Prague 1 is the historic heart of the Czech capital, taking in the old town, the river and the most photographed corners of the city. UK couples and families choose it for a compact, walkable break full of grand architecture, cobbled lanes and lively squares.

Staying central here means you can step out of your hotel straight into the main sights, which makes a short break feel relaxed rather than rushed.

Where to stay in Prague 1

There is a good range of central options. The Sir Prague Hotel, part of the Sircle Collection, is a five star boutique hotel in the city centre. Praga 1 offers four star apartment-style accommodation in central Prague, handy for self-catering, and the Iron Gate Hotel & Suites is a five star luxury hotel in the historic centre.

Getting there and when to go

Prague's airport has frequent direct flights from across the UK, with quick transfers into the centre. The city works all year. Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant for walking, summer is warm and busy, and winter is cold but atmospheric, with the festive markets a popular draw.

Getting around and the sights

Prague 1 is best explored on foot, with the old town, the river bridges and the castle district all within easy reach. Trams and the metro fill any gaps. The historic centre is dense with squares, churches and viewpoints, so plan to wander as much as tick off a list.

Food and things to do

Czech cooking leans hearty, with roast meats, dumplings and famously good local beer in traditional pubs, alongside plenty of international options. Beyond the landmarks you can enjoy river cruises, classical concerts and browsing the centre's shops and cafes.

Who it suits

Prague 1 suits couples after a romantic, walkable city break and families who want lots of sights close together. It is a city escape rather than a beach holiday.
