Prague is one of the easiest cities in Europe to explore on foot. Its historic centre, full of towers and spires, survived the 20th century with little damage and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Across the Vltava

Charles Bridge, with its rows of baroque statues, joins the Old Town to the Lesser Town, and Prague Castle looks down from the hill. A cruise on the Vltava gives you the same views from the water.

The Old Town

Every hour a crowd forms in the Old Town Square for the astronomical clock, which was first installed in 1410. Close by is Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, with its historic synagogues and old cemetery. Beer halls pour Czech lager, and in December the Christmas market fills the square.

Our Prague holidays

Our four nights at Hotel Paris, an Art Nouveau hotel a short walk from the Old Town Square, include direct flights from Heathrow. British Airways flies London to Prague in about 1 hour 50 minutes.
