Let's share a couple of our travel tips:
Prague Map
Even though the centre of Prague is quite compact and easily makes it possible to explore almost all of the wonderful sights by foot, most firstcomers will benefit from having a good map of the city. Once you are here you'll see that they are available everywhere. But like most other things they come in different qualities, and here are some of our tips to follow, if you want to buy a map that you'll actually be able to make good use of:
-
Aim
for a scale of 1:15 000 - it is my personal experience that this
is the best compromise between size and readability. You'll
probably mostly be in the city centre - so avoid buying a very
large map, which will be too annoying to handle, when you're
looking at it standing in the street. And exactly that
situation, standing at a street corner and trying to navigate,
is the situation you should prepare for. If you plan to take
trips away from the centre, buy 2 maps - a large one and a
smaller one which is easier to handle. - Make sure that there is a good street register and that the street names are in Czech. Most people find it quite difficult to remember Czech words, including street names, and without a good guidance on the map, it is going to be a difficult task to find a particular street.
-
Most
of the maps have pictures or logos to indicate, where the major
sights are. This can be a help, but make sure that these
pictures are not too big or too dominant as this will make it a
lot harder to use the map, well - as a map - Check the quality and layout of the printing. Remember, you'll also be looking at the map druing the evening, when the light is poor. To emphasize my point, please look at the two samples of different Prague maps, I have scanned. The upper one will be a lot more diffucult to use than the lower one, where things are simple and very clear and easy to read. So make the right choice.
- Consider buying the map in a book store. They'll have a good selection and you'll be able to take a good look at the map before you buy it. Most of the newspaper stands in the streets sell maps as well, and of course these can be just as good - but it is going to be more diffucult for you to make sure you pick the right one.
- If you would like to make plans at home and haven't had the chance to buy a good map already - take a look at these very interesting online maps:
Mapy.cz - write a street address (followed by the word Praha) and press enter. You can zoom ind and out and grab the map with your mouse and move the selection
Hotmap of Prague - write the streetname and pick the right one from the list shown underneath the search box. You can zoom and drag around as you please. Please note the option "Large map" in the top menu - it'll come in handy!
Prague Nightlife
If
you like to go out and have fun in the evening, you'll be thrilled
by the Prague nightlife. So don't hesitate to enjoy some of the
bars, clubs and discotheques. There's something for every taste, and
the prices are low compared to other European cities. Obviously the
weekend will be most lively, but also on weekdays you can find a
party - mainly thanks to the tourists, who don't care so much about
which day it is. Have a look at
Karlovy Lazne right next to the Charles Bridge,
a disco in 5 floors, where each floor has a different music style.
Or the more fancy
Club Duplex on Vaclavske Namesti (Wenceslas Square) -
still famous for being the place, where Mick Jagger chose to
celebrate his 60th birthday.
Harley's bar in Dlouha street 18 is one of the
coolest places to go if you like good cocktails and prefer rock
music instead of the latest pop radio hits.
Double Trouble in Melantrichova street 17 calls itself
a No Blush Music Bar - trying to say that
this is the place to go when you want to party a bit harder. And
Techtle Mechtle in beautiful Vinohrady (Vinohradska street
47) is the place to go if you want to party with the local Czech
in-crowd. Of course, should you decide to
book an apartment for your holiday
in Prague with
Praha Expert you'll receive a longer
list of tips regarding the nightlife.
