We will also tell you about the most important sights which are worth seeing. Thanks to that you will know at least a little about the thousand-year history of our city. We will be gradually adding more information to this section.

We believe that visitors of our website will find useful information about traffic in Prague, public transport and travelling by car in Prague. We will tell you what kinds of tickets you need for travelling, how to search for the best connections for travelling in Prague and its surroundings, and also where to park your car in different parts of the city. We recommend you to have a look at the related links which will provide you with a lot of practical tips and advice.

In the part called Culture in Prague you can read basic information which will help you better understand the local culture, be it via literature, fine arts, music or theatre. In each section, there are tips which you may find useful especially if you do not speak Czech well yet. We recommend you to have a look at activities organised by the Municipal Library of Prague. There is almost certainly a branch of the library close to where you live as well. You can go there to borrow books, magazines and audio-visual materials in Czech and in many other languages as well.

In the last chapter of this part we will share with you some ideas on how to spend your free time.
