Where should Istay in.
Month guide

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.

One more opinion

Send me the trip. I’ll send back the area.

Dates, budget, who’s travelling and the one thing you don’t want to deal with. I’ll answer with a specific base, not a brochure.

A note from the editor

“I’d rather tell you which area to skip than sell you another list of ‘best hotels’.”

The guides are independent. Booking links may earn a commission; they never change the shortlist.
