Along the cobblestone path of the historic circuit, you're sure to find plenty of history and art.

On the other side of Charles Bridge, a monument-symbol of the city, under the scenic Vltava river — the visitor begins the ascent towards the sumptuous castle, one of the largest in the world and which housed none other than the kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.

Beautiful churches and synagogues, full of history, are also found in the four corners of the city, including the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Vitus, in Prague Castle, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Tyn, one of the monuments that dominate the horizon most photographed in town. In Josefov, the Jewish quarter, don't miss the chance to learn about the history of Prague's Jews and explore synagogues such as the Old-New - the oldest in Europe - and the Pinkas, whose walls bear the names of 80,000 Jewish victims of the holocaust.

The official language of the country is Czech, but those who speak English will have no difficulty getting by there; many people also speak German in the city. The local currency is Koruna and prices, in general, are usually much more expensive than in European cities like Paris, London and Amsterdam, for example.

A great and ancient city filled with art, history and great gastronomy.

Prague is a place where old and new blend seamlessly and entertainment options are numerous, at night and at dawn, the city is as lively as it is during the day.

The main tip for those who want to explore the capital of the Czech Republic well is to explore it, as much as possible, on foot. Prague is simply perfect for walking and along the way, in addition to several monuments, you will find numerous charming streets, with buildings ranging from Gothic to Renaissance, full of history, shops, restaurants, and a host of other things that end up not being explored when choosing to use public transport.

It is obvious that the weather needs to be at least decent for this to be possible, but know that the main attractions in Prague are all very close to each other and this makes the tourist's life much easier. To get around the city efficiently, get a good paper or virtual map, if you use your smartphone.

Another tip that can help those traveling on a budget are tourist passes that entitle you to enter some tourist attractions, use unlimited public transport during the period, and discounts at certain museums, restaurants and the like.

The Prague City Pass allows entry to Prague Castle, St. George's Basilica, the Jewish Museum, Josefov Synagogues, among other tourist attractions, click here to see them all. Remembering that the Prague City pass also includes two tours: one by bus through the city center and another by boat on the Vltava River. The benefit costs 1,390 CZK (adults), 990 CZK (children) and can be purchased online.

The Prague Card includes a visit to the Castle, the Old Town Hall and the Petřín Tower, not to mention unlimited use of public transport. According to the website, by using the card, the visitor would save 1,520 CZK over three days. The Prague Card is available in two-, three- and four-day versions.

It's good to understand that Prague's neighborhoods have their own numbering system. This means that the central area of the capital of the Czech Republic is divided into districts, more precisely from 1 to 10.

Prague 1 (Praha 1), for example, is the heart and also the most touristy part of the city. This was the region where we stayed and we can say that it was a "hand in the wheel" to be close to important points such as the Old Town Square, in Staré Město, Prague Castle, in Malá Strana, among others.

Staying in Praha 1, you will be able to do everything (or almost everything) on ​​foot — apart from that you will be surrounded by cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, public transport, etc. The only problem with hotels in the region is the prices which, despite being cheaper than in other tourist cities in Europe, such as London and Paris, are still high by local standards. To get better prices, avoid high season (see here the best time to visit the city) or book in advance.

Another issue is that Praha 1 is very busy — especially Staré Město — and it also doesn't match the reality of the locals as it is extremely touristy. If your intention, therefore, is to discover life outside the tourist area of ​​the city, it may be better to stay in another neighborhood. Check out our suggestions:

Vinohrady - situated between two metro stations and with an excellent range of electric cable cars running around the area, Vinohrady is a popular residential area for young people today, as well as expats heading to Prague to work. A vibrant area full of cafes, restaurants and very close to Wenceslas Square, which means being well located.

Žižkov - situated in Prague 3, Žižkov starts where Vinohrady ends and, despite being further away, still maintains an excellent connection with the center of Prague (cablecars and metro station). In the area, the visitor will also find a good structure with restaurants, supermarkets and the like.

Karlín (Prague 8) - excellent neighborhood for those who want to stay in a quieter area — especially at night — but with good options for cafes and restaurants. To access the city center from this location in Prague, just take the yellow line B in Křižíkova (three to four stations).

The tip for those who want to spend less is to book well in advance; in addition, it is good to know that some seasons can be cheaper than others, for example staying in the city during the summer is usually more expensive.

As in the rest of Europe, in Prague the seasons are usually well defined. July, for example, is a good month for those who enjoy intense heat and also for those who don't mind the fact that the city will probably be busier.
