Let me recommend that you spend some time becoming familiar with the website www.jasoncholt.com - - nearly a complete guidebook online - - produced as a labor of love (as far as I can tell) by a British ex-pat living there.<BR><BR>And for lodging, you can jump directly to the webpage http://www.jasoncholt.com/prague/prahahotel.html<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>[email protected]<BR>

Dear Fate_golfman,<BR> <BR> Prague is one of my favourite cities and has one of the best art/nouveau(outside of Paris)collections I've ever seen. I loved Municipal house-a must! Here are some sites: www.eurocheapo.com/prague<BR>www.prag-unterkunft.de<BR>www.czechbyclick.com<BR>www.pragu e-museums.com<BR>The concerts were wonderful(almost as good as Vienna)

We stayed at The Cloister Inn, they do have a web site. In 1999 it was about $100 a night for a double/WC/Shower including breakfast. It was centrally located, they do have a web site. I do not know if you consider that "Budget" Prague was expensive for lodging and inexpensive for great food. <BR>We walked from there to Wensalas (sp) Square, Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter (seeing it took 1/2 day), we walked over the bridge to Hradny Castle area. At the TI in old town found out about concerts and went to one in the Museum. It was a brief one, only about 1 1/2 hours for a trio on the steps. It was reasonable and very good then since the museum is on Wens. Square, went to a cafe for dinner. Really is a great city.<BR><BR>Oh there is also a hostel in the same building as the Cloister and it is in walking distance to the bus station.<BR>

Take in an opera or ballet at the Estates Theater, National Theater, or State Opera House. Magnificent guilded structures dating back to the 1700's and 1800s. The music is wonderful. I remember sitting in the National Opera House and thinking that If I had not seen this theater I could not say that I saw Prague.<BR><BR>If you like art nouveau check out the Alphonse Mucha Museum. <BR><BR>I too was satisfied by the Cloister Inn. Right in the hub of things.<BR><BR>
