Beyond the Basilica

Just when we were starting to think that Powder Tower offered the best views over the city, this gorgeous home in the heart of Prague came along to prove us wrong. Situated just a few steps from Old Town Square, this place is perfect for those looking to get up close and personal with the capital’s most famous attractions, boasting breath-taking city vistas and front row tickets to the Basilica of St. James, one of the most recognisable landmarks this side of the Vltava.

With views like this at your fingertips, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to stay here all day, sipping a cup of coffee on the terrace and taking hundreds of photos to send to your friends back home. If you feel like venturing out, though, you’re just a stone’s throw from all the city’s major attractions, not to mention within easy reach of the river, ideal if you fancy getting out for a leisurely lunchtime stroll with your fellow guests. Wander across Charles Bridge and treat yourself to a picnic by the Prague Metronome or stick to this side of town and sample some mouth-watering cuisine at one of the city’s best restaurants. Delish.
