Cheap hotels in Smichov

EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in Prague

Neighborhood Description

A former industrial hub, modern Smichov is a quaint residential neighborhood on the Ultava's left bank, just a jaunt away from the city center (off the Andel metro stop). In this little niche south of the Prague Castle, travelers can find cheap digs, shopping, and a fun bar scene. Smichov is also the proud home to Bertramka, the elegant villa that was once the temporary residence of Mozart and now houses a museum devoted to the great composer. But the neighborhood's real claim to fame is Staropramen, Prague's largest brewery, complete with visitor center and (more importantly) taste-testing opportunities.
