We visited Prague in November and stayed at The Emblem Hotel close to Old Town Square. Its central position made the principal districts easy to explore on foot; a rooftop spa terrace offered a quieter view over the centre.
Day one: Old Town
Old Town Square brings together the Týn Church, Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. From here, Celetná leads towards the Powder Tower and Municipal House, while Melantrichova continues towards Wenceslas Square.
Charles Bridge is most enjoyable early in the morning or later at night, when movement across the river slows. The bridge towers offer elevated views towards Prague Castle and the Old Town. Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, contains historic synagogues, the cemetery and Ceremonial Hall.
Day two: Malá Strana and the Castle
Across the bridge, Malá Strana opens around narrow streets and Malostranské náměstí. Kampa Island provides a riverside walk below the bridge; the Lennon Wall introduces a changing layer of colour and messages.
The Prague Castle complex includes palaces, churches and courtyards rather than a single building. Hradčanské náměstí has a broad view over the city, and Strahov Monastery adds a historic library farther uphill.
Day three: New Town
Despite its name, Nové Město dates from the fourteenth century. Wenceslas Square remains its central axis, surrounded by shops, restaurants and transport connections. Beside the Vltava, the Dancing House provides a clear modern contrast to Prague’s historic architecture.
The stay was hosted by The Emblem Hotel. The account and opinions remain my own.
