Prague

Pros: unique experience, cheap, excellent location
Cons: shared bathroom facilities

Pension Unitas is a former communist secret service prison. Now, it’s a budget place to stay while in Prague. Vaclav Havel spent one night there, though he probably didn't want to. I stayed in Pension Unitas in August of ‘99. The room, located in the...

Pros: Bathe yourself in history, soak up the music, the churches, the castle and the beer
Cons: If you want western commercialism or a wild time - go elsewhere

Prague - a living museum piece, spires, churches, bridges, stunning castle, history, grandiose decadence. Almost untouched - but changing fast. Soak up some history and spend a few days in Prague. The Czech Republic stands proudly in the center of...

Pros: Cheap, Beautiful, Fun
Cons: Somewhat Difficult to Communicate

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

I have visited Prague twice since 1997, most recently the summer of 2000. The weather was absolutely beautiful during the day with a slight chill apparent at night. During the day there...

Pros: beauty, culture
Cons: pick-pocketing

Prague is as enchanting as myriad writers have described. It is a treasure-house of culture and beauty. The Czech people are friendly and kind, but it is essential that tourists understand that pick-pocketing is at near-epidemic proportions in Prague....

Pros: Not too crowded and full of culture
Cons: Shady cab drivers

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

I lived the charmed life of a study abroad student this past summer. One of my weekend exploits was to Prague (Praha), Czech Republic. It was my last trip before returning to the U.S....

Pros: The food and the sights
Cons: It's frustrating trying to remember the Czech names of places

I just returned from a trip to central Europe. Prague was our first stop, which meant we flew into the airport there. The airport is very nice and one great thing about the Czech Republic is that everyone I've met there understands that most people...

Pros: Beautiful, Truly Beautiful City Different Culture No real language barrier Cheap
Cons: So many pros=So many tourists

Prague is a great city. It is a beautiful city. It straddles, precariously, the border between east and west. I spent a very enjoyable week there.
Our first full day, we took a city day in the morning and then spent the afternoon in Old Town. The...

Pros: Beautiful Disney-like architecture, still cheap, friendly people
Cons: too many tourists in the summer

Prague reminded me of Disneyland--stunningly beautiful architecture and crowds of people everywhere. Prague in the summer is swarmed with tourists like an anthill with ants. One can hardly walk in the center of Prague without bumping into somebody....

Pros: cheap, accommodating, restaurant
Cons: uphill, no Internet access

My friends and I stayed at an incredible hostel in Prague that was recommended by the Hostels of Europe Card(see my review under Travel Discounts). The Clown and Bard is located at Borivojova 102 which is at the top of an enormous hill. This translates...

Pros: Tourists still relatively small in numbers...
Cons: ...but not for long.

Think of early twentieth century depictions of Paris from novels and films. Think of majestic gothic spires jutting upwards from the cityscape, with nary a rectangular rooftop to be seen. Imagine strolling along the banks of a timeless river, while the...

Pros: City of Beauty
Cons: Thieves Galore!

Prague or Praha as it is also known is a place that encompasses everything! Prague can easily handle the extreme budget travel $6 dollars a night to $250 dollars a night at the fanciest hotels. The city itself is very beautiful and there are many...

Pros: Affordable and beautiful
Cons: Accommodation prices may be high

Alright, I know most people have certain thoughts when it comes to Eastern Europe, namely those going back to the Cold War. Granted, these thoughts were valid for the countries caught in Communism, but now times are different.

On a weekend...

Pros: cheap food, crossbow exhibit, museums
Cons: old apartments

During the late spring of 1998, I ventured forth to a new land filled with Pilsner Urquel (Czech beer) and dumplings to your heart's delight. At that time the beer cost approximately 25 cents per bottle in the markets and the dumplings (it's a lot of...

Pros: You don't have to take the cabs.
Cons: Trying to rip you of, may threaten your health.

Disclaimer: This opinion is mainly about the Prague cab services, and not about Prague itself. The rating is adjusted according to that. Even though I recognize that Prague is a beautiful city, well worth visiting, two stars and a "not...

Pros: Historical and Beautiful City, Many Price ranges for food an lodging to choose from, no lack of items for a tourist agenda
Cons: Congestion of Tourists during summer periods in some areas of the city.

I visited Prague in 1996 and 1998 and was totally captivated by this city. I do not know the hotels as I stayed at a private apartment (check with travel agents who specialize in the Czech Republic, many people rent out apartments to tourists, its a...
