Stroll across Charles Bridge in Prague
Commissioned by King Charles IV in 1357, Prague’s most famous and most breathtaking bridge spans 16 arches, lined with 30 Baroque statues of religious figures. It’s nearly always jam-packed with tourists touring the day, elbowing one another to get the best views, while vendors and photographers vie for space too. Come just before dawn to beat the crowds and enjoy a glorious sunrise.

Walk through Wenceslas Square
One of the main city squares in Prague, Wenceslas Square lies in the heart of the New Town, although it’s not really new- it was laid out in the 14th-century, originally serving as a horse market. This is the entertainment and nightlife hub, a vibrant area used for festivals and parades as well as housing restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.

Visit Ceský Krumlov Castle
Located above the River Vltava, this 13th-century castle with Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic elements dominates the Old Town is was named after. Despite its age, it remains incredibly well preserved, although what still remains primarily dates to the 17th century, like the Royal Apartments, the Chapel of St. George and Renaissance Hall. The 1682 Baroque theater is still used for performances today.

Get Lost in Karlovy Vary
One of the top spa towns in Europe, medieval Karlovy Vary has long been a destination for relaxation, drawing plenty of Europe’s elite over the centuries, like Peter the Greater and famous composers such as Beethoven and Chopin. Wander through to discover its many springs, the breathtaking fountain in the middle of Tepla River, grand colonnades and impressive spa architecture.

Escape Prague to a Bohemian Paradise
Eastern Bohemia is home to an area of stunning natural beauty known as Bohemian Paradise, renowned for its many huge rock formations, which protrude from the ground like pillars and spikes that were carved by the elements and erosion. A UNESCO Geopark, it’s popular for hiking and sightseeing, with natural bridges, basalt columns and more accessed via scenic drives and trails.

Take a Day Out to Kutná Hora
One of the top day trips from Prague, Kutná Hora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that lies just 50 miles east. Once home to a leading European silver mine, its wealth helped to finance many spectacular structures, like the 1338 St. Barbara’s Cathedral. Visitors can learn more about the medieval mining industry at the Czech Museum of Silver.

Discover the Jewish Quarter
Situated between the Vltava River and Old Town in Prague, the Jewish Quarter was birthed in the 13th century when Jews were ordered to evacuate their homes and settle here instead. They were joined by exiled Jews from other European nations too. Many of the buildings were destroyed in the late 19th-century, but six synagogues and other significant historical structures still remain.

Take a Cruise on Vltava River
A cruise on Prague’s river is really a must, providing a unique perspective of its many historic buildings from the water. An excursion of at least two hours is best, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle while enjoy a tranquil experience and perhaps the chance to dine. Many options include lunch or dinner, depending on the time you choose to go.

See the Treasures in St Vitus Cathedral
St. Vitus Cathedral is part of the Prague Castle complex but it’s worth a mention of its own. It houses the Bohemian Coronation Jewels and the tomb of St. Wenceslas, the most revered saint in the Czech Republic. The building itself dates back to 925 AD and features beautiful stained-glass windows and bronze doors adorned with reliefs detailing its history.
