Franz Kafka famously said of Prague, “This mother has claws.” and he was right. There’s something about Prague that just won’t let you go. I can never get enough of this central European metropolis. It has a little bit of everything: interesting history, awe-inducing architecture, terrific pubs and clubs, and a budding restaurant scene to keep even the most ardent foodie full for a while.
I first went to this city in 2006 and have been back multiple times, even leading trips here for a while. Prague is continuously changing and I fall in love with it with each visit.
While many tourists (especially backpackers), stay in or near the historic center, it’s essential to remember Prague is that it’s not only about the historical center. There are a lot of interesting things to do in other neighborhoods throughout this city of 1.3 million people. and the city’s transportation system makes it easy to get around. In fact, some of my favorite areas in Prague are outside the historic center!!
Below, I’ll break each neighborhood down and give you suggested places to stay for each of them. But, first, some frequently asked questions I get about Prague:
What’s the best neighborhood for budget travelers?
Really, leave the historical center and prices drop. but if I have to pick one neighborhood for travelers on the cheap, it’s going to be Žižkov, a hilly, atmospheric district of cobblestoned streets and ramshackle 19th-century house buildings.
What’s the best neighborhood in Prague for families?
Vinohrady is a handsome neighborhood that is both quiet, pretty, and well connected to subway and tram lines.
What’s the best neighborhood in Prague for first-time visitors?
Most of the attractions that a first-time visitor is going to want to see and do are in Old town and across the Charles Bridge in Mala Strana.
What’s the best neighborhood in Prague for partying?
Not all the beer in Prague will help you pronounce it, but Vršovice (pronounced Ver-sho-veetz-say) is a fun out-0f-the-center neighborhood where a lot of young Czechs go to party — particularly on and around Krymská Street.
What is the best neighborhood in Prague overall?
Mala Strana, on the castle side of the Vltava River is a feast for the eyes. I like to stroll around the narrow cobblestoned streets and just get lost for an afternoon.
So, with those questions answered, here’s a breakdown of each neighborhood with suggested accommodation for each:

Best neighborhood for History: Old Town
Want to get medieval? then head to Old Town, or stare Mesto in the local lingo, which is dripping with Gothic and Baroque ambience. hugging the Vltava River, this compact area is fun to just take a left or a best down a backstreet and wander. sit in a pub nursing a pint of pilsner or a coffee and then go get lost again. Old town Square is one of the most stunning squares in Europe, dominated by the Gothic-clad Old town Hall and the wicked-looking Tyn Church.

BUDGET: The Madhouse – If you want to meet people and are searching for a party, this is the best hostel in Prague to do that! The décor includes very amazing murals and the well-informed staff organize events for guests every night. It’s very popular and one of the best social hostels in the city. Don’t come here if you want to sleep and not party! It’s technically just outside the Old Town, but it’s worth the walk if you want to party!
MID-RANGE: hotel Metamorphis – A reference to writer Franz Kafka’s many well-known story? हुनसक्छ। but I guarantee you won’t be turned into a huge bug at this comfortable hotel, located in a courtyard behind Old town Square and the captivating Tyn church. The rooms here have a boutique feel but the most interesting perk is that there is a beer medspa on site (that also provides limitless beers).
LUXURY: Maximilian hotel – sleek and chic, this smart boutique hotel has comfortable rooms to rest your cobblestone weary feet. Splurge and get a room with a balcony to take in the view. There’s also a buffet breakfast, a fitness center, a restaurant, and a bar on-site.
Best neighborhood for a quiet Stay: Vinohrady
Sedate and stately Vinohrady is the optimal neighborhood to plant yourself in Prague if you’re looking some peace and quiet. Sure, there are bars and outdoor restaurants but it’s typically a unwinded residential district. Plus, Vinohrady is well connected to subway lines and trams so it’s easy to get anywhere in the city from here.
