Old Town Square
Day 1
Walk the cobbled streets of this area and be transported back in time! This area is swarming with tourists in the busy season, but makes a very pleasant excursion at any other time of the year. Take some time to admire the incredible architecture of the buildings that surround the square, or merely enjoy the street performers, musicians, and merchants that frequent the area. Despite the throngs of people, seeing these performances is an absolute treat! You’ll find merchants selling all kinds of touristy trinkets, so be sure to take some cash along for the trip! If you’re in the mood for a bite to eat, some of the best restaurants in Prague are around this area, so you really can’t go wrong! See our recommendation above if you’re looking for the perfect place to stop for a bite.

Prague Astronomical Clock
Day 1
This absolutely beautiful mechanical clock is the pride of Prague! Built in the 15th century, it is thought to be the best-preserved medieval mechanical clock in the world! It has been damaged and repaired over the years, but remains fully intact. The show that takes place on the hour never fails to disappoint on-looking tourists. The clock is located on the south side of Old Town Hall, making it easy to find and wonderful to watch. Be sure to be there as the clock strikes on the hour, so you don’t miss the spectacular sight!
3
Charles Bridge
Day 1
The Charles Bridge was commissioned to be built by King Charles IV in 1357 to replace an older bridge that had been damaged, as parts of it washed away in a flood. The bridge only came to completion in 1390, and only in the 19th century did the bridge come to take his name. Statues were added to the bridge in the 17th-century, most of them in baroque style. Although none of the originals are left, replicas have been made in place of the damaged statues. These statues are incredibly intricate and make for a very interesting sight! The bridge connects Prague Castle and the city’s Old Town, two very important Prague landmarks! If you’re visiting Prague for the first time, this is a must-do activity on your Prague itinerary. You’ll also find that this is one of the more unique places in Prague, so be sure to visit before your trip is over!
4
Old Jewish Cemetery
Day 1
During the 13th century, Jewish people living in Prague were forced to vacate their homes and live in an area between Old Town and the Vltava River. The houses were smaller and families were forced to live in apartment-style buildings. The Jewish Ghetto, also known as the Jewish Quarter was where Jewish people in Prague were forced to stay right up until the 19th century when the town was remodelled. Many of the buildings were destroyed, however, there are still a few to explore, and there are many synagogues still standing! Be sure to check out this historically significant area on the first day of your Prague itinerary!
5
Prague Castle
Day 1
They have three summer terraces and a winter garden, which all provide exquisite views. However, if you’d prefer to be seated inside, they have a beautiful inside dining area too! Enjoy incredible views of Charles Bridge while you dine on fine cuisine. Prague Castle can be visited for free, but we recommend taking a guided tour, which enables you to learn a lot more while you’re exploring the castle. It was built way back in the 9th century, holding many years’ worth of history in its walls. It is also the largest ancient castle in the world, taking up 70,000 square meters! The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept in a hidden room within the castle. Although you won’t get to see them, knowing they are there is enough to enthral you. The Prague castle draws over 1.8 million tourists every year, making it one of the most visited tourist attractions in Prague. The castle has always been the dwelling place of the ruler of the Czech Republic. This means that many kings have stayed there throughout the years! It is now the official office of the current president of the Czech Republic. With so much history and grandeur, this is by far one of the best Prague activities you can take part in! Cost – Around 15-20€ for a guided tour. (It's possible to visit it for free)
6
Golden Lane
Day 1-2
Golden Lane gets its name from the story that is told throughout Prague. It is said that alchemists used to stay in the houses along Golden Lane, and they were commissioned to find a chemical reaction that would turn ordinary objects into gold! It’s debatable whether this is true or not, but one thing is not up for debate. If alchemists ever stayed there, they didn’t succeed in turning ordinary objects into gold. The Czech writer, Franz Kafka, stayed in one of the houses along Golden Lane for around two years. He is said to have found it very peaceful, the perfect place to work on his writing! Each house along the lane is a different colour, making it look like a scene out of a movie. This is a great place to come and take some touristy photos during your trip, and the perfect place to visit in Prague.
7
St. Vitus Cathedral
Day 2
The Cathedral is hundreds of years old and is one of the largest cathedrals in the country. It’s a Roman Catholic cathedral and the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. St Vitus Cathedral is a great example of Gothic architecture, and is widely thought of as the most important cathedral in the country! The Cathedral contains the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Roman Emperors. If you’re an architecture fan or a lover of history, this is a must-visit during your time in Prague! This could be considered one of the more unique things to do in Prague, as not as many tourists visit the cathedral. Its many spires and turrets are picture perfect and look like they belong on a postcard! Cost – 10€

KGB Museum
Day 2
For the first time in history, the historic objects that belonged to the first persons of the Soviet state and the senior functionaries of the Soviet State security are all collected in one place! Because it’s a private collection, you can only see the museum by a private tour, which should be arranged prior to arrival. The museum holds some very unusual pieces, like the death mask of Lenin, Trotsky’s murder weapon, and the radio from Beria’s cabinet. You can also find equipment from the KGB laboratories, as well as many other weird and wonderful things! You can also take a look at the KGB photo collection, which depicts KGB soldiers on the streets of Prague! The aim of the museum is not to depict violence, racism, and other forms of hate, but rather to remember a previous time in Prague history, through the eyes of the KGB. Cost –20€ for a guided tour
9
Lennon Wall
Day 2
The Lennon wall has been covered in Beatles-themed graffiti, Beatles lyrics, and quotations since the 1980s! It’s very popular amongst tourists as well as fans wanting to pay homage to the group. The wall is located in a small, secluded area, just across from the French Embassy. The wall started after the assassination of John Lennon when an artist daubed a single painting of the legend. Since then, others have added their own pieces to the wall to pay their respects to the famed musician! The wall is continuously changing, in fact, the original painting of Lennon is long-lost under layers and layers of paint! At one point, authorities painted over the wall, but by the next morning, it was filled with art again. This goes to show just how much Beatles fans respect and love these musicians! This activity is one of the most fun things to do in Prague, and is great for getting the perfect touristy photo!
