My friend and i are going to Prague for 2 Days in January (9th %26amp; 10th). What kind of weather do we expect, do we need comfy shoes for walking and what is the best way to travel round Prague ie Bus, Walk etc.
We are staying at the Hotel Pariz so where are the best restaurants, cafe%26#39;s and locations to see. Are there any other clues for us to look out for ie Pick Pockets etc.
What kind of prices are we looking at for Good Steaks Fish etc and any other recommendations that you could supply me with. Thanks

Hallo, the weather will be about 0°C so take a wraps. Also comfortable shoes will be good if you want travel.
If you will be accomodated in hotel Pariz it is near to center you will not need ticket. Almost everything is near. if you will go on some places which are not in center, take a underground. It is clean and fast.
You can also rent a car and go to Karlovy Vary, Mikulov, Kutná hora and other very nice places. Good price rent car is www.asap-rentcar.cz.
Good steaks in centrum are expensive. The good restaurant is in Plaská street - U zlatého hada.
Have a nice trip.

As LucieS says, mostly you%26#39;ll be walking with the odd metro trip thrown in (you are right next to the Namesti Republiky metro). Take a look at www.livingprague.com/restaurant.htm for my recommendations. You are only 100 metres from the La Boca steak restaurant (Argentinian). Most of the places have online menus so you can pre-calculate the costs. U Zlateho Hada means %26quot;at the Golden Snake%26quot;. At steak at the snake.......

Its a lot colder than England. We went one January and boy was it cold, and that is with thermals, woolley hat, two fleeces and a coat ! Dont forget scarf and gloves. I live in Germany and thought I was used to fairly cold winters compared to England, it does feel bitter believe me.

We are also going to Prague for the first time 14-18 December, staying in the Hotel Kinksy Gardens which we gather is a bit out of the centre (but should be quieter ??).
We wondered where are the main Christmas markets held ? And are there any other Christmassy things to take in ?
There seems to be a bit of conflicting advice about as to how long it takes to walk from the Kinksy Gardens to the main tourist area / castle - how long do you think it would take. Sorry about all these questions ! Thanks in advance for your help.

kogo and ambiente%26#39;s brasilian restaurant, both in slovansky dum, Lary fary in dlouha and DaNico, also in Dlouha are good restaurants within 10 minutes walk of the Pariz. You can eat here for 20 pounds or so a head with beer.
El Goucho on wenceslas square serves up good steaks

Will be cold cold cold by UK standards so wrap up warm, or factor in lots of cafe stops during the day - svarak (mulled wine), or grog (rum, hot water, lemon and sugar to taste) help a lot! Likely to snow, heavy grey skies etc, although sometimes if you are lucky, you may get crystal clear skies, although it%26#39;ll still be very cold.
Walking is the best way to see Prague, and all the main sites are in the centre. Pickpockets usually ride the metro in the centre, or the trams (particularly the 9, 22 and 23 as these go through tourist areas). Watch out for large groups of people, hustling you as you get on and off of metros and trams.
Prices for food depend on what you think is reasonable. By UK standards everything is cheap, but would say anything between 200 and 400 crowns for a main course would mean pretty decent food provided it isn%26#39;t pitched as a %26#39;tourist restaurant%26#39; (which most of the stuff in the centre is). Pravda has very good food near your hotel. Fish on Kampa island is expensive but has good fish (although bear in mind, Prague is in central Europe so the fish is VERY expensive, and not always very fresh). Avoid the jewish quarter (near your hotel) or old town square as they are overpriced and the quality of food and service is not very good.
