Information about Prague

Why is Prague in the Czech Republic worth visiting?

Prague is one of the most culturally rich and architecturally stunning cities in Europe, blending medieval heritage with a modern urban rhythm. It stretches along the banks of the Vltava River, where every bridge, square, and alleyway tells its own story. Here you can hear bell chimes echoing over the water, stroll beneath golden-domed churches, and witness how legends come to life at every turn.

The city appeals not only to history and art lovers, but also to those who appreciate music, gastronomy, and vibrant cultural atmosphere. Prague suits romantic walks, family trips, and educational tourism. You can easily combine castle tours with cozy evenings in cafés, where street noise meets the silence of ancient parks and monasteries.

What attractions should you visit in Prague?

Here are the must-see sights:

  • Prague Castle – The largest castle complex in the world, including the palace, three cathedrals, and two monasteries.
  • Karluv Most (Charles Bridge) – A symbol of the city decorated with statues of saints, especially picturesque early in the morning.
  • Old Town Square with Orloj Astronomical Clock – The heart of Prague, where tourists gather daily to hear the clock chime at noon.
  • Jewish Quarter – A historic district preserving synagogues, Jewish baths, and an old cemetery.
  • National Museum of History – A key cultural space telling the story of Prague from its founding to the present day.
  • The “Jewish Quarter Trail” – A path through narrow streets featuring architecture and legends from different historical periods.
  • Petrin Lookout Tower – Offers the best views of Old Town and the castle, especially popular among photographers.
  • Underground Tunnels beneath City Hall – Hidden corridors and halls used for themed exhibitions and theatrical tours.
  • Vysehrad Fortress – A historic citadel with panoramic views and royal burial sites.
  • Riverside Forest Park – A favorite spot for locals and tourists seeking peaceful walks and natural beauty.

Why is it better to explore Prague with a private guide in Prague?

Tours with a private guide in Prague offer deeper insights into architectural symbolism, little-known facts about Czech dynasties, and the hidden stories behind each building. These guides tailor experiences to your group’s interests, show unexpected routes, and provide access to restricted areas like underground chambers. Private guides in Prague speak multiple languages and make every tour engaging even for school-age children.

When is the best time to visit Prague and what language is spoken there?

The best time to visit is spring or autumn when tourist numbers are low and the climate is mild. Summers bring lively festivals and long daylight hours, while winters offer quiet charm and seasonal markets. The official language is Czech, though English is widely understood in service industries.

What local cuisine should you try and what shopping opportunities does Prague offer?

Prague is famous for its rustic dishes and beer culture. Be sure to taste "Prague goulash," fresh bread with butter, traditional lager, and gingerbread decorated with castle motifs. Herbal tea brewed using ancestral methods is also a regional specialty.

Shopping includes village markets, antique shops, and artisan studios selling books on Czech customs, embroidered textiles, wooden crafts, and organic products. Souvenirs featuring images of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle are unique to this region.

What souvenirs to buy and what should not be taken out of Prague?

Take home Prague goulash in jars, gingerbread with bridge designs, books on Czech traditions, and natural oils. Miniature replicas, handmade glass ornaments, and embroidered fabrics are also great keepsakes. Avoid exporting cultural artifacts without permits, museum artworks, or protected wildlife species — these may be restricted by law.

What to wear in Prague and what currency is used?

In summer, light clothing and a hat are sufficient; in winter, waterproof shoes and warm sweaters are recommended. Comfortable footwear is essential due to cobbled streets and uneven terrain. The local currency is the Czech crown (CZK). Credit cards are accepted in most places, so cash exchange is usually unnecessary.

What are the rules of behavior and safety levels in Prague?

Prague is considered safe. However, basic precautions apply: don’t leave valuables unattended. Modest dress is expected when entering religious sites, and respectful behavior is appreciated in public spaces.

What to do in Prague in the evening and is it interesting for children?

In the evening, take a walk along softly lit alleys, dine at a riverside restaurant with castle views, or attend light shows in the underground tunnels. Children will enjoy interactive museums, gingerbread workshops, and carousel rides at the Christmas market. The city is very welcoming for families.

Who lives in Prague and how is the ecological situation?

Prague has a population of around 1.3 million residents. Catholicism is the dominant religion. The ecological situation is excellent — green zones are regularly maintained, and water sources remain clean and unpolluted.

How to get to Prague and which airport to fly into?

The nearest international airport is Václav Havel Airport in Prague itself. From there, you can reach the historic center by metro, taxi, or bus. The distance to central Prague is approximately 15 km, and the journey takes 20–30 minutes.

Why choose a private guide in the Czech Republic?

Booking a private guide in the Czech Republic allows you to deeply explore not only Prague but other towns and villages across the country during one trip. Private guides in the Czech Republic provide personalized experiences, help combine several destinations, and introduce you to rare locations missed by regular tourists.

Why visit Prague?

Prague is a unique mix of culture, history, and provincial charm within a major European capital. Here, you can walk ancient lanes, explore forest paths, and relax in mountain-view cafés. It's perfect for travelers seeking balance between tradition and personal discovery beyond mass tourism.

5 Reasons to Visit Prague

Tourist Tips for Visiting Prague

  • Walk the Jewish Quarter Trail early in the morning — fewer people and better lighting for photos.
  • Book a guided tour of the City Hall underground — open only to organized groups.
  • Try Prague goulash at a village tavern — a dish found exclusively here.
  • Use bike rentals for sightseeing — faster and more convenient for covering all landmarks.
  • Reserve opera tickets in advance — performances sell out quickly due to high demand.
