As such, I wanted to include a blog post about making a somewhat difficult place a little easier to navigate. So, grab a pork sausage and a pilsner and get ready to read all about Prague, the fifth most visited city in Europe, and the number one place for beer consumption! Me, on the Charles Bridge, wondering why man invented cobblestone. First and foremost, I want to offer a little reassurance for travelers with mobility issues.
The low-floor trams and city buses in Prague also have wheelchair ramps, making getting around the city a little less problematic. The cobblestone can be rough for some. In Prague, you can save money and still get a great room. There are some amazing 4 and 5-star Prague hotels at very reasonable prices. More on both of those later.
And this was no crummy continental breakfast! The Hotel Kings Court puts out a great spread! Want more suggestions? The best times to visit Prague are spring and early fall when the weather is mild and there are fewer crowds. I would avoid visiting Prague in the summer. Prague is also beautiful in winter and offers a wonderful array of things to do. I recommend spending days in Prague. The city itself is rather small and you can cover the main Prague tourist attractions in days, depending on how much you want to pack into one day.
But there are a few day trips I recommend adding to your trip as there are many amazing places to visit in the Czech Republic. Several of these destinations are close enough to make a day trip to and keep Prague as your home base. Day One: The Charles Bridge is an excellent spot to start your day. Vitus Cathedral, a prime example of gothic architecture and the largest and most important church in the country.
You can enjoy a good Czech pilsner across the street from the castle as you appreciate the views over Prague and watch the changing of the guard. The Prague Castle Guard seems to lack the cheeky humor of the guards at Buckingham Palace, as evidenced by the dearth of Dolly Parton tunes played during the guard change. Across from Prague Castle, waiting for the guard change, and for my Advil to kick in. Visitors are allowed entry to the castle and many surrounding exhibits on the massive property.
