Q: What country is Prague in?

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic . Formerly called Bohemia, the Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Hilly, green, and blessed with beautiful rivers like the Vlatava, it's a nature lover's haven. While there are highly urbanised regions, there are many swathes of well-kept green landscapes, including four national parks and 25 protected landscape areas. Because of its strategic location, the Czech Republic has a colourful past that's contributed to its diverse culture. From the earliest settlers in the Paleolithic age to the more recent split from Slovakia in 1993, these changes have helped mould the Czech Republic's identity, especially in the arts. To date, the country has 16 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and six Nobel Prize recipients.

Question 1

How do you get to Prague from the airport?

Accepted Answer

There are various ways to get to Prague from the airport, and the good news is they all take less than half an hour. The cheapest option is to take the bus, which has stops right outside the terminal, except you may have to transfer to the subway to get to the inner city. If you're in a bit of a rush and don't mind the extra cost, you can also take the Airport Express bus. This has the added advantage of taking you straight to the city centre.

Alternatively, you could also hire a taxi, since they usually have several queues outside the terminal. This offers you some privacy, but remember, getting caught during rush hour can bump up the cost. To make things easier, you can always arrange for an airport transferwith easyJet.

Question 2

What food is Prague famous for?

Accepted Answer

Prague's most famous dishes are hearty and filling—perfect for the chilly European climate. If you're looking for a sweet treat, nearly every street has a vendor selling Tredelnik or chimney cake. Aptly named for its oversized tubular shape, this golden brown pastry is brushed with butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and sometimes filled with other sweet or savoury stuffings. Looking for something a bit meatier? Svíčková is a beef tenderloin stew in a thick vegetable cream sauce, served with dumplings to soak up the flavour. In the city's Jewish quarter, you can also find duck-based versions. Feeling peckish? Prague's cuisine is known for having great finger foods. One plant-based option is Brambraki, which are cabbage pancakes eaten with a garlic yoghurt dipping sauce.

If you're in the mood for a drink, Prague is known for its spirits. One local drink you should definitely toast with is Becherovka. Described as sweet and herbaceous, with notes of clove and chamomile, this drink is served year-round. Just don't ask anyone for the ingredients—the recipe for Becherovka is a highly prized secret that only a few authorised brewers are privy to.

Question 4

Is Prague cheap or expensive?

Accepted Answer

Contrary to the perception of being expensive, Prague is actually quite affordable, especially when compared to many Western European destinations. While it may seem pricey relative to other cities in Eastern Europe, the overall expenses in Prague, including food, drink, and accommodation, are generally lower than in cities like London or Paris.

Prague's affordability is one of its many charms, offering a variety of options for travellers on a budget. The city is renowned for its inexpensive yet delightful food and drink options, allowing visitors to indulge in local cuisine without a hefty price tag. The cost of visiting Prague can vary significantly depending on the season. Travelling during the off-peak periods, from March to May and September to October, can lead to significant savings. During these months, not only are flights more economical, but accommodations and attractions also tend to offer discounts, making it easier to enjoy all that Prague has to offer without overspending.

By planning your visit during these leaner seasons, you can experience the rich history and vibrant culture of Prague, enjoy its delicious food and unique beers, and explore its picturesque streets and landmarks, all while maintaining a budget-friendly approach.

Question 5

What's the currency in Prague?

Accepted Answer

The official currency of Prague is the Czech koruna (also called Crown). That said, certain places with a more international clientele, think hotels, do accept Euros. If you prefer to pay with a debit or credit card, many places in the city accept cashless transactions. Nevertheless, it's better to have paper money exchanged into the local currency since a lot of smaller places and experiences will only accept cash.

Question 6

What language do they speak in Prague?

Accepted Answer

Similar to the rest of the country, the language mainly used in Prague is Czech. But since Prague is a popular tourist destination, you can also get by with just English. Most places will have English translations on their signs or menus, and many locals can understand conversational English. It doesn't hurt to know a few Czech greetings, like Dobr&yacute; den, which is a polite greeting used at all times of the day.

Question 7

What's the flight time from London to Prague?

Accepted Answer

Generally, the average flight time from London to Prague is under two hours. If you're flying from outside London, though, you can expect flight time to run a little longer. Presently, easyJet offers multiple direct flights from the UK to Prague. This includes flights coming from London Gatwick, London Luton, Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh.
