Prague City Guide

Prague | Czech Republic

Prague is a winning combination of Bohemian history, artistic charm and some of the world’s best beer. Read about this iconic city and its highlights in our city guide. The Czech capital of Prague is a winning combination of Bohemian history, artistic charm and some of the world’s best beer. A city ripe for urban adventure, from across the bridges of the Vltava River and Prague’s commanding castle, to a meander through cobbled streets and medieval squares. Unlike other European counterparts, Prague’s historical buildings survived WWII relatively intact, making it a unique place to explore the legacy of centuries. There's the oldest astronomical clock in the world watching over the city's Old Town Square, and for some local tourism with a twist, why not explore a nuclear bunker or stop off in a cajovna (tea shop) for tea?

Petrin Hill and Castle District

Petrin Hill and the Castle District are a must. Petrin Hill is accessible by funicular, which has been in operation since 1891 and also boasts the Prague version of the Eiffel Tower. The castle towers over the Vltava River and is the ideal vantage point for views across the skyline of this 'city of a hundred spires'.

Chateau Jemniste

Enjoy a day out at Chateau Jemniste where descendants of the Czech Republic’s oldest aristocratic family welcome you to their 18th-century Baroque home, not far from Prague. Explore the estate on a private guided tour, and enjoy lunch before watching as birds of prey free-fly during a falconry display.

Old Town Square and Charles Bridge

Beat the crowds and enjoy early morning views with a peaceful stroll across the Old Town Square to the Charles Bridge. The Charles Bridge is the oldest to cross the Vltava River, dating back to 1357. The Old Town Square also has medieval origins and was once Prague's central marketplace. Today it remains the city's historic heart.
