The 10 Top Attractions in Prague

Despite its relatively small size, the Czech capital of Prague is jam-packed with magnificent sights, each endowed with a long and varied history. To make the most of your visit there, make sure to include these 10 attractions in your itinerary.

Vltava River

The Vltava River cuts across Prague's centre. Jump aboard one of the many tour boats and take in the wonderful sights on both sides of the river while sipping a delicious Czech beer.

Charles Bridge

600 years old, Charles Bridge is one of Prague's most iconic landmarks. Beautifully decorated with rows of 30 baroque-style statues, it's a perfect spot for a romantic stroll.

Old Town Square

The Old Town Square in Prague offers a charmingly eclectic mix of architectural styles spanning several centuries – undoubtedly one of Europe's most beautiful sights.

Prague Castle

The largest ancient castle in the world, as well as one of the most gorgeous, Prague Castle has been home to all the different Czech heads of state ever since the 9th century.

Prague National Theatre

The Prague National Theatre is a resplendent neo-Renaissance building on the banks of the Vltava River, magnificent both inside and out, is often singled out as the finest achievement of Czech architecture.

Jewish Quarter (Josefov)

Despite its turbulent history, the Jewish Quarter in Prague has maintained most of its historical buildings and is now the best preserved Jewish historical complex in Europe.

Wenceslas Square

Now a lively shopping and tourist area, Wenceslas Square at the center of Prague's New Town has been the site of many of the city's most important events throughout history.

Astronomical Clock

Dating back to 1410, this astronomical clock is the third-oldest in the world and the oldest still in operation. Don't miss its fantastic moving display on the hour, every hour.

Kampa Island

Located between Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, Kampa Island's romantic atmosphere will enchant you. From its banks you can enjoy the best views of Pragues's many monuments.

St. Vitus Cathedral

An example of Gothic architecture at its finest, the spectacular St. Vitus Cathedral is the largest church in the country as well as one of the most important.

Planning Your Prague Visit

Discover Czech Beer

True to its reputation, Czech beer is delicious. A newcomer might be confused by the beer's alcohol content, however. Don't worry, the numbers given to the beers don't indicate their alcohol percentage. They refer to the alcohol degree, which is a much more complicated factor. As a rule of thumb, 10 and 12 degrees, the most common, are equivalent to roughly 4% and 5% respectively. Some beers go all the way up to 19 degrees – that's 8% alcohol!

Try a Czech Hot Dog

Believe it or not, one of Prague's culinary highlights are its hot dogs. Infinitely superior to their American counterparts, these delicious sausages stuffed in French baguettes offer the best cheap lunch in town. Stalls are peppered throughout the city, just take your pick!

Fun activity on a rainey night in prague

Dont judge this place by its entrance it looks dodgy but its really not. Had great fun with my boyfriend for about 2 hours in here. The deal with 2 drinks each was great. We played a few other games like air hockey and jenga. It was just good old fashioned fun, would recommend on a rainy night.

A useful tour a exploring basic history of Prague and a 6km walk.

A very interesting tour that incorporated a basic history of Prague within a 6km walk which included taking the tube, visiting a church, brewery and experiencing local food and drink. The guide (Sasha), is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic person. His English is excellent and explains things in a thorough manner. We also learned about the underground system(very useful), and visiting less populated areas in the southeast of the city.

Prague City Card: 2-Day, 3-Day or 4-Day Reviewed by a GetYourGuide customer, 12/08/2018

Our tour was most informative and our guides were 5 Star!

I am most impressed with Get Your Guide. We had an in depth tour of Terezin with Jana and she was most personable and knowledgeable. We had a group of 9 ages 11 to 66 along with my disabled grandson and she was able to engage with all of our group effortlessly. This tour is a must for any student of history. We bought several books at the ghetto museum at her recommendation and I feel my Grandchildren will benefit from this tour as a most important part of education. Forget history/repeat history. This was a most important reflection of and ugly past. I highly recommend this tour.

Thomas was excellent - friendly efficient helpful & very knowledgeable

Thomas knew his stuff, both in terms of ideal locations but also in terms of demonstrating different techniques. Very helpful in explaining what, How & why different elements were included in the composition. Totally committed with noticeably more input and time provided than scheduled. Good value for money. I am now inspired to use more of the techniques regularly. Thank you.
