Trip-advisor Prag

Hello everyone and welcome to Tripadvisor on Prague’s best sights, top attractions, restaurants, clubs and shopping centres.

We have both fallen in love with the city. The architecture of the city fascinates us very much. Because of the colourful baroque buildings, the city is also called ‚the city of a hundred towers‘. The city has a medieval charm that enchanted us. Both during the day and in the late evening, but also at night, Prague is a beautiful city. Whether for culture lovers, connoisseurs or revellers, Prague offers great attractions for everyone. A versatile mix in a versatile city.
Travelling from A to B is also easy with the good metro and tram connections. You can reach your destination quickly and easily in just a few minutes.
You will also find many different restaurants here. From typical Czech to Italian and Chinese cuisine. During our stay here, we have already found a few delicious restaurants. Compared to Switzerland, the restaurants are much cheaper.
There is also a wide range of shopping opportunities in the city, as well as many large shopping centres.
Despite the many sirens you hear, Prague is a very safe city where we feel very comfortable no matter what time of day it is.
If you want to visit Prague, here are a few travel tips.

What we especially like about Prague are the many trees that decorate the streets. It is recommended to walk along the river if you want to look at both parts of the city, but the interior of the old town is also very beautiful.

Staroměstské náměstí / Old Town Square

The Old Town Square is in the centre of the Old Town. From here you can walk down the various alleys and visit the different shops and restaurants.

Václavské náměstí / Wenceslas Square

In the past, Wenceslas Square was often the scene of demonstrations and a horse market. Today, Wenceslas Square is very modern, with boutiques, fashion stores, cinemas and theatres to delight visitors. Many different restaurants, cafés, shops and clubs also dominate the area around Wenceslas Square. At the end of the alley is the Národní Muzeum (National Museum), which also gives an insight into the history of the Czech Republic. We can only recommend the museum. You can see how much passion and diligence has gone into the museum. You can spend several hours here without getting bored. We ourselves spent half a day in here and couldn not even visit the whole museum because it is so big.
Both during the day and at night, the area around Wenceslas Square is lively.

The Dancing House is an office building on the Vltava River that immediately catches the eye because of its unusual architecture.
