DK Travel : Prague

At the geographical heart of Europe, Prague’s beautiful cityscape has been carved and sustained by a variety of emperors, artists and religious communities, from the Gothic exuberance of its castle and cathedral, to the dignity of the medieval Jewish Cemetery, and the 19th-century opulence of the “new” town. Under Communist rule, Prague was off the tourist map, but since 1989 the city has seen a surge of visitors eager to take in this spectacular city.

Hotel Ungelt

The immediate vicinity is haunted by at least two ghosts, but guests at the Ungelt have registered no complaints. Perhaps they’re sleeping too soundly in the nine renovated 10th-century apartments to notice. The courtyard offers glimpses of Týn Church. Book early.
Hotel Unitas

Where else in Prague you can stay in a place where a baroque church gem lies next door, where you hear the chant of the convent with organ playing, where breathtaking history wrote amazing stories of the Jesuits, the Grey Sisters of St. Franciscus, Communist Secret Police with its infamous prison incarcerating our president to be Mr. Vaclav Havel and H.R.H. Prince of Wales paying him a tribute in person?

There is just one answer to this simple question: it is The Unitas Hotel.

It has the location, it has its great story and it has the ambiance created by a couple of Czech hotel enthusiasts who still believe in honesty of business and fair hospitality.

All rooms were constructed by setting up real convent cells in a line creating large and spacious cabinets rarely seen in the historical centre of Prague.

Hotel Vaníček

Overlooking Smíchov from its perch on Petřín Hill, the Vaníček offers guests a river view from its terraces. Simple rooms and services.
Hotel Vyšehrad

Between Wenceslas Square and the monuments of Vyšehrad, this hotel is fully up to date with satellite TV and internet connections but holds on to its 19th-century charm.
Hotel Waldstein

Adjoining Count Albrecht von Wallenstein’s palace on a quiet courtyard, this cosy hotel features nine apartments and four double rooms. The rooms are extremely homey and furnished with antiques and reproductions.
Hotel-Pension Páv

All rooms at this small hotel are spacious and stylishly decorated with mahogany furniture. The historic brewpub U Fleků is right next door.
House of the Black Madonna

One of the finest Cubist buildings in Europe, the Black Madonna houses a permanent exhibition of Czech Cubism, as well as other Czech and international art dating from the first half of the 20th century.
House of the Lords of Kunštát and Poděbrady

George of Poděbrady lived here before he was elected king in 1458. The Romanesque “cellars” were ground-floor rooms until a flood-prevention programme raised the city’s streets 3 m (10 ft).
Hračky

This small shop is crammed full with hundreds of charming toys. Traditional, hand-painted folk dolls, wind up toys, construction sets and model trains are just some of the goods on offer. Take advantage of the reasonable prices which are lower then elsewhere in Prague.
Hradčanské náměstí

Many visitors enter this square backwards, trying to fit St Vitus’s spires in their view-finders. Tear your eyes away from the castle’s western face and you’ll see, among other Renaissance buildings, the colourful Archbishop’s Palace and the grim Schwarzenberg Palace across the way. In the green centre is a plague column from 1726; opposite the castle is the Toskánský Palace, now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
