Prague

I have lots of questions!!

Has anyone ever been?
When is a good time of year to go?
Can I do both Prague & Vienna in a weeks time?

Thanks!!!

Re: Prague

I can't really answer all your questions, but can say that my parents did Prague and Vienna on the same trip in a week (but they only had to travel from Ireland). They took a sleeper train from Prague to Vienna and loved it! I know Prague is supposed to be amazing, but they actually preferred Vienna.

Oh, and they went in October and the weather was fine - not too cold or anything.

Re: Prague

My niece JUST got back from Prague on Saturday. She says it is the most beautiful place she has ever been -- and she is very well travelled.

My brother and his wife are living in Sarajevo, so they met up with my niece in Prague for a week. They actually rented an apartment so I can't get any hotel info. But I can ask her what her favorite things were (she's a very mature and worldly 22, she will give good advice).

I know she talked about the amazing churches, and a concert they went to that was wonderful.... I will get details if you wish.


PS - She says it was cold and rainy, so I wouldn't go in April. Maybe May, June? And about Vienna -- you can probably do both. I spent 4 days in Vienna and it was great - I got to see a lot.

Re: Prague

Update -- my mom just told me she is taking my sister on a cruise of the Danube --- Vienna and Prague!! Next month (May). I am soooooooooooooooooooooo totally jealous!!!

When do you plan to go???

Re: Prague

OMG Kara that sounds wonderful!!!!

Do you have any information on the cruise that you can share? DH seems a little skeptical about this trip....but he may like the cruise idea.

We didn't have any specific timetable on when to go......just sometime in '07.

Thanks for all your help!

Re: Prague

All I know is they are going with Grand Circel Travel next month and they got the last cabin available... I will try to get more info.

Prague is beautiful and so is Vienna. We went in September and had great weather in Prague, but rain in Vienna. I think you could do both in a weeks time. 2 nights in Prague is good and 2 or 3 nights in Vienna is fine as well. I thought Prague was gorgeous and so was Vienna. If you go to Vienna have a Sacher Torte, they are so yummy. We had friends in from Vienna over the weekend and they brought us one, hmmmm so good.

Re: Prague

I went summer of 2004 with my mom. The day after we got there we went to an Internet cafe and booked a hotel in Vienna - then took a brief (3 hrs I believe) train ride for the night. You def. can do both in a week.

Re: Prague

Did you book yet? I went there about 8 years ago when the dollar was really strong - we had a three-course meal with drinks for $10! We were there at Christmastime and it was absolutely wonderful! There was an outdoor market set up selling Christmas ornaments and a stage set up with a children's choir, with Christmas decorations all around. It was the coldest I've ever been in my life but definitely worth it. It's so beautiful there and we went to a few clubs at night - lots of fun. The language was a bit tough, but we got through it, just pointing at maps and things on the menu. I definitely recommend going there!

Re: Prague

No, we haven't booked yet!! Still trying to figure out when its best for us to go.

I'm loving all your positive feedback - keep 'em coming!!
