A Prague city break offers a unique European experience. Baroque palaces, Gothic churches and winding cobbled streets give Prague a wonderful ‘olde worlde’ atmosphere. That intoxicating charm is brought sparklingly up to date in streets such as Parizska, where designer boutiques abound. Luxury shopping is also available in and around the city’s most popular meeting place and a must-see on a Prague city break, Wenceslas Square. This glorious landmark houses bars, hotels and fine restaurants with international menus. Traditional dishes such as pork and dumplings served with sauerkraut are also widely available around the city.
Drinking is a favourite pastime in Prague. There is an abundance of cafes and tea-rooms but, with a host of breweries in the city, beer – or ‘liquid bread’ as it is fondly nick-named – is ingrained in the local culture. The beer halls and pubs have become a part of the city’s character and prove a big draw for midweek and weekend breaks to Prague.
Walking around Prague to take in the sights is a wonderful experience but there is also a good choice of other options available. Inexpensive but efficient public transport runs well into the evening, while in the picturesque Old Town Square horse-drawn carriages can be hired. Boats trips, some of them offering candle-lit dinners, can also be taken on the Vltava River as it meanders its way through the city.
With an excellent range of accommodation available, city breaks to Prague are hugely popular throughout the year. Prague mini-break deals appeal for a variety of reasons, and whatever your motivation check availability first at The Co-operative Travel – you could grab a fantastic bargain trip to this wonderful Czech city.
