The Hitch to Prague offers the chance to relax, to take in some culture and to party til dawn!

Prague is an extremely beautiful city. It has over six hundred years of architecture virtually untouched by war or natural disaster, despite the odd flood courtesy of the River Vltava which runs through the heart of the city.

Due to the existence of the Iron Curtain, Prague was a city rarely visited by westerners - however, since the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and increasingly through the 1990s, that has changed.

Things not to miss ...

The Café Culture

Prague is famed for its bohemian, kafkaesque café culture and tea-houses, and you can spend all day relaxing alongside the banks of the river watching the world go by and enjoying the delicious cakes on offer.

The City

At the heart of old town is Staroměstské náměstí, one of the most magnificent squares in Europe and, of course, the famous mediaeval Charles Bridge. The confusing web of narrow streets around this area, house an array of interesting cafés, bars, pubs and restaurants. Take in the hustle and bustle of the winding alleyways or lose the crowds in the matrix of back streets and check out the interesting gothic architecture. In the evening discover a wide variety of entertainment from classical music and puppet shows to hardcore clubbing.

The Beer!

You can't escape the fact that many people visit Prague due to the fame of its beer. Czech beer ranks among the best in the world and the country remains the true home of most of the lager drunk around the world today. Home of Pilsen and Budvar, the city is a beer drinker's paradise especially as it is so cheap! For an authentic experience head off the tourist trail to one of the traditional Czech pubs (pivnice) designed for drinking copious amounts of Czech beer! If beer isn't your thing then Prague is also one of the few countries in the world that legally sells that lethal green spirit - absinthe, which at 70/80% can blow your head off!
