Czech Republic Tours Things To Do

• 
  Charles Bridge

  A must-do while in Prague is to take a walk down Charles Bridge. There is a certain charm you feel as you stroll down the gaze of old baroque period statues that line the bridge. Regardless of the buskers and people selling all types of stuff, tourists squeeze past by and you enter a river-like flow as you move along.

  Best Time To Visit

  Due to the crowds of both tourists and entrepreneurial locals, any time during the day is prime time and will be crowded. Try going at sunset where you'll feel the charm of the bridge a bit more.

• 
  Prague Castle

  Looming over the city with the castle's spires viewable from almost anywhere in the city, it's no surprise Prague Castle is the most popular attraction in the city. Home to historic buildings, museums, and various galleries, some of the Czech Republic's most prized arts and cultural artifacts are within the castle walls.

  Best Time To Visit

  There is no bad time to visit Prague; summer has nice temperate weather, but fall and winter bring cooler weather and fewer crowds. If you don't mind the cold weather, walking around the city in the wintertime has a magical feel.

• 
  St Vitus Cathedral

  Taking almost 600 years to complete, St Vitus houses some of the richest cultural treasures in central Europe. St Vitus is integral to the cultural and religious side of the Czech Republic. A mix of Gothic and Romanesque, this unique cathedral is a must-see in Prague.

  You Should Know

  If you are traveling to Prague with one of our partners on a guided tour, St Vitus is almost always included in your walking tour of Prague. If included, you'll skip the line to get in and get a local guide to narrate as you explore. Inclusions vary by itinerary.

• 
  Prague Jewish Museum

  One of the most visited museums in Prague is the Jewish Heritage Museum. With about 40,000 artifacts, 100,000 books, and more, it houses one of the largest Judaic collections in the world. The museum is made up of four synagogues and includes the Old Jewish Cemetery.

• 
  Wenceslas Square

  The most famous square in Prague, Wenceslas Square has been witness to some of the most famous historical events in Czech history. Actually, it is less of a square and more similar to a large public street, like one you'd find in Paris. The square is located in New Town, which was created during Charles IV's reign.

  You Should Know

  Although many important demonstrations and speeches have been given at Wenceslas Square, arguably the most important was given by Alexander Dubcek, known as the man who started the Prague Spring.

• 
  Astronomical Clock

  A tourist favorite attraction, every hour very large crowds begin to form under the Old Town Hall Tower to watch the Astronomical Clock. An intricate dance of puppets and other objects depict a story representing 15th-century life. Called a "must-see" event by everyone ever, the truth is the display is hyped up a little too much and don't feel guilty if you find it a bit underwhelming.

  You Should Know

  t's not an exaggeration to say that large crowds begin to form quite early under the tower. If you really want to see and get a good view, you'd have to stake out your spot at least 15 minutes before the hour.

• 
  Cesky Krumlov

  Located in the Southern Bohemian region of the Czech Republic is Cesky Krumlov. Along with Prague Castle, it was designated a UNESCO site in 1992. The town was built around a 13th-century castle with various design cues from Baroque, Renaissance, and Gothic. A popular day trip among visitors, the charming town of Cesky Krumlov is definitely a must-see.

  You Should Know

  If not already included in one of our itineraries from our partners, most will offer Cesky Krumlov as an optional guided day tour. Activities and inclusions vary by itinerary.
