Charles Bridge
Its famous Baroque statues will transport you into a poetic and romantic atmosphere, regardless of the day or night and any season – it’s recommended to visit early in the morning or late at night to avoid large crowds.
Prague Castle
This magnificent structure is a prominent, awe-inspiring building with a blend of architectural styles, which you can admire without needing to enter.
The St Vitus Cathedral
St. Vitus Cathedral, an essential component of the castle, is another Prague destination that should not be missed, a genuine Gothic masterpiece featuring 82-metre-high spires, walls adorned with precious stones, and exquisite stained glass windows, including some designed by Mucha.
A historic district in the heart of Prague.
A small neighborhood that can be easily explored on foot, offering picturesque cobblestone streets, numerous churches, and a large square featuring the impressive Cathedral of Our Lady of Týn and the Town Hall, whose famous astronomical clock captures the attention of passersby.
Prague Jewish Quarter
Located a bit farther north of the Old Town, the Josefov neighborhood, Prague’s Jewish quarter, offers a serene atmosphere and picturesque streets lined with stunning historic mansions featuring intricate architectural details. Notable attractions within this area include the striking Spanish Synagogue, the Klaus Synagogue with its Baroque-style design, and the Old-New Synagogue, the oldest in all of Europe.
The Old Jewish Cemetery
the largest in Europe, a place steeped in mystery, where over 12,000 standing stones are intertwined with the surrounding natural landscape.
Petrin Hill
A very large wooded park situated on a hill overlooking the Vltava River, Petřín Hill is definitely worth visiting at least for a day during your stay in Prague, thanks to its stunning view of the city. It is possible to access the hill either by funicular or on foot for those who prefer a more challenging route.
Malá Strana neighbourhood
While making your way downhill, take the chance to explore the quaint Malá Strana district, which often attracts fewer tourists, offering a more genuine experience of the city. This charming area boasts picturesque squares, cobblestone streets, and impressive Baroque and Renaissance buildings.
An Austro-Hungarian-style café
Café of the Municipal House (Kavárna Obecní dům).
A typical brasserie
Must-do in Prague: a local beer at the end of the day in one of the city’s typical breweries or beer gardens to perfectly soak in the local experience.
