Keep exploring

Just a quick break in your visit to introduce you to some other points of interest that couldn’t be included in the itinerary. We strongly recommend exploring inside Prague Castle, a must-see monument, even if you have to spend some money. While our itinerary already takes you there, most of its landmarks can only be accessed if you pay to enter.

Buying a combined entry ticket, would allow you to explore the whole of the world’s largest ancient castle. On your way there or back, make a slight detour to Vinarna Certovka Street. It's the narrowest street in Prague, just 50 to 70 centimeters wide.

So narrow, that a traffic light regulates the traffic one person at a time! With its mix of Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau, and Cubist architecture, Prague has been and continues to be a muse for countless architects and artists, both renowned and lesser-known. Among contemporary names, David Černý is the most well known in the Czech capital.

By now, you may already be familiar with his crawling babies on Kampa Island or his upside-down statue of King Wenceslas on his horse. But his work doesn’t stop there. Other pieces include the rotating head of Franz Kafka at the entrance of the Quadrio shopping center and more crawling babies adorining the Žižkov Television Tower.

Equally striking and intriguing, the Dancing House by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić is one of the most photographed landmarks in Prague. This building is a symbol of revolution and freedom, commemorating the fall of the communist regime in 1989. Its dynamic design is also reminiscent of the famous dancing duo Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, hence its nickname.

And after all that walking, how about a break? Good for the body, the mind, and the wallet, Letná Park is a vast green space stretching along the left bank of the Vltava River, with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Another similar, but smaller, spot is Riegrovy Sady on the right bank, offering plenty of greenery, with clear views of Prague’s beauty.

Refreshing and full of unexpected benefits, beer is a national pride of the Czech Republic. Not only do the locals drink it, being the world's top beer consumers, but they also use it for beauty and relaxation. Treat yourself to a Beer Spa, where you can soak in a bubbling beer bath.

If there’s one more must-see in Prague, it’s undoubtedly the Jewish Museum. You’ll see the historic synagogue, the more recent Old-New Synagogue, and the Old Jewish Cemetery. This institution traces the history, traditions, and customs of the Jewish community in Bohemia and Central Europe.

It’s both fascinating and moving. Finally, if you’re looking to discover places beyond Prague, we recommend Kutná Hora. This historic village is particularly famous for its UNESCO-listed ossuary.

Or visit Karlovy Vary, a world-renowned spa town. Finally, for a more sombre experience, visit the former fortress Terezín, known for its concentration camp, where more than 150,000 Jewish prisoners were deported. With all of this, you have plenty to explore if you decide to stay longer in the region.
