General Tips: When to visit Prague

  • Favorite Thing: I visited Prague at the beginning of May, around the 10th. The weather was somewhat cool but comfortable and the crowds were small (even with holdovers from the World Championships of Hockey the week before). I returned to Prague at the end of May and noticed a huge difference in the number of people. It was like night and day. Many store and restaurant workers I talked to said that from June through August the crowds are massive.

    My advice - If you can plan your vacation to Prague in the spring, visit early to middle of May. After that, the crowds grow exponentially.

  • Favorite Thing: Beer is so cheap here! You will find some of the best beers in the world in Prague and the price is unbeatable. It is cheaper than bottled water!

  • Favorite Thing: Prepaid international phone cards are available almost anywhere and are a decent value. For example, a 150 Kc card from Smartcall will give you 10 min. of talk time.

  • Favorite Thing: If you are worried about developing your film in Prague, don't be. There are 2 stores I used and both did an excellent job. The prices were only slightly higher than in the US.

    Fotografia Praha, located in a shopping center off Vodickova, was very good. They didn't speak any language besides Czech, but knew exactly what I needed and did a great job.

    Foto Real in Old Town also did a good job, but I was more satisfied with the service at Fotografia Praha.

     I ate at Pivnice u Glaubicu on June 30th. The waitress gave us the most expensive version of a meal without informing us of the fact. Also, she purposely tried to overcharge us. She handed us a hand-added bill on a napkin that had been inflated.
