See & do
Castles, bridges, quarters and quiet corners — what to actually do with your time.
Prague's sights range from the unmissable (Charles Bridge, the Castle, the Astronomical Clock) to the genuinely under-visited (Vyšehrad, Letná Park), and this department covers both ends deliberately — not as a ranked "top 10" but as an honest map of what's worth your time and why. If you're short on days, start with the landmark guides; if you've done Prague once already, the quieter entries here are where a second visit tends to go.
Every See & Do guide, so far
Prague Castle
Reputed to be the largest ancient castle complex in the world by area — this is less a single building than an entire walled hilltop of them.
Charles Bridge
Started in 1357 on the order of Charles IV, this is still the pedestrian spine connecting Old Town to the castle side of the river.
Old Town Square & the Astronomical Clock
The Old Town Hall's clock has been telling the time, and putting on a small show every hour, since 1410.
The Jewish Quarter (Josefov)
One of Europe's best-preserved former Jewish quarters, and a place to walk through slowly rather than tick off quickly.
Vyšehrad
Legend puts it before Prague Castle in age. In practice, it's the version of a Prague hilltop fortress with room to breathe.
Petřín Hill
A wooded hill above Malá Strana with a scaled-down Eiffel Tower on top, and one of the best sunset views the city has to offer.
Prague boat trips
Seeing Charles Bridge and the castle from the water gives you an angle you simply can't get from the banks.
Prague Christmas markets
Wooden stalls, mulled wine and a very large tree — Old Town Square in December is one of the most atmospheric versions of Prague there is.
Wenceslas Square
Prague’s civic boulevard is still one of the city’s essential history stops — but in 2026 it is also an active construction site for the returning tram line.
Kampa Island & the Devíl's Channel
A narrow side-channel of the Vltava splits off just below Charles Bridge, and the little island it creates is one of the calmest corners in the centre.
Franz Kafka's Prague
Kafka's Prague is not one monument. It is a tight Old Town childhood map, a museum across the river, one surreal modern sculpture and a quiet grave well outside the tourist core.
Guided tours in Prague
A guide is worth paying for when the context matters more than simply getting from sight to sight. Pick the format around the question you want answered.
Letná Park
A wide plateau park above the river, with one of Prague's broadest free skyline views and a genuinely strange monument at its heart.
Prague nightlife
The useful way to plan Prague nightlife is by mood and neighbourhood, then work out the late ride home before the first drink.
Prague's museums & galleries
Beyond the historic sights, Prague has a genuinely strong museum and gallery scene, from Art Nouveau masterworks to contemporary art in a converted factory.
Prague with kids
Prague works well for families when you use public transport, parks and one strong child-led attraction to break up the historic sightseeing.
Slovanský Ostrov & Žofín Palace
A small island in the Vltava, a few minutes from the National Theatre, with one of Prague's grandest 19th-century event halls at its centre.
Žižkov Television Tower
Prague's tallest structure, and easily its strangest — a late-communist broadcast tower crawled by giant, faceless bronze babies.
The Clementinum
The second-largest historic building complex in Prague after the castle itself, and home to one of the most beautiful libraries in the world.
