The story

Departure from Malpensa right on time, arrival in Prague at 5 pm, taxi waiting, arrival at the hotel perfectly too even though one person was added (a triple instead of a double), Hotel Suite Home. Everything perfect, even though many are sceptical about booking a whole trip on the internet. Flight and hotel with breakfast cost 308 euros for two people (plus 25 euros per day for the third bed with breakfast). I also booked the taxi to and from the airport for 27 euros, and a boat trip on the river (with lunch and taxi to and from the hotel) for 30 euros each. Prague is a beautiful and very liveable city, everything was perfect, life is affordable and you never feel out of place, whether for tourist sights, walks or shopping. I'll be back soon.
