- Prague Castle is the most popular sight visited in Prague. It is the largest ancient castle in the world (570m long, 128m wide, and area of 7.28 hectares).

Out on the Town:
If you're after an unforgettable boozy night on the town, you've come to the right place: Prague is jam packed with local and visiting party animals and the town's night life is nothing short of electric. From amazing outdoor nightclubs with pools and spas to seedy neighbourhood pubs, Prague has got it all. Beer lovers are also in for a treat as Czech beer is renowned for being not only cheap but of world beating quality. Some of the most popular local brands include Staropramen, Pilsner Urquell, Gambrinus, and Budweiser (Budvar). Visitors to the city usually head to the Old Town area which offers more pubs, clubs and bars than you can shake a pickled cabbage at.
Daytime Activities:
Visitors to Prague will have plenty of opportunity to get out in the stunning Czech countryside to enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities. Your stag party can fire up a bit of friendly competition by getting stuck into the likes of paintballing, karting, clay pigeon shooting, rafting and quad biking. Each activity will allow you the opportunity to not only have brilliant fun, but to also appreciate the special atmosphere that is unique to the Czech Republic's outdoor areas.
Weather:
Between May and September Prague has average daily highs in the mid 20°Cs. Rainfall is fairly regular throughout the year and the snowy winters can be quite bleak.
Currency:
The national currency is the Czech Crown (Kc / CZK). £1 = 43CZK (approx.).
Transport:
Prague has a well serviced and reasonably cheap public transport network of buses and trams. Visitors to the city are warned that pickpockets abound on public transport, so keep your money somewhere safe. Trams are the easiest way to travel around the city centre, however the area is easily travelled on foot. Taxi drivers in Prague are notorious for ripping off tourists. Your best bet is to phone a reputable taxi company to order a taxi as hailing one off the street can be a risky proposition. The starting rate should be about 25Kc, and 20Kc per kilometre after that. From central Prague, a ride to the airport should cost no more than 400Kc; a short ride in the city centre should be about 130Kc, a ride to one of the surrounding districts up to 200Kc.
