Tips On Which Area to Stay In

Prague is a safe city, pretty much any area of Prague is safe enough for even single travellers to stay in - Malá Strana is where the Fringe is held. Areas immediately around the Fringe zone are Old Town, New Town, Andel, Smíchov, Dejvice, Letná and Holešovice. Other cool areas a little further out are Vinohrady, Žižkov and Strašnice.  

 

 

Transport Within Prague

Getting Around with Prague's public transport, PiD is fantastic and cheap. If you choose to stay out with the immediate historic centre, to keep costs down you will always be near a tram or bus stop and be able to get into the Fringe zone and even get home late at night (no matter how far out). The public transport (except for the metro) runs all night. Passes valid for a month (weekly passes don't exist) are available at 550 CZK (approx 20 EUR) ) which still works out a pretty good deal if you are travelling around a bit - more info on that here.  We recommend you download the local transport app Pid Lítačka where you can buy tickets/ passes and look up transport times. 

Bolt (Estonian mobility company) is our recommended app based taxi service with fares often cheaper than other alternatives. Very approximately a 15 -20 min journey would cost around 150 CZK (approx 6 EUR) so traveling home by taxi is not overly costly either. The following refferal code will get you a discounted first fare - 9C3WQ. Get the app here.
