Planning a family reunion in Prague
Castle terraces, gothic bridges, beer gardens with a river view. For a group, weigh a block of hotel rooms against one whole-home rental: the house is usually better value per person and keeps everyone together, while a hotel is simplest for a short stay. Expedia shows both for Prague.
Prague with kids, realistically
Older Tatra trams are step-up, so a pram means waiting for a low-floor car or using the metro, where lifts exist but sit at odd ends of the platforms. Cobbles punish small wheels everywhere in Mala Strana. Children do well at the Troja zoo, reachable by river boat, and at Petrin's mirror maze and tower. The Castle's long stone climb suits ages seven upward.
What to eat in Prague
Svickova na smetane, beef in cream sauce with bread dumplings and cranberry, is the dish to order, alongside gulas and roast duck with red cabbage. Lokal and U Kroka serve it without tourist markup. Trdelnik sold along Karlova is Hungarian in origin and not Czech at all. Drink tank-fresh Pilsner Urquell, and look to Vinohrady and Karlin for the better modern kitchens.
What's actually worth your time in Prague
Prague Castle is a walled district rather than a building: the Old Royal Palace and St Vitus need the paid Circuit ticket, while the courtyards and the view over the red roofs cost nothing. Charles Bridge is a photo stop, best taken before seven in the morning. The Astronomical Clock's hourly apostle parade lasts under a minute and disappoints almost everyone; Petrin's funicular and mirror maze repay more.
What first-timers get wrong in Prague
Validate in the yellow box the moment you board; plainclothes inspectors fine on the spot, and a 24-hour pass costs 150 CZK on paper against 140 CZK in the PID Litacka app. Never change money at the street kiosks near Old Town Square, where the rates are ruinous. Taxis hailed at the Castle overcharge, so use Bolt. Restaurant bread and nuts are billed per piece.
What things cost in Prague
A 90-minute transit ticket is 46 CZK in the app and 50 CZK on paper; the 24-hour version runs 140 to 150 CZK. Half a litre of Pilsner costs roughly 55 to 80 CZK in a neighbourhood hospoda and double that on Old Town Square. A main course at Lokal sits near 200 to 300 CZK. The Castle circuit ticket is the day's biggest single line item.
