Top Highlights
Charles Bridge (Karluv Most)
A 14th-century Gothic bridge lined with 30 Baroque statues spanning the Vltava River. Free to cross, open 24/7. Visit at dawn (before 7AM) to experience it without crowds — by 10AM it's packed with tourists and vendors. Rub the bronze plaque of St. John of Nepomuk for good luck. The bridge connects Old Town to the Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana). Allow 30-60 minutes.
Prague Castle (Prazsky Hrad)
The world's largest ancient castle complex (70,000 sq meters), seat of Czech power for 1,100 years. Circuit B ticket (St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, Golden Lane, St. George's Basilica): 250 CZK (~$10). Open 6AM-10PM (grounds), 9AM-5PM (interiors). St. Vitus Cathedral is free to enter the nave. The Golden Lane with its tiny artisan houses is the highlight. Allow 3-4 hours.
Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock
Prague's medieval heart with the 600-year-old Astronomical Clock (Orloj) on the Old Town Hall. The clock performs a mechanical show every hour (9AM-11PM) — the 12 apostles parade through tiny windows. Climb the Old Town Hall tower (250 CZK, elevator available) for the best square views. The square hosts major Christmas and Easter markets. Free to enjoy. Allow 1-2 hours.
Czech Beer Culture
The real deal — skip the tourist pubs and visit local pivnice (beer halls). U Fleku (founded 1499, 120 CZK/0.5L of house dark lager) is atmospheric but touristy. Better: Lokál Dlouhááá (tank Pilsner Urquell, 59 CZK/0.5L), U Sudu (underground cave bar), or Pivovarsky Klub (craft beer bar with 240+ options). Beer is often cheaper than water — embrace it. Order 'jedno pivo, prosim' (one beer, please).
Jewish Quarter (Josefov)
One of Europe's best-preserved Jewish heritage sites with 6 historic synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery (12,000 tombstones layered 12 deep, dating to 1439). Combined ticket: 350 CZK (~$14), valid for all synagogues and cemetery. Closed Saturdays. The Pinkas Synagogue walls are inscribed with 77,297 names of Czech Holocaust victims. Allow 2-3 hours. Guided tours highly recommended.
Petrin Hill & Observation Tower
A peaceful green hill on the left bank with an observation tower (a 60-meter mini Eiffel Tower, 150 CZK, 299 steps or elevator). Ride the funicular from Ujezd (40 CZK or covered by transit pass). The hilltop offers the best panoramic photos of Prague. Rose garden, mirror maze (75 CZK), and Strahov Monastery (brewery with a view) are nearby. Perfect sunset spot. Allow 2-3 hours.
Vysehrad Fortress
Tourist-free alternative — a 10th-century hilltop fortress with far fewer tourists than Prague Castle. Free entry to the grounds. The Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul (50 CZK) and Vysehrad Cemetery (where Dvorak and Smetana are buried, free) are highlights. The rampart walk offers stunning Vltava River views. Metro Line C to Vysehrad station, then 10-minute walk. Allow 2 hours.

Travel Tips
Visa & Entry
Schengen Zone Entry
US, UK, Canadian, and Australian citizens can enter the Czech Republic visa-free for up to 90 days within 180 days (Schengen area). Indian citizens need a Schengen visa via VFS Global (processing: 2-4 weeks, ~80 EUR). ETIAS pre-authorization (7 EUR) may be required for non-EU visitors from 2025.
transport
Metro, Trams, and Airport Bus
Prague has 3 Metro lines, 30 tram lines, and buses. Single 30-min ticket: 30 CZK (~$1.20), 90-min ticket: 40 CZK, 24-hour pass: 120 CZK, 72-hour: 330 CZK. Buy at yellow machines in stations (accept coins and cards). Airport to center: Bus 119 to Nadrazi Veleslavin Metro station (40 CZK, 40 min total) or Airport Express bus to Hlavni Nadrazi (100 CZK, 35 min). Taxis from airport: agree on price first or use Bolt/Uber (400-500 CZK).
Local Customs
Use Czech Koruna, Not Euros
The biggest mistake tourists make: paying in Euros. While some tourist shops accept Euros, the exchange rate is terrible (you lose 10-20%). Always pay in Czech Koruna (CZK). Use ATMs (Bankomat) from major Czech banks (Ceska Sporitelna, CSOB, Komercni Banka) — avoid exchange booths on the street, especially on Wenceslas Square. When the ATM asks 'conversion' choose 'without conversion' for the best rate.
Tipping and Restaurant Culture
Tipping in Prague: round up to the nearest 10-20 CZK at pubs, 10-15% at sit-down restaurants. Tell the waiter the total you want to pay when they bring the bill — don't leave cash on the table. Many restaurants add a 'couvert' charge (bread/butter) that appears automatically — you can refuse it. Reservations recommended for popular spots, especially on weekends.
Budget
Prague Is Incredibly Affordable
A half-liter of excellent Czech beer: 40-60 CZK ($1.60-2.40), a full meal at a local pub: 150-250 CZK ($6-10), coffee: 50-80 CZK. Stay out of the Old Town Square tourist-trap restaurants — walk 5 minutes in any direction for prices 50% lower. Trdelnik (chimney cake) sold everywhere as 'traditional Czech' is actually Hungarian and only appeared in Prague around 2010.
Safety
Tourist Scams to Avoid
Common Prague scams: taxi drivers with 'broken' meters (use Bolt or Uber instead), currency exchange booths with hidden commissions, overpriced restaurants with no prices on the menu (always check before ordering), and the 'fake police' scam (real police never ask to see your wallet). Charles Bridge pickpocket teams operate during peak hours. Prague is otherwise very safe.
