1. Explore the Old Town Square

The Old Town Square is the beating heart of Prague, and a place where centuries of history come together. Here, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture stand cheek by jowl, narrating the story of Prague’s past. The Astronomical Clock, a 600-year-old marvel, is the square’s most indelible feature. Every hour, the clock springs to life, the Twelve Apostles rotate as the figure of Death rings a bell, reminding spectators of the life that passes them by.

The Church of Our Lady before Týn takes center stage, its twin Gothic spires the dominant feature of the skyline, so allow some time to admire this impressive structure. Step inside to admire the elaborate altars and paintings that showcase the wealth and artistry of medieval Prague. Close by, the Baroque St. Nicholas Church has its interior decorated with frescoes and inlaid with a magnificent chandelier.

Pro Tip: Go in the morning or at sunset when fewer people are around. The light is magical; the square is best viewed through the lens for photographers. Need a breather? Pick up a coffee or trdelník (a sweet pastry) from one of the vendors and unwind at a cafe overlooking the bustling square.


2. Walk Across Charles Bridge

Spanning the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, Prague’s iconic pedestrian-only bridge, is an open-air gallery of history and art, rather than just a means of crossing the river. Constructed in the 14th century during the reign of King Charles IV,Road of Stone is ablaze with 30 statues depicting saints and historical figures. The Baroque-era additions include a statue of St. John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of Prague. Traditionally, touching the base of his statue reportedly gives you good luck and guarantees that some day, you’ll return to Prague.

At day time, the bridge is bustling with activity, from street musicians and painters to souvenir-selling vendors, making it a colorful place to be. In contrast, mornings and evenings afford a contemplative break, ideal for quiet reflection or a romantic stroll as city lights twinkle below on the bridge and water.


3. Visit Prague Castle

No visit to Prague is complete without a wander at Prague Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest ancient castle complex in the world. It covers more than 70,000 square meters and contains palaces, courtyards, gardens and religious buildings, with more than 1,000 years of history written all over it.

Start by visiting St. Vitus Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece in which Czech kings were crowned. The soaring spires and the incredible stained-glass windows in the cathedral are truly memorable. Ascend the south tower for sweeping views of the city.

Stroll along the Golden Lane next, a charming street filled with colorful, minuscule houses that were once home to goldsmiths and later became a residence for artists, including Franz Kafka. Visit the Old Royal Palace, which contains the Vladislav Hall known for its massive vaulted ceilings.

Tips for Visitors:

  • Since it’s a big draw for tourists there can be long lines here, so try to be here early.
  • For access to various attractions in the castle grounds, purchase a combination ticket.
  • Plan for at least a half day [at least!].

Insider Tip: Conclude your time in the Castle Gardens, where you can relax with spectacular views of the Vltava River and the city below.

4. Stroll Through Letná Park

Crowning above the Vltava River, Letná Park is an idyllic retreat with some of the sweetest open-air panoramas of the city. Stroll along its leafy trails, seek out the ideal picnic place or watch skaters at the Letná Metronome. The scenery is another reason this park is a favorite, and its history is the other: The grounds were once home to a gigantic Stalin monument, replaced by the Metronome representing progress and change.

Highlight: Take Instagram-perfect photos of the iconic Charles Bridge and Prague Castle from Letná’s viewpoints.

Pro Tip: Bring some snacks and find one of the many benches to sit on overlooking the city!

7. Vyšehrad Fortress and Park

Skip the crowds and visit the historic fortress of Vyšehrad, an underrated destination that delivers a quieter side of Prague. Wander along its ancient walls and soak in sweeping views of the Vltava River and the skyline. Within this fortress, you will be able to explore the St. Peter and Paul Basilica, a true Gothic masterpiece decorated with beautiful frescoes.

Nearby Vyšehrad Cemetery is the final resting place of numerous Czech luminaries, including composer Antonín Dvořák and writer Karel Čapek.

Prague is known for its historic architecture, but the Dancing House is a striking modern gem with a marvelous contrast to the city’s medieval and Baroque structures. It was built by architects Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry, and the building is known as “Fred and Ginger” due to its unusual design that resembles a couple dancing.

A curvaceous, fluid sculpture in a sea of rigid boxes, this modern architectural treasure veers sharply from nearby structures. It’s a fascinating sight for any architecture buff, and it makes for a rare photo with Prague album potential.

Tip: Climb to the rooftop terrace of the Dancing House, which provides one of the best views of the city, including the Vltava River, Prague Castle, and the National Theater. It’s an ideal place to have a drink and watch the sunset.

15. Prague Castle: Jewel of History

In discussing must-see places in Prague, you cannot omit Prague Castle. Perched grandly on Castle Hill, this sprawling complex is among the largest ancient castles in the world and has been the seat of the Czech kings and presidents. The castle is a beautiful example of gothic and baroque architecture with multiple buildings, gardens and courtyards to visit.

What To Eat


Prague’s dining scene is as rich and varied as its history. From filling Czech classics to innovative modern bites, the city is a food-lover’s paradise. And of course, the country’s unrivaled beer culture, which is close to the heart of every Czech. Here’s how to get the most from Prague’s food-and-drink scene.

1. Traditional Czech Cuisine

Not sure what to cook with your squished apple or rum there was a thread last week about favorite foods from your home country/country you have visited. Begin your culinary journey with svíčková na smetaně, a traditional Czech dish in which marinated beef is covered in a creamy vegetable sauce, garnished with cranberries and served with fluffy dumplings. You can’t miss vepřo knedlo zelo — roasted pork, sauerkraut and bread dumplings that go wonderfully together.

Street food lovers surely fall in love with trdelník, or chimney cake. While more popular with tourists than locals, this sweet pastry’s crispy, sugary crust and soft inside is perfect to snack on while traversing the cobblestone streets.

If you’re looking for some typical Czech fare, head to Lokál, a restaurant chain with a downtown Prague location that specializes in homemade food and traditional Czech recipes. Prefer something fancy? Café Savoy combines a wee bit of old-world elegance with traditional fare.

Fun Fact: Dumplings (knedlíky) are a fixture of Czech cuisine and often are made using stale bread — a savvy way of minimizing waste and respecting tradition.

2. Craft Beer and Breweries

Prague is not simply a city; it is a mecca for beer lovers. Czechs are the world’s biggest beer drinkers and for a good reason — their beer is extraordinary.

Begin with the classic Pilsner Urquell, a dry lager that traces its origins to the Czech city of Pilsen. Many pubs in Prague, including U Fleků, serve the beer fresh on tap. For a closer look at Prague’s brewing culture, go on a beer tour and sample any number of craft breweries, such as Pivovar U Tří Růží or Strahov Monastic Brewery, where you can sample everything from dark lagers to seasonal ales.

Pro Tip: For a true Czech experience, order your beer šnyt style — half beer, half foam.

For bolder action, opt for beer spas, a more novel activity where you bathe in a tub of warm beer while sipping unlimited pints of lager.

3. Modern & International Cuisine

And while Czech food is worth tasting, there is also a bustling international gastronomy in Prague. In the hip Karlín district, you can find a wide range of international cuisines, from sushi to Italian trattorias. Vegetarian or vegan? Restaurants such as Estrella and Maitrea have something for plant-based eaters with creative takes on local and international cuisine.

Note: The growing street food scene at the Manifesto Market offers everything from gourmet burgers to Asian fusion, in a lively outdoor venue.

4. Coffee Culture in Prague

Prague’s coffee scene is absolutely booming, with loads and loads of cafes and roasteries to choose from. Begin your day at Café Louvre, a historic coffeehouse once frequented by Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein. Third-wave coffee devotees can get expertly brewed espressos and specialty drinks at EMA Espresso Bar and Místo.

Fun Fact: Prague’s café culture dates back to the early 20th century, and, since then, it has remained a beloved tradition for locals.

5. Sweet Treats and Desserts

Along with trdelník, sample traditional Czech sweets like koláče, sweet pastries filled with fruit or poppy seeds, or medovník, a layered honey cake that’s rich and delicate all at once.

But go to Cukrárna Myšák, a renowned patisserie, to try the treats in a cute art deco setting.

What To Do At night

Begin with local favorites, including U Fleků, a historic brewery and beer hall that has been serving dark lagers for more than 500 years. Then next, visit Hemingway Bar, known as much for its stylish cocktails as for its long list of absinthes, a tribute to Prague’s bohemian past.

Prefer something lighter? Tentatively try a Black Light Theatre show, a uniquely Czech art form that combines pantomime, dance, and UV light for a surreal magical experience.

5. Wander Riverside and Visit Night Markets

For a calmer evening, walk along the Vltava River. The way the lights glimmer off the water creates a really nice atmosphere and you’ll often find street performers and pop-up markets adding a lively touch to the ambience. Naplavka (the embankment area) is a busy summer place with riverside places to drink and eat and bands playing.

6. Clubbing and Dance Floors

With some of the best night clubs in Europe, Prague’s venues will satisfy everything from EDM junkies to retro beat lovers. Karlovy Lázně, a five-story club near Charles Bridge, is the biggest in Central Europe and has music from a different genre on each floor. Roxy, a club famous for its eyepopping lineup of djs and cool contemporary art installations, has an underground vibe.

TIP: While entry to clubs in Prague is usually quite inexpensive, try to see if they have themed nights or special events to get a more memorable experience.

My Top Travel Recommendations


Planning your trip to Prague? We’ve asked some experts to share their practical tips and advice for getting the most out of your adventure in this delightful city. From booking your trip to what to take with you when you go, I have compiled everything you will need to visit this matchless city!

1. Booking Tips

With some strategic planning, booking your trip to Prague can be a piece of cake. For the best prices it’s always advisable to book your flights at least 3-4 months in advance. Climate perils aside, rates do vary and early booking gets you better rates. And registering for fare alerts on flight-comparison websites like Skyscanner or Google Flights lets you know when discounts pop up.

Upon arrival, getting around Prague’s public transportation system is simple and inexpensive. Like all other significant attractions, the metro, tram, and bus system in the city will take you their efficiently. You can purchase a day- or multiday travel pass that will give you unlimited access to public transport. A single-ride ticket costs about 30 CZK (1-2 EUR), and a 3-day pass is about 330 CZK (13 EUR).

Note: Another option is the Prague Card, which includes unlimited public transport travel as well as free entry to many museums and attractions.

2. Tours and Activities

If you’ve never been before, guided walking tours are a great way to get an in-depth look into Prague’s history. Local guides will share behind-the-scenes details about city sights from the Prague Castle to the Charles Bridge to Old Town Square. It’s also a fun opportunity to meet other travelers. You can find tours centered on themes, such as the Jewish Quarter, Czech history, or even ghost and mystery tours for a spookier experience!

For a more hands-on experience, I recommend joining a food tour. Prague has an exciting culinary tradition, and this is a great way to sample iconic dishes like the svíčková (marinated beef wrapped in a creamy sauce), the trdelník (a sweet pastry), and goulash. You’ll also hear about local cafés, bakeries and market stalls that might slip under your radar without help.

Tip: If you are a craft beer fan, I can tell you that Prague has an awesome beer culture! Specialized beer tours will show you the best microbreweries in the city and give you a chance to try a wide range of Czech beers. Don’t miss the chance to down a glass of Pilsner or Budvar, locally brewed favorites.

3. Packing Essentials

Packing for Prague — Comfort is king As the city is best discovered on foot, be sure to pack comfortable shoes. You will be doing plenty of walking on cobbled streets, so sneakers or sturdy sandals are the best choice.

Prague’s weather can be erratic, particularly in spring and fall, so it pays to dress in layers. Layer on a light jacket or sweater you can throw on or take off, based on the temperature. If you’re visiting during the rainy months, a small umbrella is a lifesaver as well.

Also a must is a reusable water bottle — Prague’s tap water is safe to drink, and it’s of very good quality too. There are water fountains and refill stations all around the city, so no need to buy bottled water. This is not only planet-friendly, but budget-friendly!

4. Money Tips

Prague is quite inexpensive in general, but you need to pay attention to your budget. The official currency is the Czech koruna (CZK), although euros are accepted in many places. But you’ll get better rates in local currency. ATM machines are everywhere, but always confirm that your bank doesn’t charge foreign withdrawal fees before you use one.

Tipping is common but not obligatory in restaurants. If you’re happy with the service, a tip of 10-15% is welcome! Some restaurants include a service charge; check the bill before tipping.

5. Safety Tips

Prague is a relatively safe place to visit, but as anywhere where tourists flock, just be vigilant. Petty crime like pickpocketing can occur, though, particularly in the crowded tourist districts like Old Town Square or Charles Bridge. Finest To Slovakia scam: All of your valuables should stay within your reach – there are no exceptions to this rule, so if you have a money belt use it.

Tip: During limited visibility, such as at night, walk in lighted areas when possible, and avoid walking alone. However, if you’re requiring a taxi, it’s best to download a trusted app such as Bolt or Uber instead of waving down a random cab from the street, as they can overcharge you.

6. Best Time to Visit

When to visit Prague depends on what you would like to do and how you would like your experience to be. If you like warm weather, and a lively atmosphere, the summertime (June to August) is a great option, but it is peak tourist season so expect more crowds. Spring (April to June) and Fall (September to October) are lovely times to visit with milder conditions and less crowds.

If you don’t mind chilly weather, the winter (November to March) can be magical in Prague, especially during Christmas. The city is nicely decorated throughout with lights, and the Christmas markets are a great place to buy unique souvenirs and cook seasonal treats to share. Don’t miss out on the Vánoční trhy (Christmas Markets) at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square 🙂

Additional Tips for a Lasting Stay

  • Language: Czech is the official language, yet many in the tourist industry speak English, primarily in the city center. Knowing some simple phrases in Czech such as “Dobrý den” (Good day) and “Děkuji” (Thank you) can only help.
  • Time Zone: CET (Central European Time Zone, UTC +1) In summer it observes Central European Summer Time (CEST; UTC +2).
  • Electricity: 230V; plug type — European (C) — come prepared with an adapter if your devices are of a different plug type.
  • Public Restrooms: In Prague, public restrooms are mostly located within shopping malls, restaurants, and tourist sites. Although, keep a small coin as many public loos charge 10-20 CZK.

Conclusion

Prague is that one city that takes your heart and doesn’t give it back. With every turn, every cobblestone street and every golden spire peeking above the skyline this is a nurturing city, one that feels vaguely otherworldly, full of wonder, nostalgia. Be it your first time or your tenth, there’s always something new to discover.

The most beautiful spots in the city, including the impressive Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and Old Town Square are nothing compared to some of the hidden alleys and nooks where you can get lost for hours away from the rush of other tourists.

So pack your bags, toss on some comfy shoes, and get ready to fall back in love with Prague again. Whether you’re after the romantic view, a dash of rich culture, or just a spot to sit and soak up the atmosphere, Prague will bewitch you and, stamp your heart with a lasting imprint.
