Basic Info for Prague Vacations

You might consider these things first when planning your trip:

• Prague is best seen in 3 or 4 days. If you plan for less, you will miss stuff - and likely feel stressed.

• Prague is a walk-able city. The essential bits are tightly bound in the center of the city.

• Apartment rentals are the best way to avoid expensive hotels.

• Euros are not widely used here. We still use Czech crowns (koruna). More info here.

• We use 220V electricity. If you're coming from the US you'll need an adapter (and maybe a transformer). More info here.

• Prague is in the Czech Republic, not Czechoslovakia - just a friendly clarification :)
