Accommodation

General advice what to look for:

If you want easy walking distance, then Prague 1 (Staré město/Old Town, Nové Město/New Town, or Malá strana/Lesser Town) would be the right general areas
If you don’t mind a little more walking, then try Prague 2-Nové město/New Town
Otherwise look for hotels that are on the subway (e.g. Prague 2-Vinohrady but also many other districts)

In general, the Prague transportation system has a very dense network of trams and subways and is extremely reliable and not hard to navigate.
