What to see in Prague

Prague is a city you´ll fall in love with immediately! Go through our list of the top things to see in Prague and you´ll know we´re right. 

Old Town Square

Don´t miss the “orloj” - a historical mechanical clock - which starts its unique show at the top of every hour. Apostles begin their walk and thefigure of Death rings its bell to remind us of our mortality. The inside of the Old Town Hall is definitely worth a visit too.

Wenceslas Square

This square is much more about shopping and protesting for the Czechs than about admiring architecture - here were the largest protests held during theVelvet Revolution and the statue of St. Wenceslas is to this day a meeting point for both political rallies and private rendezvous.

Municipal House

The Municipal House was built to showcase the arts and crafts of the Czech lands during the 19th century and the so called Czech National Revival. Its outside and inside is truly beautiful and you can admire both on a guided tour, during a concert in one of the many halls or while dining in one of the charmingFin de siècle restaurantslocated in the building.

Dancing House

Loved by some, despised by many - that´s the Dancing House - an example of modern post-communist architecture in Prague designed by the well-known Frank Genry and Vlado Milunić with a goal to evoke constant motion. Make your own opinion while having a cup of coffee at the panoramatic bar on its roof.

Charles Bridge

Cross the river using the medieval Charles Bridge lined with 30 baroque-style statues. Climb upTheOld Town bridge tower to have a look at the big picture, listen to buskers playing old Prague songs and buy a picture of the bridge from one of the many painters.

Malá Strana

The Charles Bridge will lead you from the Old Town to Malá strana - a picturesque quarter under the Prague castle with stylish pubs, hidden passages andpalaces of the noblemen that used to rule the country. Do not miss the Wallenstein Palace with its lovely garden and artificial cave.

St. Vitus Cathedral

The Prague Castle is a really huge complex, but if you should choose one thing to check out, it would definitely be St. Vitus Cathedral - the place whereCzech kings were crowned and where many of them rest in the cathedral´s crypt.

Žižkov

Get out from the centre and see how normal people live. Žižkov is a typical Prague workers´ part of town pulsing with life with hundreds of bars and clubs. Climb up the Žižkov transmission tower or the Vítkov hill for a magnificent view.
