Things to Do in Prague
- Charles Bridge – this beloved bridge was commissioned in 1357 and is lined with impressive Baroque statues. It’s particularly popular at sunset, but visit at sunrise for an equally stunning yet quieter view.
- Old Town Square – the city centre of Prague is also one of the oldest parts of the city. Sit outside one of the cafes here with a delicious coffee and enjoy the architecture or wait to see the historic Astronomical Clock in action.
- Prague Castle – this striking palace sits tall and proud above the city, looking like something out of a fairy-tale. Only a short walk from the city centre across the Vltava river, this castle complex is one of the largest in the world, and well worth a visit.
- Brewery tours – take your pick out of the local breweries and go on a tour. End the day by sampling some of the amazing beers on offer.
- Christmas markets – if you’re lucky enough to be in Prague over the festive period, you can enjoy one of the biggest and best Christmas markets in Europe. Try a bratwurst, sip a mulled wine and try your hand at ice skating.
- Ghost walks – see a darker side of Prague by going on one of the many night-time ghost walks through the city’s cobblestone streets.
- Vltava river dinner cruise – take in this gorgeous city by night from the water, with one of the many relaxed dinner cruises on offer.
