Prague Areas to Stay

We imagine that it might feel a bit overwhelming to choose an area to stay in Prague. All the obvious questions come up... what area is best, what area is quiet, what parts are close to everything... etc, etc. And, a Prague hotel map can only suggest so much.

But, let's take a closer look at the best areas to stay. Of course, it's all subjective, but these should give you a local feel for what to expect.

Malá Strana (Lesser Town) - see center left on our Prague Hotel Map.

This area is the charming and romantic part of Prague that's snuggled just below the castle. We love this area. It has fabulous access to sightseeing, hidden sights, great restaurants, cafes, bars - AND - fewer crowds for sure.

Malá Strana gets overshadowed by the hoopla of Old Town, but it shouldn't. It's just as central and your hotel choices are just as good.

Malá Strana is... very convenient, walking distance to the sights, romantic, cozy, alluring, green, full of atmosphere and a bit subdued and quiet compared to Old Town.

Malá Strana is NOT... a shopper's paradise, as commercial as other areas, as well connected to the metro or as flat as Old Town. More on Mala Strana hotels.

Old Town (Staré Město and Josefov) - see center right on our Prague Hotel Map.

Old Town is considered the most central area in Prague. It gets most of the attention because of its grand square, various sights and accessiblity. We're including Josefov or the Jewish Quarter here too, because it's a small area attached to Old Town.

There are lots of hotels to choose from here, but buyer beware. They aren't all created equally.

We suggest you read reviews and stay off the main tourist streets.

Old Town is... the bustling hub of Prague and is very well connected by the metro as well as being filled with things to do, museums, galleries, shops and various sights.

Old Town is NOT... the cheapest area to stay nor is it known to be the quietest.

---

New Town (Nové Město) - see right side of map above.

New Town is wrapped around Old Town and the two seemingly blur together. In fact, hotels in this area might say they are in Old Town when they actually aren't.

Regardless, New Town is a fun and lively area to stay in Prague. It's more commercial and busier than Old Town, but very close to all the main attractions and public transportation is very good throughout this area.

New Town is quite large, so double check your access to the city before you book.

New Town is... fairly commercial, less touristy and generally cheaper. It includes Wenceslas Square and has excellent metro and tram connections.

New Town is NOT... as historic and atmospheric as Malá Strana and Old Town. And, it's not always as convenient in terms of walking as some hotels might suggest.

Hradčany, Vinohrady, Dejvice and Smíchov

These four areas are peferctly good areas to stay in Prague too. The one flaw that they share is their distances from the main city center and the historic attractions. They are just outside the zone of what might be comfortable for you.

From these areas, you won't be able to rely on walking to the sights from your hotel. Instead you'll need public transportation to help out. This is a perfectly acceptable option to some, but not for many others - it's up to you.

There are a few upsides to staying in these areas too. You get a more local feeling, cheaper hotels and a chance to see areas of Prague you might not otherwise consider.

More Notes: Districts and a Prague Hotel Map

As you look for a hotel, you will no doubt come across specific district numbers for Prague. Hotels love to suggest their presence in Prague 1, for example.

Just bear in mind that Prague's district numbers aren't always as telling as you might think. Prague 1 is certainly the main historic areas, but a place in Prague 2 or even Prague 5 might be equally charming and convenient for you.

It all depends on your personal preferences. So, our advice is... don't get stuck on district numbers. Their lines aren't meant to clarify a hotel's quality or service and they can change from one street to the next without a discernable value for you.
