Trips To Prague is an independent guide to the city, written and maintained by Samer Alqaisi. It is part of a network that includes Trips To The World and separate guides to Istanbul, Madrid, New York and Dublin.

What this site is trying to be

Prague is one of the most written-about cities in Europe and most of what is written about it stops at the Old Town Square. This site is more interested in the fact that Charles Bridge at six in the morning and at noon are two different places, that a beer costs three times as much on the square as it does fifteen minutes away in Žižkov, and that an unvalidated tram ticket will cost you more than a day’s sightseeing.

That specificity is the point: not that somewhere is beautiful, but when to go, what it costs, what to book, and where the city stops performing.

How it is researched

Opening times, ticket structures and access rules come from the venue’s own source and are dated on the page. Where a price is not shown, it is because it has not been checked recently enough to print.

Prague reprices, and the castle’s circuit definitions in particular change. Treat anything quoted here as an indication and check before you budget around it.

Corrections are made quickly and acknowledged.

How it is funded

Advertising and some affiliate links, mainly hotel and flight search. If you book through one, the site may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

What that does not buy: no hotel, restaurant, brewery, tour operator or attraction has paid for a mention or a position here. No sponsored posts, no paid placements, no press trips.

Where something is not worth the money, the page says so — which is why the U Fleků entry sets out plainly that it is the most touristed pub in the city and expensive, and then explains why the beer is still worth going for once.
