Prague is Czechia's capital, built on both banks of the Vltava. Its historic visitor core links Old Town and New Town on the east bank with Malá Strana and Prague Castle on the west through a sequence of squares, bridges and steep streets. The preserved centre carries medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and later architecture in close succession, while districts such as Holešovice, Karlín and Žižkov reveal the industrial and residential city beyond the postcard core. Most first visits combine walking in the centre with public transport to outer districts.

How the city is laid out
The Vltava and the ridge below Prague Castle organise the centre. Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter and Wenceslas Square sit east of the river; Charles Bridge crosses to Malá Strana, where streets climb toward the castle. New Town wraps around the medieval core rather than forming a separate modern centre. Beyond it, Holešovice lies north, Karlín northeast and Žižkov east of the central station. These outer districts are best treated as individual routes, while Old Town, Charles Bridge and Malá Strana can be joined on foot if steep sections are manageable.

Getting around
Walk through the historic centre and use Prague Integrated Transport for longer or steeper journeys. Metro, trams, buses, trains and ferries operate within the integrated system; the three colour-coded metro lines form its backbone and trams are especially useful across the central districts. Ticket validity is time-based and transfers are allowed within the ticket period. Paper tickets that require validation must be stamped once at the start, not again during transfers. Consult PID or Prague City Tourism for current fares, disruptions and accessibility details.

Common questions
How many days should I spend in Prague?
A fixed stay length is not recorded. Divide the visit between Old Town and New Town, the west-bank castle and Malá Strana, then an outer district such as Holešovice, Karlín or Žižkov.
Which side of the river holds Prague Castle?
Prague Castle and Malá Strana are on the west bank of the Vltava. Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, New Town and the main railway station are on the east side.
Should I use trams or the metro?
Use the metro for longer cross-city links and trams for many central and hillside routes. Walking remains the best way to connect sights inside the historic core.
How do Prague transport tickets work?
Ticket validity is based on time rather than the number of transfers. A paper ticket that requires validation is stamped once at the beginning and not stamped again when changing services.
Is the historic centre flat?
No. Old Town is comparatively level, but routes through Malá Strana toward Prague Castle climb. Use a tram when steep streets or mobility constraints make the full walk unsuitable.
