1) Prague Castle

Alright, let’s kick things off with a classic – the iconic Prague Castle. This isn’t just any castle; it’s actually the largest ancient castle complex in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. Perched high above the city, it offers jaw-dropping views of Prague that you’ll want to capture.

Within its expansive complex, you’ll find gems like St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, and the adorable Golden Lane. Don’t miss the Changing of the Guard ceremony; it’s an experience in itself.

Local tip? Go early to avoid the crowds and have a more serene castle experience. Trust me, there’s a whole different kind of magic when you have the courtyards almost to yourself.

Tickets and opening hours

Entrance to the Prague Castle Complex is free. In case you wish to visit also interiors you will need a ticket. The basic ticket for the Castle is around 250 CZK, all the information regarding tickets can be found here.

The Castle area is open from 6 AM to 10 PM, but the historical buildings open from 9 AM to 5 PM.

2) St. Vitus Cathedral

While you’re exploring Prague Castle, you simply can’t miss the St. Vitus Cathedral. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by intricate stained-glass windows, astonishing sculptures, and soaring Gothic spires. This isn’t just a place of worship; it’s the final resting place for many Czech kings and a showpiece of Czech history.

Tickets and Opening Hours

Entrance to some parts of the cathedral is free, then there is a general circuit that is included in the Prague Castle Ticket, but if you want access to the Great South Tower, you’ll need a special ticket. The cathedral’s opening hours can be found here.

So, you’ve marveled at Prague Castle and soaked in the gothic grandeur of St. Vitus Cathedral—what’s next?

3) Petřín Hill and Observation Tower

A leisurely walk from the castle will get you to Petřín Hill with its Observation Tower! Often referred to as Prague’s ‘mini-Eiffel Tower,’ this iron structure is far more than a Parisian knockoff. Well, it was built as part of the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891, like a free scaled-down replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, with a ratio of 1:5. Standing at a height of 58.70 meters, which is at the same altitude as the actual Eiffel Tower. Climb its 299 steps for a panoramic view that’s nothing short of breathtaking.

But Petřín that’s not just the Observations Tower. Beyond the tower, you’ll find a captivating Mirror Maze, beautifully landscaped gardens, and park areas with panoramic views of Prague. It’s a multifaceted retreat right in the city.

In case you are visiting Petřín from the Lesser Town, you can use the Petřín funicular! It is part of the public transportation system, so it’s not expensive.

Tickets and Opening Hours

• Petřín Tower – Opening hours and ticket prices can be found here. Tickets are sold at the tower.
• Mirror Maze – Opening hours and ticket prices can be found here.

In case you plan to visit both the Tower and Mirror Maze – buy the combined ticket, which is cheaper.

4) St. Nicholas Church

As you descend from Petřín Hill you can walk or take a short tram ride to Malostranské náměstí, where you will find the St. Nicholas Church. This Prague landmark is famed for its extraordinary interior, including a sky-high dome that rises 70 meters and spans 20 meters in diameter. The frescoes that adorn the church are equally captivating, as are the intricately decorated altar, pulpit, and organ.

Regarding entry, guided tours usually cost around 200 CZK, though you can enter for less without a guide. Time might be tight but take note for future visits: the church regularly hosts beautiful concerts worth experiencing.

5) John Lennon Wall

A short stroll from St. Nicholas Church will lead you to an entirely different Prague landmark—the John Lennon Wall. Situated just off Malostranské náměstí, this ever-changing mural has been a symbol of peace, love, and artistic freedom since the 1980s.

It started as a form of protest against the Communist regime and has evolved into a dynamic canvas that invites contributions from locals and tourists alike.

6) Charles Bridge

A short walk from John Lennon Wall will lead you to the timeless Charles Bridge. Stretching over the Vltava River, this 14th-century stone bridge serves as a living gallery of baroque sculptures and a vantage point offering unparalleled views of Prague.

Whether it’s the silhouette of Prague Castle in the distance or the musicians and artists that line the bridge, every element tells a story. From dawn when the mist rises off the Vltava, to dusk when the sun sets behind the castle, Charles Bridge offers a poetic frame to Prague’s many faces.

There are many interesting legends around the bridge. And if you like superstition you can try this: Find the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, located here. The statue has a bronze plaque depicting St. John being thrown off the bridge. Rub the plaque to bring yourself good luck and ensure that you will return to Prague.

7) Old Town Square

After crossing Charles Bridge, your next stop is the Old Town Square. This is the city’s historical and cultural epicenter. Here, the past and present coalesce in an arresting display of architectural styles, from Gothic to Baroque and Renaissance.

Whether it’s the imposing Church of Our Lady before Týn, the grandeur of St. Nicholas Church in Old Town, the famous Astronomical Clock, or the intricate façades that surround the square, each building adds a layer to Prague’s rich historical tapestry. Street performers, local artisans, and seasonal markets contribute to the square’s ever-changing yet timeless atmosphere.

Old Town Square Highlights

• Týnský Chrám (Church of Our Lady before Týn) – This church stands out in Old Town Square with its twin Gothic spires. Inside, a 17th-century high altar captivates visitors. Historically, it’s notable for its shifts from Hussite to Catholic significance.
• Mariánský Sloup (Marian Column) – This Baroque column, topped by a golden Virgin Mary, was erected after the Thirty Years’ War. Removed in 1918 for its Habsburg ties, it has since been restored, symbolizing Prague’s layered history.
• Staroměstská Radnice (Old Town Hall) – A blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, Old Town Hall has been a hub for social and political activities over the years. It houses Prague’s main tourist center and offers panoramic views from its tower.
• Kostel sv. Mikuláše (St. Nicholas Church in Old Town) – Located in Old Town Square, this is not to be confused with the St. Nicholas Church in Lesser Town Square. Though smaller, its stunning interiors and historical roots as a Benedictine church make it a must-visit site.

8) Astronomical Clock

Let’s talk about one of Prague’s most visited landmarks—the Astronomical Clock, or Orloj in Czech. Found on the southern wall of Old Town Hall, this intricate timekeeping device dates back to 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still in operation.

More than just a clock, it’s a mechanical marvel that showcases the positions of the Sun and Moon, as well as other astronomical details. But the clock isn’t just about cosmic alignments; every hour, on the hour, people gather to witness the “Walk of the Apostles,” a mechanical performance that has been enchanting viewers for centuries. It’s a spectacle that weaves together time, astronomy, and folklore, representing Prague’s penchant for blending the practical with the poetic.

TIP: Don’t miss the hourly show – be there several minutes earlier to catch the spot. It’s brief but worth it. 

9) Jewish Quarter

As you wander away from the bustling Old Town Square, a brief stroll takes you into the heart of Prague’s Jewish Quarter—Josefov. Named after Emperor Joseph II, who eased living conditions for the Jews in the late 18th century.

This area is more than just a collection of well-preserved synagogues and the hauntingly beautiful Old Jewish Cemetery. From the Spanish Synagogue’s Moorish interiors to the Old-New Synagogue’s Gothic architecture, each site serves as a chapter in a complex story that spans centuries.

Must-Visit Sites of the Jewish Quarter

• Old-New Synagogue: The Old-New Synagogue is the oldest active synagogue in Europe, dating back to the 13th century.
• Old Jewish Cemetery: One of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Europe, with tombstones dating back to the 15th century.
• Jewish Museum: Comprises several buildings including the Maisel Synagogue, Pinkas Synagogue, and the Ceremonial Hall.
• Klausen Synagogue: Houses an exhibition on Jewish customs and traditions.
• Spanish Synagogue: Known for its Moorish interior and a museum on the history of Jews in Bohemia.

10) Powder Tower

As one of the original 13 city gates, the Powder Tower—locally known as Prašná brána—marks the boundary between Old Town and New Town. This Gothic tower, originally built in the 15th century, gained its name from its later use as a gunpowder storage facility. Today, it serves as a striking architectural landmark where you can climb up for a panoramic view of Prague’s ever-blending old and new landscapes. You can find opening hours here.

11) Municipal House

Adjacent to the Powder Tower, the Municipal House, or Obecní dům, is a stunning example of Art Nouveau architecture. Famous for its intricate stained glass and sumptuous murals, this building is a hub of cultural activities, housing concert halls, exhibition spaces, and fine dining establishments.

Its Smetana Hall is particularly renowned as a venue for classical concerts. A guided tour is well worth it. You marvel at the intricate mosaics, stained glass, and elaborate chandeliers that adorn the interior.

12) Wenceslas Square

Stretching out in the shape of a long rectangle, this is less a traditional “square” and more a vibrant boulevard, lined with shops, restaurants, and various forms of entertainment.

But don’t let its contemporary bustle fool you; Wenceslas Square is steeped in history. Named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia, the square has been the stage for significant political events and demonstrations, from the declaration of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 to the anti-communist Velvet Revolution of 1989.

A statue of Saint Wenceslas atop his horse dominates one end, serving both as a meeting point and as a symbol of national resilience. Behind the statue, anchoring the top of Wenceslas Square is the National Museum, the oldest and largest in the Czech Republic.

13) Dancing House (Tančící dům)

The Dancing House is a modern architectural wonder in Prague. The main highlight is its strikingly unique design, resembling a pair of dancers in motion. Located by the Vltava River, it’s a fantastic spot to take pictures. Dancing House offers a fascinating contrast to Prague’s medieval and Baroque architecture.

14) Taste Czech beer at Letná Beer Garden

Perched atop Letná Hill and easily accessible from the city center, Letná Beer Garden is an oasis that combines two Czech passions: beer and the outdoors.

With its relaxed atmosphere, this beer garden is where locals and tourists alike come to savor quality Czech beer while enjoying unparalleled views of the Vltava River and the Prague skyline. It’s a spot where the Czech beer culture—known for its quality and tradition—gets to shine in a picturesque setting. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience the local lifestyle while soaking in some of the best views the city has to offer.

15) Taste Czech Food

Exploring Prague isn’t just about the sites. Czech cuisine, often underrated, offers a range of flavors from hearty to subtle. Think roasted meats, dumplings, and tangy sauerkraut, balanced by sweet treats like fruit dumplings.

Don’t miss out on tasting local dishes like guláš, svíčková, vepřo-knedlo-zelo, or fried cheese to get a true sense of Czech culinary tradition. If you are a fan of street food or little sack, don’t miss trying out some of these Traditional Czech Street Foods.

Prague Hidden Gems

If you want to explore every corner of Prague and find out about many more hidden gems, hop to the 59 Prague Hidden Gems & Non-touristy Things to Do article. Otherwise, let’s have a look at the best of these:

16) Vyšehrad Castle

Situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Vltava River, Vyšehrad is often considered Prague’s “second castle.” Founded in the 10th century, it’s a place shrouded in legend—said to be the seat of the first Czech rulers.

Today, it serves as both a historical site and an inviting park area. One of its highlights is the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, a neo-Gothic church with stunning murals. Equally compelling is the Vyšehrad Cemetery, the final resting place of many notable Czechs like composers Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana.

The fortress walls offer magnificent views of Prague.

17) Museum of Communism

This was a sad reality of the years 1948 – 1989. Communism had a devastating impact on Czechoslovakia, which was one of Europe’s most developed nations back at the beginning of the 20th century.

This museum features a range of exhibits, from propaganda posters to historical artifacts, offering a nuanced look at life during this period. Far removed from the standard tourist track, a visit here provides a deeper understanding of the socio-political forces that have shaped the modern-day Czech Republic.

18) Old Jewish Cemetery

Nestled within Prague’s Jewish Quarter, the Old Jewish Cemetery serves as a solemn reminder of the city’s intricate and often fraught history with its Jewish community. Established in the 15th century, this cemetery is one of the oldest in Europe.

Due to space constraints and religious laws prohibiting the removal of gravestones, several layers of graves were added over the centuries, resulting in a uniquely crowded and uneven landscape. The site contains approximately 12,000 tombstones and around 40,000 ritually buried remains.

19) Paddle Boats at Vltava River

Often missed by tourists focusing on Prague’s historic sites, renting a paddle boat on the Vltava River offers a fun and laid-back way to see the city. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic activity or a family wanting some outdoor fun, this is a great option.

As you paddle along, you’ll get unique views of iconic landmarks like Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. It’s a lovely way to spend an hour or two, especially on a sunny day, and it allows you to experience Prague from a whole new perspective.

We recommend booking this tour: 2-Hour Paddle Boarding in the City Centre

20) Pragulic Tour: See Prague Through a Different Lens

For those looking to go beyond traditional sightseeing, the Pragulic Tour offers an eye-opening experience. This unique tour is guided by people who have experienced homelessness, giving visitors an alternative view of Prague, complete with stories you won’t hear on standard city tours.

You’ll learn about the hidden corners and communities that make up the city’s fabric, all while contributing to a social enterprise that aims to support marginalized individuals. Not your average tourist activity, a Pragulic Tour is a meaningful way to deepen your understanding of Prague and its diverse communities.

21) Nový Svět (New World)

If you’re looking to escape the crowds and see a more secluded side of Prague, consider a visit to the “New World.” This charming neighborhood is just a short walk from Prague Castle, but it feels like a different world.

With its narrow lanes, tiny colorful houses, and absence of shops and crowds it’s a delightful place to wander, take photos, and get a sense of what Prague might have been like in earlier times.

22) Golden Lane

Tucked away within the Prague Castle complex, Golden Lane is often missed by visitors focused on the castle’s more prominent features. Yet this quaint, cobblestoned alley offers a glimpse into a different, more intimate side of Prague’s history.

Originally built at the end of the 15th century to house the castle’s archers, guards, and goldsmiths, it later became home to artisans, and according to legend, alchemists.

Its small, colorful houses now serve as shops, museums, and exhibition spaces. House No. 22 is particularly notable as it was briefly the home of writer Franz Kafka.

23) Beer Spa

If you’re looking for an experience that combines Czech culture with ultimate relaxation, look no further than a beer spa. Yes, you read that right—a spa where you can soak in a tub filled with beer ingredients!

It’s quirky but popular, and it’s said to have health benefits like improved skin and circulation. While soaking, you often have the added perk of unlimited beer on tap to enjoy. A visit to a beer spa offers a uniquely Czech way to unwind and is perfect for those looking to try something a little out of the ordinary.

We recommend Bernard Beer Spa with Beer and Massage Option.

24) Wallenstein Garden

Located adjacent to the Senate of the Czech Republic, Wallenstein Garden is a stunning example of Baroque landscape architecture. A true hidden gem, the garden features intricate geometric designs, statues, fountains, and even a koi pond.

One of the garden’s coolest features is the Dripstone Wall, a unique rock wall that looks like it’s dripping. This garden offers a quiet place to relax and is worth visiting to see a different side of Prague’s rich history. The best thing about it is that there is no entry fee.

25) Black Light Theatre

If you’re looking for a unique cultural experience in Prague, don’t miss the chance to see a Black Light Theatre show. This form of theatre is a mix of dance, mime, and visual effects, all set in a dark room illuminated by black lights.

This type of theater uses special lighting effects to create the illusion of objects floating in the air. The result is a captivating blend of colors, movement, and storytelling that seems almost magical.

Originating in Asia but honed to perfection in the Czech Republic, Black Light Theatre offers a mesmerizing and creative form of entertainment.

26) Fanta’s Building of Prague Main Station

The dispatch building designed by architect Josef Fanta is part of the main railway station in Prague and, together with the adjacent hall over the platforms, forms the largest Art Nouveau monument in the Czech Republic. In 1976, the main station was listed among the immovable cultural monuments, and since November 1, 1993, it has been part of the urban conservation area of Vinohrady, Žižkov, and Vršovice.

Many visitors coming to Prague by train won’t even notice this hidden gem, because they are walking through the modern parts of the Main Station. But if you have some spare time, I encourage you to visit the beautiful Fantova kavárna (Fanta’s café) and enjoy the history in this lovely Art Nouveau place. You can find out more about the building here.

27) Museum of Senses

For a break from historical sites and a dip into the unusual, head to the Museum of Senses. This interactive space is designed to challenge your perceptions and awaken your senses in unexpected ways.

From optical illusions to rooms that mess with your sense of balance, this museum offers an array of exhibits that are both educational and fun. It’s an ideal spot for families or anyone looking to add a quirky, engaging element to their Prague itinerary.

It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking to experience the city’s natural beauty without venturing far from the center. Just a short tram ride away, Divoká Šárka provides a refreshing change of pace for those who want to experience more than just Prague’s urban charm.

29) Museum of Miniatures

For a truly unique and often-overlooked experience, make sure to visit the Museum of Miniatures. This charming institution is dedicated to the art of miniature objects and scenes, some of which can only be properly viewed through a microscope.

From tiny books to incredibly detailed bicycle, the craftsmanship on display is nothing short of remarkable. Situated not far from Prague Castle, it’s easy to fit into a broader day of sightseeing.

30) Vítkov Hill: Visit the National Memorial

Vítkov Hill is a site of national importance, housing the National Monument. The memorial building on top of Vítkov Hill was built between the years 1928 and 1938 in honor of the Czechoslovak legionaries. It’s also home to the gigantic equestrian statue of Jan Žižka, a legendary Czech military leader.

31) The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord

This church is a unique architectural landmark located in Prague’s Vinohrady district. Designed by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik, it’s notable for its massive clock face integrated into the church tower, making it distinctly modern compared to Prague’s mostly Gothic and Baroque religious buildings.

The interior is equally striking with its art deco elements and geometric designs. Beyond its architectural appeal, the church offers an atmosphere of serenity and introspection.

32) Břevnov Monastery: Explore this ancient monastery

Břevnov Monastery is a centuries-old monastery, which dates back to the 10th century. The complex features a stunning Baroque Basilica, tranquil courtyards, and a picturesque garden.

While entrance to certain areas may require a fee, the exterior and the peaceful ambiance of the monastery are equally captivating. Břevnov Monastery provides a glimpse into Prague’s religious heritage.

Best Tours to Experience Prague

Unusual and Bizarre Things to Do in Prague

Let’s look at some of the sights you don’t need to spend money on. A full list of over 65 free things to do in Prague is here.

41) The Smallest House in Prague (2,25 m wide)

Located in Anežská Street, you can find the city’s tiniest house. It measures just 2 and a quarter meter in width (88 inches). It was built in 1853 and designed by architect Josef Liebel. Once it served as a brothel. Nowadays, only the facade of the original dwelling remains, and it is an entrance to the inhabited rear section.

The alley in which the house is nestled once served as a secondary entrance to the courtyard of the U Křikavů house in Řásnovka. Over the centuries, this passage transformed into a residential space.

42) Stroll through the narrowest alley in Prague

The nameless street leading from “U Lužického semináře” Street to the garden of the Čertovka restaurant, is so narrow that a traffic light needed to be installed. It stands as the last remaining fire alley in Malá Strana. It is the last remaining fire alley in Malá Strana.

Measuring a mere 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) at its narrowest point, this street stands as a quirky and delightful treasure that fascinates both locals and visitors alike.

43) Upside-down horse sculpture

David Černý’s Upside-down Horse sculpture in Prague symbolizes rebellion and social commentary, depicting Saint Wenceslas riding an upside-down dead horse. Unveiled by Černý, it has become an integral part of Prague’s art scene, serving as a reminder to question established narratives and engage with Czech history.

The sculpture can be found at Pasáž Lucerna, Vodičkova, 110 00 Nové Město.

44) Rotating Head of Franz Kafka Statue

 Positioned just a stone’s throw away from Prague’s busy shopping boulevard, Na Příkopě stands a mesmerizing work of modern art: the Rotating Head of Franz Kafka. Created by the renowned Czech sculptor David Černý, this 11-meter-tall statue is composed of 42 rotating layers that continuously form and deconstruct the famous face of Franz Kafka, one of Prague’s most celebrated literary figures.

The sculpture’s dynamic and ever-shifting nature is not only a technical marvel but also symbolically represents Kafka’s complex personality and the existential intricacies prevalent in his writings.

45) Park of Brutalist Miniatures by Kryštof Kintera in Klárov

Klárov Park, nestled near Prague Castle, offers a picturesque green space for relaxation and leisure. You can also discover Brutalist Miniatures by Kryštof Kintera. You may be surprised to learn that all the models are already broken – and it’s not the vandals’ fault this time – Kintera himself wanted to draw attention to the fragility of architecture by targeted destruction. The miniatures are interestingly illuminated during the evening.

46) Two peeing Figuers Statue: A combination of humor, art, and provocation

Just outside the Franz Kafka Museum in the Malá Strana district, visitors often find themselves amused and intrigued by the “Peeing Figures” statue. Crafted by the ever-controversial Czech artist David Černý, this sculpture features two male figures standing atop a map of the Czech Republic, with a dynamic water mechanism that makes it appear as though they are urinating onto the country.

The figures’ pelvises and hips move, creating a whimsical, if not irreverent, display as they “write” quotes from famous Prague residents with their streams. You can also have some of your own words written if you send a text message to a special number (listed by the sculpture).

While the statue’s playful nature often elicits chuckles from passersby, it’s also an invitation to reflect on the deeper commentary Černý may be making about the nation’s political and cultural landscape.

47) Explore Paternosters

The Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT) offers visitors and students an intriguing mechanical adventure in the form of its paternosters. These continuously moving elevators, reminiscent of a bygone era, consist of a chain of open compartments that move slowly in a loop without stopping, allowing passengers to hop on and off at their desired floor. A rarity in modern buildings due to safety standards, the paternosters at the Czech Technical University provide a unique blend of history and engineering marvels.

Good thing is that you don’t need to visit directly ČVUT because there are more than 30 of them in Prague. The most famous one is in Prague City Hall (Mariánské náměstí 2). 

48) Provocative Piece “Brown-nosers”

Located in the courtyard of the Futura Gallery in Smíchov (Holečkova Street), this sculpture by David Černý is a provocative piece that challenges conventional norms and sparks debate. As a local, I find it to be a compelling example of Prague’s edgy contemporary art scene.

The sculpture features a giant lower human torso where visitors can climb a ladder and stick their heads into the rear end to view a video playing inside. It’s a bold statement on political sycophancy and the nature of power. The experience is as unsettling as it is thought-provoking.

Family-friendly Things to Do in Prague

Prague is known for its traditional pubs, known as hospody. These pubs serve a variety of Czech beers and traditional Czech dishes. They’re a great place to experience the local culture and to enjoy a delicious meal.

• U Glaubiců – located in Lesser Town. I can highly recommend their Roast duck with red cabbage and dumplings.
• Střídačka (The Hockey Bench) – a restaurant owned by two Czech famous ice hockey players. They offer only two meal options every day and that means the best quality and freshness.
• Restaurant U Mecenáše
• Lokál Dlouhá – Dlouhá means long in Czech, once you are there you will see why.
