Map of Prague

Sooner or later, you'll need a map of Prague. It's a travel basic. And you know what? Prague's little streets might still confuse you. Heck, I still get turned around sometimes. But, that's all part of the traveling experience.

This page provides a few map options including my own homemade rough guide.

My down-loadable street map was pieced together with Google's help. It's free and printable!

So save your eyes from staring at the computer. It includes the main attractions and I've noted a few places that I think are overlooked.

When Planning with a Map of Prague

When browsing a map, consider a few things:

• The location of your accommodation can really make or break your holiday. Is it on a noisy street? Is there a pub next door? Where's the nearest bank machine?

• Is your accommodation near public transportation? You want trams to be close but not too close. Their streets can be a bit noisy.

• Are there restaurants nearby? The Google Map below includes various businesses like restaurants and banks.

• Many hotels say they are in the "center", but what does that mean? Will you be on a busy street? Can you walk to some attractions?
