Prague’s eccentricity is part of its charm. The Prague Castle may be medieval, but it shares a connection with a modern rock band. The Bohemian region has a long history as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the country itself is young, establishing independence from Communist rule in 1989 and separating from Slovakia in 1993. Prague’s accommodation options are just as diverse, including historic touches, modern amenities, and a room to suit every budget.

Travelers looking for luxury in the center of the city can spend the night in style right in Old Town Square.
