Prague. Afterward, you can enjoy a quiet cup of coffee at one of the cafรฉs in New Town and browse the Havel Library bookstore to take your mind off your upcoming departure. If time allows, before checking out of the hotel and heading to the airport, consider taking a walk to Wenceslas Square to do some last-minute shopping.

FAQ
What are the main do's and don'ts in Prague?
Be sure to carry small change in Czech korunas. In many places, korunas are preferred over euros. Exchange money only at official exchange offices and under no circumstances on the street. Be sure to validate your ticket before boarding a tram. Try not to leave cash on the table without specifying the amount as a tip, and avoid ordering dishes from the menu without checking the prices on the tourist streets around Old Town Square.
What is the cheapest month to visit Prague?
Since the hustle and bustle of the Christmas markets dies down in January and February, and demand before Easter de isnโt quite as high yet, these months generally feature the lowest prices. Of course, you should expect cold weather, but itโs easier to get a table at restaurants, and hotel rates are lower. A trip in Your September falls during the โoff-season,โ so you can enjoy mild weather and travel at much more affordable prices than during the peak season from July through August.
What should travellers beware of in Prague?
Be careful on crowded trams, as well as in the area around Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square: there are pickpockets there. Be wary of unlicensed taxis, which charge inflated fares; instead, use taxis with a metre or a ride-hailing app. Avoid currency exchange offices in the city centre that offer unusually favorable exchange rates, and in restaurants, check to see if a service charge is included in the bill before paying.
Is Budapest or Prague better for a city break?
Both cities are worth visiting. Prague charms visitors with its compact medieval architecture, the view from the castle, and pubs such as โU Flekลฏ,โ near this hotel. Budapest, on the other hand, stands out for its thermal baths, the grandeur of the river, and slightly lower prices. If this is your first time travelling through Central European and you want to explore the sights comfortably on foot, Prague will likely be the easier choice to start with.
Is Prague really one of the prettiest cities in the world?
Thanks to its almost completely preserved urban landscape in the Gothic and Baroque styles, the castle towering over the river, as well as landmarks such as the Rotunda of the Holy Cross next to the hotel, this city consistently ranks among the most charming capitals in Europe. Whether or not it is the most beautiful is open to debate, but most first-time visitors are unlikely to be disappointed as they take in the view from Charles Bridge at dawn.
