Districts
Most of the best historic sights are around the Castle district. Unsurprisingly, this zone houses the hilltop Prague Castle, where you will get superb views over the city. The immediate surrounding area is known as the lesser town, with many more of the town's oldest buildings. The old town is wonderful for getting lost in charming, narrow streets. While the so-called new town is somewhat more modern, it was still established in the 14th century!

Transport
If you are staying a little out of town or want to explore the lesser-known areas of Prague, you can hop on the tram, bus or metro to get around. Taxis are also affordable and are ideal for travelling to and from the suburbs. City centre traffic makes walking or public transport the easiest option in central Prague.

Weather
Summers in Prague tend to be slightly warmer than in London. Expect the thermometer to hit the mid to high 20s° in July and August. Winter often sees the city blanketed in snow, adding a majestic touch to an already enchanting destination. The Christmas markets at Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square are very traditional and well worth checking out.
