Prague itineraries

Bridge to Castle

One day in Prague comes down to this walk: start under the Astronomical Clock, cross Charles Bridge, climb to the castle, then watch the roofs go orange from Petřín.

Old Town Overnight

Base yourself at Republic Square on the north edge of Old Town: river and night streets on day one, the castle before the crowds on day two. Everything is on foot.

New Town, Three Hills

Stay beside Wenceslas Square: New Town on day one, castle to Letná on day two, the Vyšehrad cliffs and Vinohrady on day three. Three rooftop views from three different hills.
