Cheap hotels in Hradcany, Prague

Neighborhood Description

Home to Prague Castle, one of the city's most visited sights, Hradčany begins north of the hilly street Nerudova and extends the hills beyond the castle borders. From sweeping vistas to take-you-back-in-time ambiance, this quiet neighborhood is a true gem. That said, accommodation here is somewhat limited. If you're not prepared to spend big, plan on going basic. But basic isn't all bad, particularly if you choose to sleep in the Nový Svět area, which looks like a picture-perfect old-school Czech village.

In addition to the castle, Hradčany's hills house the stately Strahov Monastery, the high-baroque Loreto church, and the Renaissance splendor of Schwarzenberg Palace. There's really no nightlife to speak of here, but easy tram access keeps the rest of Prague accessible.
