Malá Strana (Little Quarter in District 1) is one of the the ideal areas to stay for all travellers who want to be in the centre of historical Prague and enjoy a laid-back, quiet atmosphere. It’s perfect for romantic holidays and quiet city breaks and is just a few minutes’ walk from the landmark Old Town Square. It’s on the Prague Castle side of the Vltava River, so you’ll be close to the famous ninth-century Gothic cathedral.

You can also stay in Prague’s Old Town (Staré Mesto, District 2) if you want to be close to the city’s most famous sights, such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square. If it’s your first visit, it’s a good choice. Here you can find the impressive Astronomical Clock, the Church of Our Lady before Týn and many other remarkable monuments and buildings. This is the perfect place for a walking tour or to visit the Christmas and Easter markets. Make sure you also visit Josefov, off Old Town, which is the old Jewish Quarter.

Hilton Old Town will have you positioned perfectly to explore. Possible accommodation options include the K+K Hotel Central Prague, which has a suitably romantic Bohemian feel.

The neighbouring Nové Město (New Town, District 3) is a 700-year-old neighbourhood around Wenceslas Square. This is the perfect place if you’re looking for churches, art, good food and drink. It’s centrally located, within walking distance of all the attractions, and well connected to the metro and tram. If you’re looking for a more luxe travel experience, you won’t be disappointed with the hotels in this area. Try EA Hotel for a convenient place to stay.
