Two Days in Prague

There are so many things to do and places to visit in Prague! It is a great idea to stay here for at least two days so that you can enjoy the city without a rushing. Here is our two-day itinerary for getting to know Prague.

Day One

We suggest focusing this day on the right bank of the Vltava River: Old Town with Jewish Quarter, New Town, and Vysehrad.

Start at Wenceslas Square to admire the magnificent National museum. Go to the Lucerna passage where David Cerny's statue of St. Wenceslas hangs upside down. Visit the Church of Our Lady of the Snows which has the highest altar and vaults in Prague.

Na Příkopě Street will lead you to the Gothic Powder Gate. Do not miss House of the Black Madonna in Celetna street. Go to Ovocny Trh Square to admire the beautiful Estates Theatre. The oldest building of Charles University is also located here. On your way to Old Town Square, take a detour to visit the cozy Týn Yard (Ungelt) and take a look at the Church of Our Lady before Tyn.

Spend some time at Old Town Square. Watch a procession of Apostles on the clock tower. Look at the baroque St. Nikolas Church. Parizska Street will take you to the Jewish Quarter with Old New Synagogue and Old Jewish Cemetery. From there, you can get to the Marianske Square and take a shortcut to the Charles Bridge through Klementinum.

After making a wish on the Charles Bridge, go to the Smetanovo Nabrezi. The view of the bridge and Prague Castle from here is stunning. After a short walk, you will find yourself in front of the National Theatre. After that, you can continue walking to the Dancing House and further to Vyšehrad.

You can take a break at Náplavka - embankment between the Palackeho and Vyšehrad Train Bridges. There are many cafes and restaurants here: some on the boats and some in the vaults in the wall. Great place to grab some lunch! On Saturdays, you will also find a farmer's market here.

Our last stop for this day is Vysehrad. Enjoy the walk on bastions and a magnificent view of the city.

Start at Strahov Monastery, founded in the 12th century. You can get here by taking the tram 22. The stop is called Pohorelec. Walk through the courtyard. In the back, you will find the observation area with a fantastic view.

Proceed to Loretanske Square with Cerninsky Palace and the most famous pilgrimage site in Prague - Loreta. Take a detour to Hradcanske Square via fairy tale Novy Svet street. If you like, grab a coffee at a small cafe there. It is excellent!

Do not forget to stop to take another look at Prague panorama from Hradcanske Square before entering Prague Castle. Visit the Cathedrale, walk through all courtyards. If you are in Prague in April - October, definitely go to some of the parks of the castle.

Continue down to the Lesser Town Visit the park of Wallenstein Palace (open April-October). Stop at St. Nikolas Church in Malostranske Square. Go to the Church of Our Lady Victorious, where the famous Infant Jesus of Prague can be seen. Not far from the church, you can find a funicular railway. If you like, you can go up to the Petrin hill and visit a Petrin Tower - a small copy of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

After coming back down, go to Velkoprevorske Square. Take a photo in front of the graffiti-covered Lennon Wall. Cross a small stream called Certovka and visit Kampa Island with a lovely park.

I guess by now, you will be dreaming of some beer and rest. For example, stop at Lokál U Bílé kuželky on Míšeňská Street.
