ČSA
www.csa.cz |
České
Aerolinie - the national airline of the Czech Republic - offer good value flights to Prague from
destinations worldwide. With a young fleet of Airbus 310-300 and Boeing 737 aircraft, ČSA
combine excellent service with a generous seat pitch. And, with the company's website offering
online ticketing via a fast and intuitive booking engine, the airline is a very slick operation all
round. |
Czech Airports Authority
www.csl.cz |
All you need to know
about Prague's Ruzyně airport, including online arrival and departure information, services,
advice to passengers and lots, lots more. The site also covers other Czech regional airports such
as Brno. |
| Car Rentals |
Budget Rent a Car
www.budget.cz |
Straightforward site
(in English and Czech) for anyone wanting to rent a car during their stay in Prague. Here you'll
find information about the company's fleet (Opel vehicles) together with rates and pick up points.
Online booking is available, though the English version reverts to Czech when you start. |
Avis Car Rental
www.avis.cz |
Avis' corporate look
is nicely ported over to this basic but attractive website. Online booking is available, with the
company using Opel and Renault vehicles. |
Hertz Car Rental
www.hertz.cz |
Clear, concise website
for Hertz in the Czech Republic. A neat and fast online reservation system, coupled with clear
background information on documentation, age restrictions and vehicles makes this site a
winner. |
| Entertainment Sites on Prague |
Whatsonwhen
www.whatsonwhen.com |
The global events
guide that offers spot on accurate listings for the city, with sections arranged by month, by
interest (i.e. classical music, folklore etc) and location. Excellent! |
| Government Tourist Sites |
Czech.cz
www.czech.cz |
Your first port of
call for all things Czech, with a huge selection of travel, business and leisure information.
Slick, colourful and detailed, this is a great site for anyone wanting to find out about Prague and
the Czech Republic in general. Highly recommended. |
Visit Czechia
www.visitczechia.cz |
A neatly arranged site
that gives the low-down on the country's main tourist areas, along with national parks,
chateaux/castles, spas, caves and activity holidays. Features plenty of links throughout, plus a
very useful "Planning Your Trip" section. |
Prague Information Service
www.pis.cz |
Homepage of the Prague
Information Service (Pražská informační služba) and what a good one it
is too! Chock-full of cultural and tourist relation info, the site also offers online hotel
booking, photos, useful addresses and a concise (date based) history of Prague. Recommended! |
| Czech Internet Directories |
Czech Information System
www.czis.cz |
Ignoring the dodgy
front page (and the fact that the site does without a database) the CIZ website contains a huge
selection of Prague and Czech related links. And, as everything is mirrored in English, it's
certainly one worth bookmarking. |
| News and Weather Sites |
Czech Happenings
www.ceskenoviny.cz |
Heavyweight offering
from the CTK news agency that offers particularly good insight into business related stories and
Czech home news. A case of substance over style, it's certainly one to check on a daily
basis. |
The Prague Post
www.praguepost.com |
Excellent resource for
news headlines and related stories on Prague, with additional sections on sport, business and
living. A neatly laid out, fast loading and highly polished web presence that's highly
recommended. |
The Prague Tribune
www.prague-tribune.cz |
A leading business and
lifestyle newspaper for Prague (and the Czech Republic) with highly readable sections devoted to
techno news, finance and travel. What's more it's well-designed and extremely easy to navigate.
Very good indeed. |
| Other Interesting/Useful Czech Sites |
Gurmán
www.gurman.cz |
Critical guide to
restaurants in Prague with each one being given a rating from 1-5 based on food quality, ambience,
service and price. Plenty of eateries are listed, while the site is simplicity itself. |
Jasoncholt.com
www.jasoncholt.com |
A likeable and
up-to-date guide from an ex-pat living in Prague. Much more personal (and indeed interesting) than
offerings from big name publishers, it offers good insight into local culture, food and drink, plus
practical information for visiting with the kids, finding popular haunts and generally getting the
best out of a trip to Prague! Highly recommended. |
Mapy
mapy.atlas.cz |
Brought to you by the
same company that operates the Atlas search engine. Basically it's an online mapping service for
major towns in the Czech Republic. And, of course, there's excellent coverage for all the major
tourist areas of Prague :) |
Radio Prague
www.radio.cz |
Excellent site that
not only lets you listen to the station itself, but offers a wealth of current affairs and news
information (including links to streamed audio clips). Recommended. |
Square Meal
www.squaremeal.cz |
Useful for finding
that 'ideal' restaurant in Prague, Square Meal offers a free table reservation service for
businesses listed on their website. Lots of nice photos for each eatery, plus maps and contact
addresses. |
