  • Old Town Square (Old Town Hall, Prague Astronomical Clock)

    The heart of historic Prague, Old Town Square is surrounded by colorful baroque buildings and buzzes with street performers and cafes. Don’t miss the hourly show of the medieval Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Hall, where carved figures come to life.

  • Jewish Quarter (Josefov)

    This poignant district preserves centuries of Jewish history with its synagogues and the hauntingly beautiful Old Jewish Cemetery. It tells stories of Prague’s once-thriving Jewish community, woven into the city’s cultural fabric.

  • Wenceslas Square (Muzeum, Palác Lucerna, Franciscan Garden)

    A boulevard-like square, Wenceslas Square is both a shopping hub and the historic site of many Czech revolutions. At one end stands the grand National Museum, while tucked nearby are the quirky Lucerna Passage and the peaceful Franciscan Garden.

  • Charles Bridge

    Lined with baroque statues and alive with artists and musicians, this iconic 14th-century bridge connects the Old Town with the Lesser Quarter. It offers stunning views of the Vltava River and Prague Castle, especially at sunrise or sunset.

  • Prague Castle (St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica, Golden Lane, Vyhlídka Na Opyši, Pleskotův tunel)

    A sprawling castle complex overlooking the city, it’s home to gothic marvels like St. Vitus Cathedral and the pastel-colored cottages of Golden Lane. Don’t miss the Na Opyši viewpoint for panoramic views, or the modern Pleskot Tunnel that adds a sleek touch to this historic site.

  • Waldstein Garden

    Tucked behind the Czech Senate, this serene baroque garden features ornamental ponds, peacocks, and a striking dripstone wall. It’s a peaceful escape in the middle of the Lesser Quarter.

  • Petřín Hill & Tower

    A green oasis with rose gardens and winding paths, Petřín Hill offers one of the best views over Prague. Climb the mini Eiffel Tower at the top for a full city panorama.

  • Vyšehrad

    This lesser-known historic fortress sits above the Vltava River, offering calm walks, romantic ruins, and sweeping views. It’s also home to a cemetery honoring Czech national heroes and the beautiful Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul.
