Prague is a great city to visit all year round, with its stunning architecture and rich history; highlighted by many of the grand castles and bridges dotted around the city, some of which date back as far as the 14th century. It's during the festive season, however, when the city centre comes alive with the annual Christmas Markets lighting up the city streets.
Whether it's for a romantic getaway for two or an informative sightseeing tour, this ancient well-preserved city has a multitude of attractions and a range of Prague hostels on offer.
It has become a destination of choice for stag and hen parties, made popular because of its exciting atmosphere, its cheap beer and the fact that it's only just over two hours away from London's airports by plane.
Holidays to Prague can vary from the inexpensive to the luxurious, with a wide range of hotel accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. There are a huge number of restaurants, and it would be impossible to make a visit to Prague and not visit the Old Town Square, watch the astronomical clock on the hour, and then enjoy a drink on the cobbled stones of the square itself as the horse-drawn carriages go by.
The winter months in Prague can become extremely cold, while the summer remains warm and mild. Rainfall in Prague is plentiful during the months of October and November. Snow falls can get quite heavy, but never too extreme. If you are lucky enough to be in Prague after a snow fall, the early morning light shining on the snow turns the city into a magical place.
Indeed, it is walking around Prague that offers most opportunities for developing or rekindling your romance. It is a breathtakingly beautiful city, with something different around every corner. Try strolling over the Charles Bridge at night to get superb views of the Castle and other magnificent views of the city. It will take a very hard heart indeed to not melt at the sight, and be instantly infused with romance.
