General presentation

Prague

Compact historic capital, between castle, old town, bridges on the Vltava, museums and lively neighborhoods.

Prague's discovery revolves around Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Old Town. The stay thus alternates between the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 3 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very busy and paved and relief. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Town or village

Charles Bridge

4.5 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs walking · estimate

The Pont Charles The old town is connected to Malá Strana by a long stone road lined with baroque statues. Very popular during the day, it reveals its silhouettes better in the early morning or evening, when the towers, the Vltava and the castle break down more quietly.

Remarkable location

Karlštejn

4.5 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Karlštejn appears above a wooded valley, with its massive towers and its tight roofs around the castle courtyard. Designed to house the royal treasures of Bohemia, it offers since Prague a very legible exit: train, walk, medieval rooms and views of the limestone hills.

Castle

Prague Castle

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 3 hrs on site · estimate

The Château de Prague forms a vast set of courtyards, palaces, churches and alleys above the Vltava. The Saint-Guy Cathedral dominates the visit, but the changes of scale between fortifications, gardens and views on the roofs give the site all its richness.

Town or village

Old Town

4.4 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs walking · estimate

The Vieille Ville of the Prague gathers cobbled squares, Gothic and Baroque facades, covered passages, churches and astronomical clock around a very compact centre. The streets adjacent to the main square allow to quickly pass from tourist tumult to more discreet courtyards.
