Just returned , big thanks to KFC, a doddle of a transfer, shuttle bus and metro , so easy and quick for less than £1 each !! Although the break didn't go quite to plan in more ways than one, would recommend to anyone at least the parts we did get to see !

Not to get scammed by a so called travel agent for starters mad
Didn't get to do as much as we wanted as an hour before setting off, there was no break, found a last minute one same flights, dates, so it was back on !
Spent all day Saturday in bed being as sick as I've ever been and not through drink !
What we did see was very good, great buildings and architecture if your into that, a very chilled out place. Plenty of 'squares' with entertainment going on, and if you like shopping their shopping centres are massive, old meets new!
Will probably return again to make up for this disaster one day, would recommend it.....oh and it's cheap !!

Dont eat on the square, super expensive rubbish food.

Do teat in Any Ambiente restaurant ambi.cz
Have a coffee and cake in Bake shop Praha, probably some of the best cakes I have and anywhere in the world. Its on the bottom of Dloha street you can't miss it. Pizza Nova and pasta Fresco are good as is the Brazilian one if you like meat.

Avoid the commercial strip clubs, you will end up just spending a lot of money for not much. If you looking for late night action go to Show park.

potrefena husa for czech food and drink.

Grosseto Marina Ristorante, just a amazing place to sit and have lunch and dinner, its a boat on the river with amazing views. Good prices and good food.

No problem, if you want more specific advice just ask.

As someone said U-Price is nice for a coffee on the roof top. Service is horrid and I would not bother to eat there.

Night life is also quite good on weekends, it's a little slow now these days but still ok, Tratters is a nice little cocktail bar just around the corner from the old down square opposite the bake shop praha.

Yeah there is a little ticket desk next to the car hire etc. You can't buy a ticket on the bus from the airport.... you NEED to buy one before you go out of the airport.
