Welcome to the Czech Travel Guide. Whether you want to find accommodation in Prague hotels and apartments or just rent a car for travelling around the beautiful Czech countryside, you are on the right place. This is not a commercial site so you won't be able to book anything here, but we do provide recommendations for commercial sites.
Enjoy our site and good luck in Prague and the Czech Republic. Avoid the taxi drivers waiting at ranks in obvious tourist locations. Hail a moving cab or call one of the services listed below. Make sure you are getting into an authorised taxi and the driver turns on the meter. It is safer to agree a fee before you get in the cab. The main crime problems are petty pilfering from cars and pockets.
They concentrate in tourist areas like Wenceslas Square, Old Town Square, Charles Bridge and the Castle, also when getting on or off a tram or train in the metro. A favourite time for them are the crowded summer months. Always remember to keep your bag closed and avoid carrying your passport, wallet and valuables in your back pocket. Never leave valuables in your car.
Park your car in an underground car park. When in Prague Main Station, never leave your bag unattended, even on the train. Thieves are now boarding the train while it waits in the station and stealing luggage. In the past, very little attention was paid to the needs of the disabled anywhere in the Czech Republic. Attitudes are slowly changing but there is still a long way to go, and the chronic shortage of funds for almost anything is not helping matters.
The major problem is the transport, since buses and trams are impossible for wheelchairs and trains only slighty better. Prostitution is not legal in the Czech Republic, though police generally turn a blind eye. If you walk down Wenceslas Square any time past 10pm, you will see prostitutes at every corner on the streets leading into the Old Town.
