Spires and baroque domes over the Vltava, beer halls that have been pouring for five centuries and castle towns scattered across Bohemia. The Czech Republic rewards anyone who looks past the postcard.
Kutná Hora brings together Sedlec Ossuary’s bone chandelier, the intersecting vaults of Sedlec Cathedral and St Barbara’s mining wall paintings, with a walk through the historic centre to the Jesuit College terrace. This is a full-day excursion from Prague main station and back, using trains and local rail rather than a coach tour. The programme […]
NaFilM lets you explore how moving images work, while New City Hall opens up a civic interior around a continuously moving lift. If you already know Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, these visits offer something different to do rather than another landmark to photograph. The five choices range from film experiments and […]
Charles Bridge gives you a river walk without committing to a whole evening, while the National Theatre offers the opposite, a performance to organise your night around. Between them, Prague has an hourly clock spectacle, an indoor history museum and a tower observatory for a wider view of the city. Choose one main activity rather […]
Prague’s viewpoints show quite different cities: the details of Old Town Square, Charles Bridge beneath the castle skyline, or the Vltava stretching between hills. Choose one close-up tower and one open-air hilltop if you want contrasting views. Old Town Hall makes the simplest addition to a central sightseeing day, while Petřín and Vyšehrad reward a […]
Charles Bridge at dawn is the first choice for a first visit together: you can pause over the Vltava, look towards Prague Castle and cross into Lesser Town without committing to a full day’s sightseeing. For a more contained date, choose Vrtba Garden’s terraces, or for a longer walk, head onto Petřín Hill. Letná Park […]
Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day bring different ways to spend the holiday in Prague: public celebrations on Old Town Square, worship at St Vitus Cathedral and a festive concert at the Municipal House. Come for Christmas traditions rather than uninterrupted ordinary sightseeing. Family celebrations, restricted shopping and holiday transport also shape your visit. […]
Prague’s Easter markets bring painted eggs, Czech crafts, seasonal food and family activities to Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, with a quieter neighbourhood alternative at Peace Square. They suit craft shoppers, food browsers and families, whether you want to watch a performance or choose a souvenir. The market season is longer than the Easter […]
Choose the music first, then build your Prague stay around the concert. The Prague Spring International Music Festival brings orchestras, chamber ensembles and contemporary composers into the city’s concert halls. Its opening centres on Smetana’s music, while competition finals and the Prague Offspring strand offer quite different reasons to attend. Municipal House and the Rudolfinum […]
Prague’s New Year’s Eve celebrations fall on 31 December, with gala dinners and river cruises continuing into 1 January. Old Town Square suits an outdoor evening in the centre, while Letná Park offers a wider view across the city. For a reserved seat, choose the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra’s Smetana Hall concert, Mozart Dinner’s gala or […]
Easter in Prague brings folk performances and craft demonstrations to Old Town Square, while St Vitus Cathedral marks the holiday with the Passion liturgy, the Easter Vigil and Sunday worship. Czech families also celebrate with decorated eggs, seasonal baking and an Easter Monday willow-switch custom. Choose separately between joining a service and visiting the cathedral […]
Use an ATM with an identifiable operator, accept only a surcharge you are happy to pay, and choose billing in Czech koruna rather than the machine’s currency conversion. Your card issuer’s charges are separate, so a withdrawal without an operator surcharge can still cost you money. If you need cash on arrival, Václav Havel Airport […]
You can use Prague’s blue, purple and orange parking zones as a visitor, provided the bay’s signed conditions cover your stay and you pay when required. Blue bays are not exclusively for permit holders, but their paid visitor stays are short. Purple bays combine permit and visitor parking, while orange bays serve short-term visitors. Before […]
