I’m with you, I love Prague. I’ve never actually felt this fear that you describe of returning to a place and not knowing if you’ll still love it but I see where you’re coming from. I was in Prague for the first time in 2012, then again last year and I’m going back again this year. I just can’t get tired of it. It’s always so young, so fun, so beautiful. Although this will be the first time that I go as a solo traveler, so I’m a bit nervous but totally looking forward to it.

Prague was my 1st solo city as well! I will never tire of the place, I’ve been back only once since but hopefully will get back there soon. It’s interesting how “normal” Prague seems to me as someone who lives in Europe, and the likes of New York, Colorado etc. seem Amazing…then it’s the opposite for any Americans I meet 🙂

Prague was the first major city I travelled to outside of England and for this reason I have a great affinity with the city. I love the Old Town and I try and get there once a year when I can. I love the city. I especially love the way it is so compact and relatively easy to navigate.

I live in Prague and it’s strange my blogging journey began when I moved here. When I lived in the UK I had no time to blog but I don’t work anymore so i can spend all day blogging and discovering new places! I’d love to know if you come back to Prague!

In reply to Mario. Hi Mario, you can find such a pubs, but I really dont know whats the problem when ATM, exchange office or bank is on every corner especially in the center. But Im pretty sure if you say in pub: I dont have Czech crown may I pay in euro, they will not call police :-) . But be preparer for slightly higher exchange rate :-) .

Hi Matt.

I was in Prague numerous times as it’s only one border and 4 hours away by train, but I could never use euros anywhere in the city. Do you have any suggestions for eateries and pubs that accept euros? I will also be there in August 🙂

Cheers!

As one of my top 5 places I have been in the world I can totally see why you love it and wanted to return. I’d love to go back myself one day but this time not do all of the touristy things and just relax, wander the streets, eat the food and generally enjoy every minute rather than rushing about to try and fit everything in.

Hi Matt, as a big fan of yours I´m really glad to hear that. My hometown is unique city! It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for history, architecture, green city or bars and pubs we have it all here 🙂 . All in reach in a few minutes by Metro (local subway) or trams. Unfortunately lots of travel guides write about same places while others are marginalise. And you can imagine how price rise (while quality go dawn in some cases) in places with big concentration of tourists :-).
And few tips for you guys who plan your trip to Prague: you don´t need to take a cab (only if you´re in a hurry). There is lots of buses, trams, and metro will take you where ever you want and if you lost don’t afraid to ask young people. Even night buses run frequently. If you want to take romantic night-walk, go to visit Prague Castle about 10pm (close at 11pm) with magnificent view over night Prague. This place is full during the day but you´ll be alone (and safe) at night. From there you can take a walk dawn the streets and in half (quarter) an hour you find your self on Charles Bridge from where you can continue to pubs all around if you will. Next day go to Vysehrad (Metro station with the same name). Nice view and great place for picnic or practice yoga.
There is great Couchsurfing community, so if you contact someone they will take you to places where the locals go (I´m traveling right now so I can´t show you Prague in person but fell free for contact me) . I´m sure you can fing some people on Meetup and so.

I’ve only spent 8 hours in Prague about 15 years ago, it was the dead of winter and I had 11 hours between flights and was able to take a tour from the airport into downtown. Although I almost got frostbite I loved every second and have always wanted to go back. I also lived in Budapest, Hungary for two years as a very young child and though I don’t remember much my parent’s stories give me a desire to see it now as an adult.

I have been debating between South East Asia and Eastern Europe for my next big adventure in the fall and all signs seem to be pointing towards Europe…I think it’s time to return!

In reply to Lena. I'll be in Europe leading some tours and will go to South America in the winter.
