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.
Prague after dark
Beer halls set the tempo. U Fleku has brewed its dark thirteen-degree lager on the same site since 1499, and most classic hospody stop serving around eleven. The genuinely late hours belong to Zizkov, dense with pubs, and to Cross Club's scrap-metal warren in Holesovice. Dlouha street collects the stag traffic, while residents drift to Vinohrady wine bars instead.
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.
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.
When the weather turns in Prague
Rain suits the interiors here. The Klementinum's Baroque library hall runs timed tours only, so book ahead. Obecni dum keeps you dry in Art Nouveau comfort, and the Lucerna passage, one link in a chain of covered arcades off Wenceslas Square, hangs Cerny's upside-down horse over its atrium. Otherwise ride tram 22 end to end for a heated tour of the city.
