Ok great thanks; Validate ticket...check

We are staying at the Cloister Inn and we go mid March...I'm guessing it will be the same climate as here?

Thanks for your help

I've just googled your hotel and I would say that it is close enough to Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square and the 'long shop filled museum street' that you won't need to use the tube that much (unless either of you have mobility problems of course) so stick to the one day ticket as and when you need it unless you are taking children with you when the 3 day ticket lets children travel free.

I can't comment of the weather in March as I've only gone in August when it can get quite hot but I have seen photos of lots of snow in the winter. Hope you have fun!

Been to Prague four times, in 2000, 2006, 2009 and 2010, prices have gone steadily up, from 19p a pint in 2000 to £1 a pint in 2010, but for 3 days, you should be fine with £200.

When my husband first went to live and work in Prague, 2001, there were 60kr to the £1. Now it is more like 25Kr to the £1. Prices have also gone up since the Czech Republic entered the EU.

However, if you move away from the main tourist drag, prices are still better than the UK. You really only need to go back a street or two to find inexpensive bars and restaurants.

There is one big drawback for me in Prague and that is smoking. They all seem to do it all the time! Even whilst eating. It is very difficult to find smoke free restaurants although I would imagine the top class international restaurants may be different. We do not frequent such places!

We have a flat near Obecni Dum which is only about a five minute walk to Old Town Square but there are cheap places to eat and drink near to us.
