Top Things to Do

Powered by GetYourGuide

Good to know !

Recommended starting point

No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: Au 22 Malostranské náměstí.

Recommended parking

Valdštejnské nám. 17/4, 118 00 Malá Strana

Are you bringing a car to Prague? If so, here is some useful advice! There are four coloured parking zones in Prague. Blue zones are reserved for residents—so visitors, hands off! The purple zones are open to residents, company vehicles, and visitors for a maximum of 24 hours. The orange zones are good for tourists, you can park for up to six hours. Finally, the green zones on the outskirts allow parking for up to two hours, with public transport nearby.
Finding free parking in Prague is like looking for a needle in a haystack – but not impossible! Your best bet is to leave your car in residential areas on the outskirts and take public transport to the city center. At least during the week—on weekends, you can park in places marked with signs reading “Po-Pa” instead of “Po-Ne.” But remember to stay away from the blue zones!
There are two other important things to know once you’ve parked: do not park within three meters of a pedestrian crossing and do not obstruct street cleaning. Look out for a blue sign with a red border, featuring a red cross, that reads “Čištění komunikací”, meaning street cleaning – especially if you want to avoid a trip to the impound…

Visit info

During our tour, you will pass through Prague Castle and Petřín Hill. These sites have specific opening and closing hours. If they are closed when you arrive, you will need to take one of the following routes to get back on track with the tour.
From Prague Castle : Zámecké schody street -> Thunovská street
From Petřín hill : Újezd street -> Karmelitská street

Like all top tourist destinations, Prague offers benefits and discounts on transport and activities with the Prague Card. It’s a great option for exploring the city at your own pace while taking advantage of special offers.

Weather

The temperature in Prague generally averages around 9°C due to its continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers. January and February are the coldest months, with lows of around -1°C. On the other hand, July and August are the warmest months, with highs reaching around 25°C or even more. The rainiest months are from May to July.
We recommend visiting between May and September, but there is always a chance of occasional rain.

Currency

The Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna (CZK or Kč for short).

Got Some Extra Time?

Just because Prague is a compact city, doesn’t mean there isn’t lots to see! When thinking about what to do in Prague, it’s more time and money that you have to worry about, rather than thinking about what to do! Usually, only certain parts of Prague’s landmarks are free to see…Otherwise you have to pay an entry fee for complete access.To make sure you don’t go over budget, here is a list of places, some free, some not, that are essential for a perfect trip to Prague.

 

Want to go above and beyond?

We strongly recommend visiting Prague Castle, even if it does mean spending some money. While our itinerary already takes you there, most of its famous landmarks can only be accessed if you pay to enter. If you buy a combined entry ticket, you’ll be able to explore the whole of the world’s largest ancient castle. On your way there or back, make a slight detour to Vinarna Certovka Street. At just 50 to 70 centimeters wide, it holds

the title of the narrowest street in Prague. It’s so narrow that a traffic light was installed to regulate the traffic—one person at a time.

 

From maps to monuments

With its mix of Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau, and Cubist architecture, Prague has been, and continues to be, a muse for countless architects and artists, both renowned and lesser-known. Among contemporary names, David Černý is undoubtedly the most well known in the Czech capital. By now, you may already be familiar with his crawling babies on Kampa Island or his upside-down statue of King Wenceslas on his horse. But his work doesn’t stop there. Other pieces include the rotating head of Franz Kafka at the entrance of the Quadrio shopping center and more of his crawling babies adorning the Žižkov Television Tower. The Dancing House by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić is one of the most intriguing and photographed landmarks in Prague. This building is a symbol of revolution and freedom, commemorating the fall of the communist regime in 1989. Its dynamic design is also reminiscent of the famous dancing duo Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, earning it its nickname.

 

Mother Nature

After all that walking, how about a break? Good for the body, the mind, and the wallet, Letná Park is a vast green space stretching along the left bank of the Vltava River, with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Another similar, but smaller, spot is Riegrovy Sady on the right bank, offering plenty of greenery, with clear views of Prague’s beauty. It’s up to you to choose which one to go to…

 

A wellbeing break

Refreshing and full of unexpected benefits, beer is a national pride of the Czech Republic. Not only do the locals drink it, earning them the title of the world’s top beer consumers, but they also use it for beauty and relaxation. Treat yourself to a Beer Spa, where you can soak in a bubbling beer bath.

 

Even more to see

If there’s one more must-see in Prague, it’s undoubtedly the Jewish Museum. You’ll see the historic synagogue, the more recent Old-New Synagogue, and the Old Jewish Cemetery. This institution traces the history, traditions, and customs of the Jewish community in Bohemia and Central Europe. It’s a fascinating and moving experience.

 

A tour of the surroundings

Finally, if you’re still looking for more to do, why not explore what the surroundings of Prague have to offer – these recommendations are no more than an hour and a half away from the city! Firstly, there’s Kutná Hora. This historic village is particularly famous for its UNESCO-listed ossuary. Or visit Karlovy Vary, a world-renowned spa town. Finally, for a more somber experience, visit the former fortress Terezín, known for its concentration camp, where more than 150,000 Jewish prisoners were deported. More than 33,000 people died there, and more than 80,000 people were transferred to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. If one of these recommendations has piqued your interest, you can find more information on our website.
