It all depends on what goals you set for yourself. It is in Prague and the Czech Republic in general that there are very interesting operator offers, both bus and air.
If you have no experience of independent travel, and you are going to Prague for the first time, then, in my opinion, it is better to take an organized tour.
I went to Prague on my own for the second time, it turned out to be not at all cheaper than a tour, but my program was such that operators do not offer.
And the third time we also went on our own with a group of 6 people. Then we managed to catch Aerosvit air tickets for 99 dollars, booked a hotel ourselves, made visas, ordered a transfer via the Internet, then we agreed with the same driver on trips to castles and to Dresden. And somehow everything worked out so well that the trip turned out to be just indecently cheap. But you need to know that in order to obtain a Czech visa, the embassy requires the original reservation from the hotel, with signatures and stamps, fax or electronic confirmation will not work.
With an ind. tour, you can organize a sightseeing tour yourself - with a guide in your hands or order by phone from any advertising booklet in Russian, there are hundreds of them in every hotel.

guide + map - and you will have the best overview for you, and more! :-)
excursions offered on the spot (in hotels, for example, go to a tour bureau) personally disappointed me even when I first visited Prague on my own.
Therefore, all the next 5 (or 6?) times I organize excursions for myself!
and I wish you not to be lazy, but to “trample” Prague with your feet. And it will open to you such that no guide will show!
By the way, the darkness of buses to the metro runs from the airport. So if you don’t book in advance, you will definitely get to the City anyway :-)
If you have specific questions about Prague - ask, I will share my experience :-)

the fact of the matter is that I have already been to Prague. Arriving and telling their friends about their impressions, they also caught fire. But after all, you don’t want to lose face and at least see something new for yourself and people not to spoil the rest from independent planning. Therefore, a lot of questions arise. What is the best way to travel - than (airplane, train) With hotel reservations, I think, in principle, there should not be any problems, as well as with the organization of excursions. But you need information at least about guides who work with small groups and the order of prices

1.Usual tour packages include a trip to several cities, you will not be in Prague for so long. a travel agency can also calculate an individual tour purely in Prague, but it will not come out cheap, because. the agency offers "their" hotels, which are not always cheap. if you organize everything yourself, it will come out cheaper and the way you want it.
2. Sightseeing tours can always be organized by yourself. there are excellent guidebooks from the Kindersey, or Lonly Planet series. Kindersley the best. EVERYTHING is written there, prices, time to visit each place, there are maps. I always use it. find yourself in Prague. they have. there is still an option to find a Russian-speaking travel agency from Prague. there are such a shaft. they arrange everything for you.
about hotels and fees. choose a couple of hotels via the Internet (for example, on booking) find their addresses and send you requests if they agree to send you a letter confirming the prepayment by 100%. 99% always agree =)

This is true. Too much. Budget to the Czech Republic - by bus. Or catch special offers from airlines.

Have you traveled to Prague before?
In addition to the plane, train and bus, only your car remains. By the way, also an option.
3200 is very expensive. Again, we flew for $99. But! It was an action and we were waiting for it. The trip was already planned for tickets. Yes, in fact, this is the golden rule of an independent traveler - start with tickets. There are no cheap tickets to Prague, we are going to Venice. No tickets to Paris, flying to London. Etc.
Z.Y. And buses pass the border normally, in my opinion, the three-hour night "changing shoes" of the train at the border is much worse.

you can try via Katowice (visair) they seem to have a transfer to Budapest. but here you have to be sure. that week we flew to Cologne and got into heavy fog, could not land and circled over the city for an hour, as a result, we landed in Dortmund altogether.

I, too, by the way, adjusted to the action. But it was possible to save almost ten thousand there, so it was worth the wait, because - I didn’t take it through an agency, I found a VERY cheap hotel through the Internet booking system, and at the same time - in the historical center of the city, I made the reservation so that just everything matched. There was an idea and by car, but still the vacation time did not allow, therefore, in fact, I made the whole bet on the plane (it was also tight with money). And initially I thought about taking a tour, but then I read materials on the net, different articles, reviews on the forums, everyone definitely wrote that it was cheaper to go to the Czech Republic - on my own, of course this article finished me off aif.ru/travel/article/52872 I was already on my own then climbed, and on the airline's websites (on some forum I found links there was a whole bunch of direct ones) and became the search engines for this, where it is booked, look at prices. I called a couple of local operators, and actually, in early July, I went to Prague for two weeks.
And on the tour - you can sign up on the spot, no problems at all. Once I squeezed in with a Russian group (there was just from some travel agency and their guide was), well, I gave the guide a little on the paw, and that's it.

Fazan, thanks for the article. It was on her advice that I was in the Czech Republic, namely in Karlovy Vary and Prague. In terms of finances, everything cost the amount indicated in the article. The most difficult thing for me was to find a hotel that would meet all my requirements, while not being very expensive. After a long search, I finally found it. There are a huge number of excursions in Prague, and the prices for them are optimal. I really liked the Prague streets and coffee shops, they have very tasty cuisine and beer, they know a lot about brewing!
