Yes my sister, my friend and I are coming tomorrow to Prague. We are going to be there for thursday night, friday, saturday and leave on sunday morning. What would you recommend to see? One day for old town sq., charles bridge, and second day for the castle? We are staying at the Tivoli hotel, is that a good location close to places? Also if you know what clubs are near that hotel or if that hotel is near Wencel. Sq. (sp?)? We are a bit worried about transportation after the clubs, if the hotel is within walking distance of most of them or if the trams can take us.. Any last minute help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much..

I think your schedule of one day for the castle and one day for the old town is right, although I would do the castle area on the first day, rather than on the second as it is less busy on a Friday than on a Saturday.
From the Tivoli, go to the tram station at IP Pavlova metro and take either the 22 or 23 tram down the hill and all the way up to the castle. Don%26#39;t get off at the castle stop, but stay on it and get off two stops later at Pohorelec (the tram will go round a sharp corner and you will see the Savoy Hotel by the tramstop). Then you can also see the Strahov monastery, the Loretta and the upper castle area, which most tourists miss. There is a good Czech restaurnat right in front of the Loretta which is good for lunch.
although you can walk into town from the Tivoli, it will take 30 minutes and the walk back is uphill, so you may want to buy a 3 day transport ticket from the Prague Transport Authority offices which you will see in the arrivals hall at the airport when you clear customs. A 3 day ticket costs 220 crowns.
If you want to club, Radost in Belehradska near IP Pavlova metro is arguably the best club in town and you can walk home afterwards without worrying about taxis, night trams, etc.
Weekend will be not above zero with colder in the night. Streets are still mucky with snow so bring boots you are not afraid to muck up and with a good grip as the pavements are slippery

Any suggestions for 2 or 3 good clubs within the area-- thanks again for all of your help!

Saturday 80%26#39;s disco night at Lucerna Music bar on Vodickova halfway down Wenceslas Square is legendary.
What%26#39;s wrong with Radost?
|||
Oh, nothing wrong with Radost at all! I was actually planning on going to that place one night, I%26#39;ve heard lots of good things about it. I just thinking that we definetly want to go to a different club every night, just to check out different scenes instead of going to the same club every night the whole weekend.
|||
My sister (she%26#39;s been to prague before) actually mention some club that was the %26#39;largest in central europe%26#39; and she thinks that it might start with an %26#39;l%26#39; but she%26#39;s not sure.. have you heard of that one? Is it good? Sorry to have bothered you again!
|||
prague has nice cakes :)
|||
Karlovy Lazne is what your sister is referring to. Almost next door to it is another club called Lavka
|||
Would you recommend those clubs or no? I%26#39;m planning on going to Radost on Fri and Lucerna (sp?) on Sat... so I%26#39;m trying to think of a place for Thursday.. my sister suggested one of those places or Mecca. Just wanted to get your input. Also, where I%26#39;m from - Austin, TX, most bars are next door to each other and it%26#39;s really easy to just walk out of the bar and walk into another one. Is prague like this? Can you club hop pretty easily or are they in different areas to where it%26#39;s hard to?
|||
Karlovy Lazne and Lavka are much more touristy than Radost. Mecca is arguably the clubbing star of Prague, but it is a long way out and Holesovice is not the best area to be in when the metro and trams have stopped running.
Prague as a capital city is probably a little bit bigger than Austin and whilst the nightlife bunches together, the bunches are in different areas of the city. One of the largest concentrations of nightlife and bars is around the Dlouha, V Kolkovne, Jakubska traingle where you will find Bombay Cocktail Bar, Chateau, Ocean Drive and Tretters, none of them clubs per se, but playing good music all within a short walk of eachother

Any recommendations for cheap eats?? Thanks so much for all the help, if I have any last minute questions i%26#39;ll be sure to post!
