Our residences here are restored historic buildings and refined modern apartments in the quarters that put all of it within a few minutes on foot.

The Area

Prague's historic core is compact and almost entirely pedestrian. The Old Town centres on its great square with the Astronomical Clock and the twin towers of Tyn Church, and spills into the former Jewish quarter of Josefov with its synagogues and art nouveau avenues. Across Charles Bridge, Mala Strana climbs the hill to the Castle through baroque palaces, hidden gardens and the island of Kampa. South of the centre, Vinohrady and Vrsovice are the residential districts locals favour, with tree-lined streets, Riegrovy Sady park and a dense concentration of cafes, wine bars and bistros. The river runs through all of it, with embankment markets at weekends, boat trips in summer and swans beneath the bridges in winter.

Where to Stay

For first visits, a residence in the Old Town or Josefov puts the Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge and the Rudolfinum within five minutes on foot, and many of our apartments here occupy restored nineteenth-century buildings with high stuccoed ceilings and views over the rooftops. Mala Strana is quieter after dark and closer to the Castle gardens and Petrin Hill, well suited to couples and to guests who prefer a village feel in the heart of the city. Vinohrady works beautifully for longer stays and for families, with larger floor plans, parks, playgrounds and the city's best neighbourhood dining a short tram ride from the centre. Wherever you stay, our concierge meets you on arrival and is on hand throughout.

Things to Do

Cross Charles Bridge at dawn, when the statues stand alone in the mist, and climb to the Castle for St Vitus Cathedral, the Golden Lane and the gardens below the southern walls. Prague's musical life is exceptional: the Czech Philharmonic plays in the Rudolfinum, opera and ballet at the National and Estates theatres, and chamber concerts fill baroque churches almost nightly. Art lovers have the Mucha Museum, the Trade Fair Palace of the National Gallery and the DOX centre for contemporary art. Walk Petrin Hill for the orchards and the lookout tower, take a boat through the locks, or explore the Vysehrad fortress and its cemetery of composers and writers. Day trips reach the spa colonnades of Karlovy Vary, the castle town of Cesky Krumlov and the sandstone arches of Bohemian Switzerland, all arranged with a private driver by our concierge.

Dining & Nightlife

Prague's restaurant scene has grown up fast. Alongside the classic beer halls serving svickova, roast pork and dumplings, a group of chef-led restaurants now works with Czech farms, forests and rivers to produce seasonal tasting menus that have earned international recognition. Vinohrady and Karlin are the districts for bistros, natural wine bars and specialty coffee; the Old Town has the grand cafes, the cocktail bars and the hotel terraces. Beer remains the heart of it: tank pubs pour unpasteurised Pilsner within days of brewing, and small Czech breweries fill the taps across the city. For an evening at home, our concierge arranges private chefs and sommeliers, and for nights out, tables at the restaurants that book out weeks ahead.

When to Visit

Late spring is Prague at its best, with blossom on Petrin Hill, river terraces open and the Prague Spring festival filling the concert halls from mid May. Summer is warm, busy and festive, with open-air cinema on the islands and long evenings on the embankment. September and October bring golden light, wine festivals and the Signal light festival, with the main sights far calmer than in high summer. The Christmas markets on Old Town Square run from late November into the new year and turn the city into a postcard, particularly from a terrace above the rooftops. Winter proper is cold and clear, ideal for concerts, museums and quiet walks across an almost empty Charles Bridge.

Getting There

Vaclav Havel Airport Prague lies to the west of the city, around thirty minutes from the centre by car, with direct flights from most European cities and from the Middle East and North America. Our concierge arranges private transfers that meet guests at arrivals. Direct trains connect Prague's main station, a short walk from Wenceslas Square, with Vienna in about four hours, Berlin in around four and a half and Munich in about five and a half. Within the city, the historic quarters are best explored on foot; trams and the metro are efficient for Vinohrady and the galleries across the river, and a chauffeur-driven car can be arranged for day trips into Bohemia.
