Hotels in Prague

Staying in Prague

The river divides the city. On the east bank are the Old Town with its square and astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter to its north, and the New Town around Wenceslas Square, where the main station also sits. Across the Charles Bridge on the west bank, Mala Strana climbs towards the castle and the cathedral on the hill. Vinohrady, behind the main station, is a residential district of cafes and parks that many longer-stay visitors prefer. Vaclav Havel Airport Prague lies to the west of the city, beyond the suburbs. The road in comes through the western districts and reaches the river on the castle side before crossing to the Old Town, so hotels in Mala Strana come up before those on the east bank. A private transfer from the airport is bookable on AI Concierge alongside the hotel; the driver needs your flight number and the hotel address. For the sights, anything in the Old Town or Mala Strana puts you within a walk of the bridge, the square and the castle; expect narrow streets and cobbles, so pack with that in mind if you have heavy luggage. The New Town is better for rail arrivals and for a bit more room. Vinohrady or Karlin suit a longer stay or a quieter night.
