Planning your trip to Prague
Best time to visit
April to June and September to October bring comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds than midsummer. July and August are busy, especially on Charles Bridge and in the Old Town. December has Christmas markets and a festive atmosphere, but short, cold days.
How many days you need
Two to three days covers the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge, the castle district and a walk along the river. Add a day for a trip to Kutná Hora or Český Krumlov.
Getting around
The center is compact and walkable, though cobbled and hilly around the castle. Trams are frequent and scenic, and the metro covers longer distances. Tickets must be validated when you board; inspectors check regularly. Getting to Charles Bridge and the castle early in the morning makes a big difference to the crowds.
What to skip
Currency exchange booths in tourist areas can advertise attractive rates that do not apply to small amounts, and street money changers should be avoided entirely; withdrawing from a bank ATM is simpler. Restaurants on the Old Town Square charge a premium for the view — side streets and neighborhoods like Vinohrady are better value.
