Weather
Best May–September, with long, generally mild days, though June to August can bring brief storms and heavier crowds. Winters are cold and dim, ideal for museums and cozy pubs.
Where to stay
First-timers often base in Prague 1 to keep the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, and Malá Strana within a 15-minute walk, but expect higher prices and late-night noise near Old Town Square. For quieter nights with quick metro access, look to Vinohrady or Holešovice on the A and C lines of the Prague Metro.
Neighborhoods to compare
- Staré Město (Old Town): historic sights, short stays, first-timers
- Malá Strana (Lesser Town): romantic stays, castle access
- Vinohrady: leafy residential feel, dining, value
- Holešovice: galleries, beer gardens, budget options
How long to spend
Two full days cover Old Town, the Castle, and a Vltava river walk. Add a third for museums and a neighborhood day in Vinohrady or Holešovice, or a half-day up to Vyšehrad.
