Help! Vinohrady or Neruda ?
 

Help! Vinohrady or Neruda ?
Myself and my husband (in our 30s) will be arriving in Prague around 12pm on Saturday and then depart on Monday around 10am for a flight out to Venice. It is a very short stay in Prague and hence we need your help and advice urgently on our accommodation location.

Currently I have apartment offers (fast expiring soon!!) from 2 places, one located along Neruda street, the other in Vinohrady.

We are not into Museums and Art stuff.....would just enjoy strolling around....particularly along Charles Bridge (went Prague 9 years ago....we strolled along the bridge at least dozens of times!), the parks.......the City.....

I learnt that both Neruda and Vinohrady are pretty places with parks and great views of the Castle......hence, would need your advice on which location is a better bet? Will Vinohrady be rather far from the Charles Bridge etc in your opinion? Also....Neruda will be nearer to the Airport I suppose.....

Please help to advice! Thank you very much!

I can't say for sure, they both would be acceptable, of course. However, given it is such a short trip, I would recommend the Neruda location as it is much more central and right in the middle of things you can walk around seeing and experiencing. That's the one I would choose, but you don't say where the one in Vinohrady is and it's possible it's not even near a metro station.

I wouldn't rent an apartment for a two day stay, myself, it seems like a lot of trouble.

Thanks so much for your response! Yes the location is 'Sazavska street' in Vinohrady.

Grateful for more advice!!!! Thank you!!!

Topping.....thanks!!!

Go with Neruda, if you just want to stroll around. Vinohrady is a great area, but out of the loop, as far as getting to the main sites quickly by walking. (Neruda Ulice is near all the main attractions, like the bridge & castle). Perfect location for a taste of Old World Prague. Petrin hill is close by, with the terrific walking trails..

Dear all,

thanks so much for your replies and help! Unfortunately the Neruda offer is a shared bathroom, which husband doesn't quite like. However, good news is I found another good location! It's an apartment, located in Plaska, meaning it's closer to Petrin as well as to the Charles Bridge and Old Town. It's at a very good price too and the kind owner even offer to fetch us from the Airport! Will post my report after I am back. Looking forward to Prague & Venice! Thank you all!
