What are the best places to stay in Prague?

Staré Mesto

Plan to stay in Staré Mesto after arriving on flights to Prague if you’re looking for that classic Czech experience. This is the city’s Old Town and is where you’ll find Gothic architecture and colourful buildings. Staré Mesto is buzzing with activity and is home to some of the best restaurants, cafes, and shops in Prague. It’s also where you can visit some of the top tourist attractions while holidaying on return flights to Prague, including the Old Town Square, Prague Astronomical Clock, and Kinsky Palace.

Malá Strana

Malá Strana is just across the Vltava River from Staré Mesto and is connected to the Old Town by the iconic Charles Bridge. It has a similar atmosphere to Staré Mesto, but with slightly fewer tourists and lower restaurant prices. It’s ideal for tourists holidaying on cheap flights to Prague who want to stay central without being in the main tourist hub. There are some great restaurants and bars around Malá Strana, plus major attractions including Prague Castle, the John Lennon Wall, and St. Vitus Cathedral.

Nové Mesto

Nové Mesto is often referred to as the New Town, since it’s the youngest of Prague’s five boroughs. However, it was established in 1348 so there’s still a lot of history to explore here when you book tickets to Prague. Nové Mesto has a unique mix of traditional Czech architecture alongside contemporary buildings and structures. The neighbourhood has some great local restaurants and some of the best nightlife in Prague. Nové Mesto landmarks to visit while holidaying on flights to Prague include the Dancing House, Wenceslas Square, and the National Museum.
