Almost everyone dreams of a visit to Prague. A tour to the Czech Republic without restrictions on the part of travel companies is especially attractive. In this case, the time spent on viewing each of the attractions is regulated by the tourist independently, the same applies to the route of travel.
The advantages of self-tourism include the ability to significantly save money. In this case, the tourist is faced with many questions: where to live, which area to choose for living, which housing to choose. We will try to answer these questions in this article.
Where is the best place to live in Prague for a tourist?
In which area of Prague is it better for a tourist to live? We will select the most attractive areas of the city with a developed infrastructure and walking distance to sightseeing, as well as estimate the cost of renting private housing and find attractive offers based on personal experience of accommodation.
Districts in the capital of the Czech Republic have serial numbers and are numbered depending on the distance from the city center. The smaller the number, the closer to the center the area is. In districts from the first to the tenth there are the main sights of the city, for the sake of which they go to Prague. The best hotels are also located here. Accommodation in these areas is naturally more expensive than in more remote areas of Prague, but tourists prefer to choose accommodation no further than Prague-10.
For budget tourists, the most inexpensive and optimal area is Prague 5... This area is densely built up with panel apartment buildings, in which local residents rent out living space. The way to the center of Prague from this area will take about 20-30 minutes by public transport.
Housing in the middle price category can be recommended in the area Prague-4, there are hostels with a good level of service. The area is very green, there are many parks, and locals sell delicious Czech food on the streets. It is easy to get from this area to the central part of the city, with the help of transport it will be possible to do it literally in 15-20 minutes.
The most fashionable district of the capital - Prague-6... There are high-value apartments here, but there are also good three-star hotels. Most of the houses located here have a very rich history and the area itself is interesting for tourists in its own way.
Most of the good hotels with a high level of service and prices are located in the tourist center of Prague - in the area Prague-1.
It is better to live in Prague and rent accommodation for a long period in the 5th district, this is where most Russian travelers stay for three months or more.
For example, consider housing options in each of the proposed areas:
- In the residential area of Prague-5, there is a cozy two-room apartment with all amenities, which can accommodate up to 4 guests on its territory. To the surprise of many tourists, the hospitable owner of the apartment even offers his guests breakfast, which is rare when renting an apartment in a residential area.
The cost of renting housing in this apartment is 1700-1800 rubles per day. The apartments have an advantageous location, they are located next to the metro station, which allows literally in 15-20 minutes to get to the center. The minimum rental period for an apartment is 2 days. This option is suitable for a company of 2-4 people without children.
- Considering housing in the Prague-4 district, we come across an offer for accommodation of two people in a small studio apartment, which is called New-studio. The apartment is small, cozy, with a bed on the second tier under the ceiling. Judging by the reviews, the owner of the apartment is very friendly and tells her guests how best to get to the sights and what is worth seeing.
Renting such an apartment costs around 3,300 rubles per day. This is the average cost of living in an apartment in Prague 4.
- As an example, we have chosen a sunny two-room apartment in a fashionable area of Prague. Judging by the photos, the apartment is stylishly furnished, according to the reviews of the visitors, comfortable, it can accommodate up to 4 guests. The cost of renting such an apartment will be just over 4,000 thousand rubles per day.
How to rent a house without intermediaries?
Where can you stay in Prague without resorting to the services of intermediary firms? The best option in this case is to rent a home through good friends who have already had a rest, have contacts with the owner and recommend him.
You can also use one of the international sites with ads for rental housing. These sites are good because they leave reviews from people who used rental services. Renting a house in Prague for a long time from the owner often turns out to be the most profitable and high-quality option, if you want to spend in the city not one or two days, but several months.
Where to stay in Prague inexpensively?
As we have already discussed above, the most inexpensive areas for rental housing are the Prague-5 and Prague-4 districts, although you can look at offers from other areas, since hotels open quite often and sometimes an inexpensive hostel can appear literally a stone's throw from the historic center cities.
European hostels are usually distinguished by a high level of service, cleanliness and availability of cuisine. Here you can stay both with your family and traveling around the Czech Republic alone. Of all types of rental housing, the hostel is the most acceptable and affordable, since it is not the whole room that is rented there, but the sleeping place.
