We will be in Prague in early April and are going to be staying at the Golden Well. This appears to be right next to the Charles Bridge and should be ideal for sightseeing on both sides of the river. Any thoughts about this hotel? It appears to be quite charming.
Looking forward to our trip.
|
ANSWER:
If I went to Prague as a tourist than I would stay in that hotel. The views you get from there are tremendous. Enjoy your stay.

What are the rules on tipping in Prague? Do you tip at the
hotels, cabs, restaurants? If so, how much?
|
ANSWER:
You don't have to tip, nobody will be rude to you for it. However it is considered to be of a good manner to tip. In the restaurants we tip about 10%. In the cabs you usually don't require the coins back. In the hotels it is the same as anywhere else in the world.

I am trying to fix up a casual english teaching job. Though a little inexperienced, I do have a TESL certificate. As long as accomodations were available, salary would be very reasonable. Is this a probable situation in Prague?
Thanks for your time.
|
| ANSWER: Yes, you can teach English in Prague. If you work for the private sector you will get a very reasonable salary. The state schools pay a lot less, but they will try to arrange an accommodation for you. |

CSA has a bus to Bruno from the airport. I have heard there are other bus
companys and destinations. Does anyone have any information? Names and
websites?? I would rather save a trip to the bus station in the city.
|
| ANSWER: If you don't want to travel to the center, take the CSA bus. Otherwise go to Florenc (that is the main bus station in Prague). More info can be found on this web site www.jizdnirady.cz. Don't forget to use the Czech names for the cities: Praha, Brno. |

How you call the citizens of PRAGUE ??
like Parisian from Paris.
|
| ANSWER: That is a good question. I never thought about it and I never heard an English name for citizens of Prague. In Czech it is "Prazane". |

I am a Vajra/Mahayana Buddhist of the Sakya lineage, and will be
moving to Prague this October. I am hoping to find a sangha that
practices in English, or a very tolerant Czech speaking one, as my Czech
vocabulary is VERY limited. Does anyone have any suggestions?
|
| ANSWER: Try to address the Czech Buddhist community
info@budhismus.cz. I'm sure they will be able to help you. |

i'm visiting prague next week with a few friends. i was just
wondering if the language barrier is going to be a problem in Prague. i
was also wondering what clubs are the best?
|
ANSWER: No. The language barrier is not a problem at all. We know that Czech is a very hard language and therefor we are taught at least two foreign languages at school. English and German are the most common.
We are preparing a new section about Prague night life, it should be up at the beginning of April. Roxy and Radost FX are probably the best clubs in Prague.

saw a tv show about americans living in prague.want to know what
the living expences are?food prices,houses,apts etc.i know it's hard to
compare depending where you live in the U.S. and the same in czech.I have
visited germany and it was clean,frendly and safe.thinking about living
abroad(one day).any help would be of help.thax
|
| ANSWER: Since I haven't seen the TV show about Americans living in Prague, I don't know what exactly they said. If you have visited Germany you might have got an idea how it is in Europe. It is almost the same in the Czech Republic except for the fact that Prague is a lot better than any city in Germany. Maybe it would help you to visit Prague for a few days before deciding to move here.

We are attending the International Speech Tournament in March. How close is the Hotel Pariz to the Hilton Artium? Team is split between the two.
|
| ANSWER: It is quite close to each other. I would say about ten minutes away if you take the tram. Click on this map and instead of "mala mapa" choose "velka mapa" (that means big map). Hotel Hilton is where you see the green point and in the left corner, just across nam. Republiky you will find hotel Pariz.

FROM PRAGUE, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET INTO THE MTNS. FOR SKIING OTHER THAN RENTING A CAR?
|
| ANSWER: It depends where you want to go. I guess you meant Krkonose. The best way is to take a bus from Florenc. It costs 142 CZK and it takes about 3,5 hour to get there. If you go to www.vlak-bus.cz you will see all the available connections.

hi great site, how much do you need roughly, for a couple of 18/19 year olds for 1 week(money)?food,heavy night life+hostels+sights?
|
ANSWER: Here are prices for a person/day. Food: Budget meal: US$2-5, Restaurant meal: US$4-10. Accommodation (hostel): US$10-20. Heavy night life : US$12-20 and sights+ public transportation: US$6-10.
It looks like it is quite a lot of money. But if you choose a good hostel and don't have every meal in a restaurant, you can spend a lot less. On the other hand you can spend a lot more, it is very easy to do so.

Hi! A really great site!!! Anyway I'll be in Prague this month. I heard a lot about Prague's night life, but can you give me some particular advice? Interestig places to hang out etc'... :)
Thanx A lot.
|
| ANSWER: Sure I can. The best place where to go (the place I like the most) is Roxy. Also very good places are PALAC AKROPOLIS, MECCA and RADOST FX. A lot of tourists go to Karlovy lazne (it is very close to the Charles Bridge). I just mentioned those four clubs, but there are tons of places where to go :). You can check out the program of the clubs by clicking on this link. Enjoy your stay!

We are visiting February 2001, we are aged 40 years, could you recommend any jazz clubs and restaurants. Thanks for the previous information it is extremly useful.
|
| ANSWER: No problem. Probably the best-known jazz club in Prague and one of the priciest (thanks in part to Bill Clinton who blew his horn here on a visit several years ago) is REDUTA JAZZ BAR. (see the program by clicking on this link and choose clubs). Also good ones are JAZZ CLUB "U STARÉ PANÍ", JAZZ CLUB ŽELEZNÁ and UNGELT. Restaurants? That is a tough question. Maybe you would be interested in visiting New town brewery (Novomestsky pivovar) in Vodickova 20. You can have a meal there and you can also have a tour of the brewery with an expert commentary and samplings of the beer they make there.

I will be in Prague 020201 could you tell me how to get from the airport to KInsky Gardens Hotel using public transport and could you recommend a reputable taxi firm.
|
ANSWER: OK. Get a 12 crown ticket at the airport. Take the bus 119 to Dejvicka. Everybody will go to Dejvicka, so just stay with the crowd. There get in the metro and go to Mustek. At Mustek get out and take the tram number nine . Which way? Look at the timetable and you need to see the name "Ujezd" there. Count four stations and the fifth one is yours. You are almost there just walk for a few minutes.
A good taxi firm is AAA taxi or Profi taxi. Do not take the official airport taxi.

I have been in Prague about 5 years ago and it is beautiful. I will be returning there this summer with my family. There was a resturant called the architects resturant. It was in a basement with no windows and oil lamps for lighting. This was my favorite resturant in Prague. Is it still there? Can anyone give me the address?
thanks
|
ANSWER: I was trying to find out where the requested restaurant is, and I did not succeed. Even in the Yellow pages there is nothing about this restaurant. However it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist anymore. It might have changed its name or something. Hopefully you will find it when you get here...
One of our visitors sent me an email that this restaurant still EXISTS. It is called U Arkitektu and is located at Betlemske Namesti not far from TESCO in the center.

I am a Brit living in Prague and would like to take up snowboarding at the weekends. Where should I go to arrange accommodation and board hire as a first step?
|
ANSWER: Good choice, I love skiing and snowboarding :). You can hire your board in Prague before you go (there is a good place on Koh-i-nor; trams 22, 23, 4); this way it is cheaper, but you have to travel with it and there is not a big choice. Or you can hire it directly in the skiing center- they have more snowboards to choose from and if you don't like it, you can easily exchange it for another type. To arrange your accommodation- you can easily choose a hotel/pension you like by visiting a search engine and type in the name of the center (ex. pec+pod+snezkou+ubytovani, spindleruv+mlyn+ubytovani) and you will get a list of various offers.
PS: If you are an advanced snowboarder and want to snowboard off the slopes, I have a good tip for you. Book your accommodation in chata Na vysluni and you can snowboard almost from the highest mountain in CZ (there are no lifts).

I will be coming to Prague in April, 2001. I like to travel by bus because it is less expensive and more scenic. I will be coming from Frankfurt or Vienna or Warsaw. I will be going to Frankfurt or Vienna or Warsaw when I leave. Any tips? I have never taken buses in central/eastern Europe before.
|
| ANSWER: Buses are OK. I would say, they are almost the same as in Western Europe and a lot safer than in the US. And they are quite cheap, too. International bus routes are run by Eurolines, and usually you travel overnight. If you click on the link, it will take you to Eurolines web page where you will get a lot of useful info, plus you can book your tickets there. Good luck!!
