A lovely apartment in a very nice district of Prague.

Transfer from/to the airport could not be easier. Buy a 32 Czech crowns ticket (£1, which lasts for 90 minutes !), validate in the 'punch-in machine' just before or when you're on Bus 119. Take Bus 119 to the end of the line and get on Metro line A (Green) at Nádraží Veleslavín station, going in the direction of Depo Hostivař.

9 stops later get off at Jiřího z Poděbrad and the apartment is less than 5 minutes' walk away :-)

Getting into the centre of Prague is easy. Only 3 stops on the Metro to Mustek station at the top of Wenceslas Square - 24 Czech crowns, about 77 pence (this ticket lasts 30 minutes).

A very nice district with some nearby good restaurants. We tried Il Capitano, Italian, on Slavíkova street and Hostinec U Vodoucha (lovely Czech food in casual pub surroundings) on Jagellonská street. Also a handy supermarket, Albert, on Vinohradská .

Prague is an extremely beautiful city and is easy to get around on foot or by using the superb public transport system.

So many great things to see: Old Town; Jewish Museum in the Jewish Quarter; Petrin Hill; a boat trip on the river Vltava; the Charles Bridge; Astronomical Clock just off Old Town square; Museum of Communism.
