Welcome to this Prague travel guide,
a friendly space created to help you discover one of Europe’s most beautiful and fascinating cities. Here you’ll find everything you need to plan your visit: what to see, where to go, the best places to eat, and plenty of practical tips that make traveling around Prague easy and enjoyable. The goal of this blog is simple: share clear, helpful information from a Czech point of view so you can experience Prague the way locals know and love it.
Prague has a special charm that’s hard to describe until you experience it. The city is more than 1,100 years old and every street seems to carry a piece of history. Its architecture is an unforgettable mix of Gothic towers, Baroque palaces, Renaissance squares, and Art Nouveau façades — and because Prague was almost untouched during World War II, many original buildings survived in remarkable condition. Wandering through the historic center truly feels like walking through a storybook.
This blog brings together guides, tips, and recommendations that help you navigate Prague with ease. Looking for the best views of the city? Tips for using public transport? A list of family-friendly places? A great traditional Czech restaurant? It’s all here, written in simple English and updated with local knowledge. Whether you’re staying for a weekend or a week, this site helps you make the most of your time.
Why Prague Deserves a Spot on Your Travel List
Prague is repeatedly ranked among the most beautiful and culturally rich cities in the world — and it doesn’t take long to see why. The historic Old Town, the fairytale skyline of Prague Castle, the bridges crossing the Vltava River, the peaceful gardens, the lively markets… it’s a place where the past and present blend naturally.
The city attracts more than eight million visitors each year. People come for many reasons: architecture, history, concerts, festivals, nightlife, food, and, of course, the famous Christmas markets. These holiday markets are among Europe’s most magical, filling the city with lights, music, and the scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds.
Prague is also known for being extremely safe, which is why it’s a popular choice for families and solo travellers. Public transport is clean, cheap, and reliable. Streets are easy to navigate. And Czech people, although a bit reserved at first, are helpful once you ask.
A City for Every Type of Traveller
One of Prague’s greatest advantages is that it suits different travel styles. Couples find countless romantic corners — quiet gardens, riverside walks, candlelit restaurants, and breathtaking night views from the castle. The atmosphere feels cosy and intimate, especially in the evening when the cobblestones reflect the warm streetlights.
Families appreciate the city’s comfort and variety. Prague Zoo, boat rides, creative museums, parks, towers, and old trams keep children entertained, often for hours. Everything is close together, so exploring with kids is surprisingly easy.
Solo travellers enjoy the walkable centre, friendly cafés, and cultural life that never really stops. You can spend a whole day going from galleries to markets to viewpoints, and you’ll never run out of interesting corners to explore.
