Hi
My wife %26amp; I are in our early eightys but still (thank G-d) pretty mobile.
We plan to visit Prague for the first time next year and I have just started planning.
I am attracted to the Golden Well (U Zlate Studne) after reading it%26#39;s rave reviews but wonder if it would prove to be too far out of Town or too %26quot;hilly%26quot; for local walking , do our local experts think that this would be the case?
If the Golden Well is a non-starter could someone recommend a few hotels in the centre of town that would be ideal for a couple that like to take leisurely strolls (hills are No-Nos !)
Having said that, we survived and thoroughly enjoyed a week in Venice this year, despite the numerous bridges , so perhaps we are being too fussy about hilly areas :)
No hurry folk, but suggestions and comments back to this thread
With many thanks
Ron G.

can%26#39;t really help with a hotel,but Prague has a superb tram system that will get you up the hills.the no22 and 23 take you up to the castle area (why do they always put castles at the top of hills?) and then wander down the hill agai n,lot easier that way.Other hilly areas of the city are easily reached by tram also,tickets are cheap (220czk for 3 days and 280czk for 7 days).

slope up to the golden well is not too steep - just a five minute walk from the flat square of malostranske namesti. hotel is well situated ten minutes walk from the charles bridge. if you are mobile, the hotel is about one third of the way up the castle hill. the distance in perspective from the flat is about climbing the rialto bridge three times. if you can do that, you should be fine. to get up to the castle itself you can still walk down to malostranske namesti five minutes away and take the tram up to the castle area. you can walk to the old town, or walk down to maolstranska metro and take the 18 tram over the river. a three day tram pass only costs 220 crowns (6 pounds), so may be worth to have in handy for trips back at the end of the day.
look also at the aria which is in the same area but the slope up the street to that hotel is the same distance from the tram station but is not as steep

Hi Unclegus %26amp; Peb7
Many thanks for a very prompt response.
I have looked up both your profiles (very impressive !) and now give you fair warning that I will be coming back for more help from both of you in due course :)
Best wishes and thanks again
Ron
