🇨🇿 Prague Travel Guide: The City of a Hundred Spires

📍 Itinerary Overview 3–4 days are perfect to get a feel for Prague. You can explore the old town, cross the iconic Charles Bridge, wander through Prague Castle, and still have time for peaceful moments in Letná Park or sipping coffee by the Vltava River. 🚩 Sightseeing Route Start at Wenceslas Square, head into the Old Town Square to see the Astronomical Clock, then follow the cobblestone streets to Charles Bridge. Cross into Malá Strana (Lesser Town), take the hill up to Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, then end the day at Letná Park or Petrin Hill for sunset views. 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions • Prague Castle – One of the largest castle complexes in the world • Charles Bridge – Lined with statues, artists, and history • Old Town Square – Historic heart of the city with street performers and cafes • Lennon Wall – A colorful symbol of peace and resistance • Vyšehrad – A quieter, ancient fortress with scenic views • Letná Park – For relaxed strolls and the best panoramic view of Prague 🚇 Transportation Public transport is excellent — trams, metro, and buses are clean, reliable, and cheap. A 3-day transport pass is a great deal. But don’t forget: the best parts of Prague are walkable, and strolling its streets is part of the magic. 📷 Photo Spots • Charles Bridge at sunrise • Prague Castle from across the river at night • The view from Letná Park or Petřín Lookout Tower • The Dancing House • The Astronomical Clock striking the hour 🍜 Local Cuisine Try svíčková (beef in creamy sauce with dumplings), goulash, and trdelník (sweet pastry, although touristy — still tasty!). Don’t miss Czech beer — it’s some of the best and cheapest in Europe. Local pubs like Lokal or U Medvídků offer an authentic experience. 🏠 Accommodation Options range from boutique hotels in the Old Town to quiet guesthouses in residential areas. If you’re on a budget, the city offers clean and central hostels. Mid-range hotels often deliver great value. Stay near the center (Prague 1 or 2) to cut down on travel time. 💡 Tips • Wake up early to enjoy famous spots without the crowds • Always validate your public transport ticket • Some places only take cash, so keep a bit of CZK on hand • Tipping: 5–10% is customary if service isn’t included • Don’t exchange currency on the street or in touristy booths — use ATMs or trusted exchange offices (like Exchange.cz near Old Town) Prague is a magical city that feels straight out of a fairy tale. Its gothic towers, baroque palaces, and medieval streets create an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you’re chasing sunsets, exploring castles, or just enjoying a cold beer in a quiet square, Prague stays with you long after you’ve left.
