It is free to enter but be prepared to pay quite a lot for a beer. It's perfectly understandable of course and let's face it, you don't go to Hot Pepper's for the beer ;)

Bar, Club & Pub Pub Crawl in Prague

Need I say more?
OK, just in case you haven't heard about the top quality of Czech beer and incredible good value then, trust me.
Enough said.

Health Spa Marianske Lazne

Mariánské Lázně, the youngest of the West Bohemia spa towns, is distinguished by its lovely surroundings. The valley in which the town lies opens up towards the south and is protected with forested hills on the other sides. town of Marianske Lazne / Marienbad offers visitors and tourists various opportunities to use and spend active leisure time during their stay here. They can choose from a cultural offer of continual and current events, go for sport or just spend time in pleasant walks through this romantic spa town.

Health Spa Bath in Beer Chodová Planá

Your Beer Wellness Land.
Real Beer Baths are an original curative spa therapy combining remedial effects of warm mineral water, beer, ingredients for brewing beer, products of the brewing process and classical as well as special massages.
The aim of the baths involves harmonizing functions of the organism, mental rest, recondition and relaxation. The procedures have curative effects on the complexion and hair, relieve muscle tension, warm up joints and support immune system of the organism. For better rejuvenating results I recommend to accompany the original beer treatment with a partial massage aimed at problematic body parts or a full body massage reducing muscle tension.

Having visited Sauna's all over the world and coming to the conclusion that Holland, Netherlands are the best, then a new complex opened in Prague.
This sauna comes so highly recommended you will not be disappointed.
Do be prepared to sauna properly though. That means naked, naturally.

Show Me Around Cash Exchange

I think that exchanging cash is quite an important part of travel and the rates offered around the city do vary greatly.
Now, I'm not guaranteeing that this one will beet every other in the city every day but it is the one that I use and trust to give a consistently good rate.
If you visit their web site http://exchange.cz and click on the button DEVIZY which means Currency then they have a coupon that you can print and get the VIP rate ;)
Just a little tip :)

Car & Driver, Limousine How much will that Taxi cost?

Zoo Tours Prague Zoo

Highly recommended.
Prague Zoo is ranked very high in the best zoo's of the world and totally deserves to be.
It's not at all expensive and has not been spoiled with comersialism.

Cultural Experiences Time travel back to the Fifteenth Century

Beer, wine, mead, or pure water will shower your dry throat in this noisy taproom.
Given the fact that you are paying a visit to the Middle Ages, don't be surprised if a cheerful barmaid is bold enough to come over all familiar or if a barman makes a scene out loud. Their behaviour is a bit rough, but they're basically good people.
Whether they call you a peasant or a farmer's wife, a knight, a bandit, or riff-raff, it's not because they want to offend you. It's just that the Middle Ages aren't the same as the present.

Theater, Shows & Musicals Revolving Auditorium in Cesky Krumlov

The unforgettable experience of performances at the legendary revolving Auditorium in the Castle gardens of the pictoresque historic town of Cesky Krumlov. Beauty and the Beast, The Gypsy Baron, The Four Seasons and more.
I do highly recommend you book very very very early.

Airport & Ground Transportation Airport & Public Transportation in Prague

Prague Public Transport consists of metro, trams and buses, plus suburban buses (lines from no.300 to no.400).
My recommendation to you is to learn the tram system straight away. You might like to add the Metro soon after but you will find both extremely easy and rewarding.
Without going into too much detail, this is what you do:
Find a ticket machine. Top left button for less than 20 minute journey, next button for up to 75 minutes (90 off peak).
When you get on the tram look for the yellow machine with a time display and put the ticket in. It will then get the time printed on it.
You can jump on and off trams, metro or buss until the time is up.
Twenty four hour travel is 100CZK
