Frequently asked questions
Plan two to three hours to see St Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace and Golden Lane. The castle grounds are free to walk around, but the main buildings need a ticket, so a guided tour with tickets included saves time.
Every hour on the hour during the day, the figures of the twelve apostles appear in the windows above the clock face. Arrive a few minutes early, because the square fills up quickly.
Yes. One ticket from the Jewish Museum covers several historic synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery, and the Old-New Synagogue has its own ticket. The museum is closed on Saturdays and on Jewish holidays.
Yes. Many tours in Prague run in Spanish, including castle tours, the Jewish Quarter, small-group city tours and free walking tours.
Early in the morning, before about 8 am, and late in the evening. By the middle of the day the bridge is full of visitors, artists and musicians.
Try svíčková, beef in a creamy vegetable sauce with dumplings, goulash, and roast pork with sauerkraut. Czech beer is famous, and a fresh pilsner in a traditional pub is part of any visit.
Yes. Český Krumlov is a small UNESCO-listed town with a castle above a bend in the river, and it feels like a fairy tale. It is about three hours from Prague, so it makes a long but memorable day.
Yes. The Terezín memorial, a former fortress used as a ghetto and prison during the Second World War, is about an hour north of Prague. Guided visits explain its history with care.
Yes. Free walking tours cost nothing to book. At the end, guests give the guide a tip based on how much they enjoyed it. Tours with entry to the castle or the synagogues are paid.
Yes, from late November until early January. The biggest markets are on the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, with mulled wine, sausages and a giant Christmas tree.
Prague grew up on both banks of the Vltava: the castle and the Lesser Town on the hill to the west, the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter on the flat ground to the east, and Charles Bridge joining the two. The centre came through the wars of the 20th century almost untouched, which is why it still looks the way it did centuries ago.
Start at Prague Castle, one of the largest ancient castle complexes in the world, with St Vitus Cathedral and Golden Lane inside its walls. Walk down through Malá Strana and across Charles Bridge, lined with Baroque statues, to the Old Town Square, the Týn Church and the Astronomical Clock. North of the square, the Jewish Quarter keeps its historic synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery.
Prague is also a city of beer and hearty food: goulash, svíčková and a fresh pilsner in a traditional pub. Many tours here run in Spanish, from the castle with tickets to a full day with the best of Prague. Beyond the city, day trips go to Český Krumlov, Kutná Hora, Karlovy Vary, Dresden and the Terezín memorial. For a first look at both banks, there are tip-based free walking tours.
About Prague
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of Europe's best-preserved historic cities, known for its skyline of spires, domes and red rooftops set along the Vltava River. Often called the “City of a Hundred Spires”, it grew from a medieval crossroads of trade into the seat of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors.
The historic centre — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — spans several distinct quarters: the Old Town with its famous Astronomical Clock and Týn Church, the Jewish Quarter with its historic synagogues and cemetery, the Lesser Town beneath the castle, and the New Town founded by Charles IV. Charles Bridge, lined with Baroque statues, links the two banks and remains the city's most iconic landmark.
Above it all sits Prague Castle, one of the largest ancient castle complexes in the world and home to St. Vitus Cathedral. Together with its café culture, Bohemian glass, classical-music heritage and famous Czech beer, Prague offers a rich mix of history and everyday life to discover on foot.
What to expect on a Prague experience
Prague splits neatly into two days: the castle side and the Old Town side. Castle tours climb to Hradčany for St Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace and Golden Lane, then walk down through Malá Strana to Charles Bridge. Old Town tours cover the square, the Astronomical Clock, the Týn Church and the Jewish Quarter, often with entry to the synagogues.
Some castle tours add a stop for Czech food and beer, and full-day tours fit both banks into one day for visitors who are short of time.
Many tours in Prague run in Spanish, some in small groups and some privately. The language of every tour is shown on its page, so you can pick the one that suits you.
Best time to visit
Prague is a year-round destination, and the best time to visit depends on the experience you're looking for.
Spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) are the most comfortable seasons for sightseeing, with mild temperatures, longer days and fewer crowds than peak summer. Summer (July–August) is lively and warm but busiest around the main landmarks. Winter (November–February) is cold but atmospheric, with Christmas markets on the Old Town Square and a quieter, snow-dusted old town. Tours run in every season, so comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate layers are always a good idea.
Getting around
Prague's historic centre is compact and best explored on foot — most major sights in the Old Town, Jewish Quarter, Lesser Town and Castle district are within walking distance of one another.
For longer distances, the city has an efficient, integrated public-transport network of metro, trams and buses on a single ticket. Historic trams and the metro connect the main districts quickly, and the funicular to Petřín Hill offers great views. Many old-town streets are cobbled and the Castle district involves some uphill walking, so comfortable footwear matters. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely available for door-to-door trips.
