The capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, is one of the most exciting cities in Central Europe, offering excellent shopping, restaurants, nightlife, opera, sightseeing and holiday accommodation. Prague has an extremely long history, and a culture to match. Taking a holiday apartment in Prague is a magical experience whether you are there as a cultural, historical, active tourist or on a stag weekend break.

Places to holiday in Prague

Lesser Town on the slopes below Prague Castle was founded in 1257, and there are exquisite examples of architecture from almost every century since then. To start exploring, Lesser Square and Nerudova Street are central, and have a charm unsurpassed, in my opinion, by anywhere else in the city.

Josefov, or the Jewish Quarter, is a magnificent example of a Jewish settlement, which has developed over many centuries. The Town Hall, Pinkas Synagogue and The Rudolfinum are beautiful buildings all worth a visit from any of the self catering apartments in Prague.

The New Town, established in 1348 is the centre of art and craft, and despite the loss of much of the original fortifications, is a centre of services and facilities.
