1) always keep a few krona change in your pockets for bathroom breaks. It costs about $0.15-$0.25 USD (in Krona) per visit no one will let you in for free. (besided the chabad restaurants).

2) You can rent boats to go on the Vlatlava river, not sure the cost. You can also rent "City Bikes" in the old town square for 300 Czech krona. (About $12) for 2 hours & every additional hour its 50 krona which is about $2 USD.

3) All Jewish attractions close at 6pm (or 4 in winter).

Has anyone eaten in both King Solomon and Dinitz (or either) for Shabbos meals? Which would you recommend?

King Solomon is Treif.

Any hotel recommendations? Points not necessary. Under $200 a night ideally.
And are chabbad restaurants the only reputable kosher ones?

There's a bus Terezin.

Noda Beyehuda, you could either take a long walk or taxi.

Following (July 15-18)... I see there’s a Hilton 7 min walk from Jerusalem shul and about 10-15 min walk to all the kosher restaurants. Anyone stay there?

Also looking for a good itinerary for the 2.5 days I’ll be there. And if anyone will be there during that time and wants to take a tour/Segway, hit me up.

Thanks

Yes

Any thoughts on it? Looks like a good option and using 50K/night is a decent deal on Hilton points.

Thanks
