August in Prague
Old Town is the easiest first base: everything is walkable and the metro is close, though it is crowded and tourist-heavy. Malá Strana is quieter and prettier, with the castle above, but transport is slower and the hills are real. Vinohrady is where locals eat and live: better value, a calmer night and a short tram or metro to the centre.
