A Hedonist's Guide to Prague
Prague is one of the most majestic and mysterious cities in Europe, however behind the facade lies a stylish and hip bar and restaurant scene. We sent Paul Sullivan (also author of Hg2 Marrakech) to this 'city of a hundred spires' to seek out the best 'off the beaten track' venues.
'Granted, Prague's beautiful, but hasn't it been taken over by drunken lads on stag nights ?' I hear you ask
Cheap flights, cheap booze and the proliferation of adult clubs have made Prague a popular destination for marauding stag parties but discerning visitors should not be alarmed. Hg2 Prague steers you into the empyrean embrace of Prague’s more bespoke realms - amidst the stunning architecture and medieval streets are stylish boutique hotels, sophisticated cafés, trendy cocktail bars, classy restaurants and cutting-edge clubs free of groups of lads in matching shirts.
How long should I stay for?
Prague is perfect for a weekend break. A compact city, all the interesting museums and churches are within walking distance of each other with plenty of great eateries en route. To enjoy the city at its finest, spend some time wandering the cobbled lanes and exploring the nooks and crannies. The city’s diversions may lie in its new breed of designer venues, but its history can be found within the streets and houses, churches and statues.
When should I go?
Prague has different charms all year round. The most popular time to visit is from May-October when the sun comes out and temperatures rise - however, you will be sharing the city with a lot of other visitors in summer months. Autumn brings cool breezes, fewer crowds and the beauty of the leaves changing colour. Winter and early spring can be pretty miserable, with grey skies and cold weather, but the medieval streets and Gothic architecture rather lend themselves to the misty romance of these conditions.
Where should I stay?
Prague today offers a full range of sleeping options for the discerning visitor, from Art Nouveau grandes dames and luxury chains to intimate town houses, pseudo-palaces and designer hideaways - many marrying elegant architecture with stylish design and top facilities. Top picks are the sophisticated Carlo IV, the stylish Aria, the opulent Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa and the design hotel Josef.
Booking it couldn't be easier, just click here! As an added incentive, many of our hotels offer Hg2 guests special offers and we will also send you a free Hg2 guide to the city when you book through us.
What should I take?
* A camera - Prague is extremely photogenic
* A loved one - the spires and small cobbled streets are very romantic
* Hg2 Prague, of course!
All that remains is to book your flight and have a wonderful weekend!
