We’ve got a few lodging options we can recommend for your stay in Prague. The first on the list is a 3-bedroom holiday home with all the trappings: living room, cable TV, Wi-Fi, fully-equipped kitchen, and even a garden terrace.

Oh, and the Prague Zoo, one of the best in world, is just a short trip away. More on lodging.
