The historical core is the best Prague hotel location, since most of the famous allures are situated there. The offer ranges from old-time hotels and luxury guesthouses to big hotels run by large international chains. The prime location can be considered the Old Town square, situated a walk distance from the Charles bridge. Nearby quarter of Josefov (the Jewish Town) offers a few hotels overlooking the Vltava River. Many hotels in a very pleasant setting can be found in the Lesser Town, located on the other side of the Charles bridge. The number of hotels is much lower in Hradcany (the Castle area). We would like to stress out, that it may be very difficult to book a hotel during the high season (which roughly means from Easter to October and at Christmas). A cheaper alternative can be accommodation in guesthouses or apartments - they are very numerous especially in the outer Prague districts.
