For a first visit, stay in Prague 1 (Staré Město / Old Town) to be walking distance from Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, and Wenceslas Square. Malá Strana (Prague 5) is quieter and more romantic; Vinohrady (Prague 2) is leafy, residential, and full of cafés. Prague Prime Stays has serviced apartments in all three.
It depends on what you want from the stay. **Old Town (Prague 1)** puts you within a 5-10 minute walk of Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, and Wenceslas Square - best if it is your first time and you want the sights at the door. **Malá Strana (Prague 5)**, just across the river below the Castle, is quieter and more atmospheric. **Vinohrady (Prague 2)** is a leafy residential district loved by longer-stay guests for its cafés and calm. All three are central, safe, and well connected, and we have apartments in each.Most of our Old Town (Prague 1) apartments are a 5-10 minute walk from Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, and Wenceslas Square. Apartments in Malá Strana and Vinohrady are a short walk plus a few minutes by tram or metro.

Every apartment is within about 5 minutes of a metro or tram stop.A serviced apartment in central Prague gives you more space, a full kitchen, a washing machine, and weekly cleaning for a similar or lower price than a comparable hotel - better for stays of three nights or more, families, and longer trips. A hotel suits one or two nights when you want a daily front desk.

You get a separate living area, a **full kitchen**, a **washing machine**, fast Wi-Fi, **weekly cleaning**, and fresh linen - for a similar or lower nightly price than a comparable central hotel, and without restaurant-only meals. Self check-in with a personal code replaces a reception desk, and our team is reachable 24/7.
