A storybook old town, an underrated dinner scene, and the cheapest beer in any major European capital.
Prague is the city most travelers regret only giving two days. The old town is the kind of place that makes you understand the medieval city builders were not just doing it for tourists — it actually was that pretty when people lived here. The trap is that the old-town area is also where most of the bad food and overpriced drinks are. The fix is to walk fifteen minutes in any direction.
The places below skew toward Vinohrady and Žižkov (the locals' neighborhoods, the small dinners, the good coffee), with the unmissable old-town stops kept short. The new generation of Czech restaurants is a pleasant surprise — modern technique, low prices, full of locals. The beer is, of course, excellent and roughly the price of a coffee.
Three to four days is the right length. Stay one tram stop outside the old town center — the historic core is gorgeous but loud at night and your hotel will benefit from the distance. Walk everywhere in the daytime, take trams at night, and don't try to do day-trips and the city in the same trip; pick one or the other.
Where to base yourself, and where to spend your evenings.
