Prague, Czechia
Things to do in Prague
Everything in the Atlas for Prague: places to see and things to do, in one list.
Charles Bridge
Fourteenth-century, thirty baroque statues, and so crowded by ten in the morning that the only honest advice is to walk it at dawn or after midnight.
Prague Castle
Not a castle so much as a walled hill town that has been the seat of Bohemian kings, Holy Roman emperors and Czech presidents in turn. St Vitus Cathedral is inside it.
Josefov, the Jewish Quarter
Six synagogues and a cemetery where twelve thousand headstones lean against each other because the ground was reused for three hundred years and there was nowhere else to bury.
Vyšehrad and the river bend
The other castle rock, south along the Vltava, with a neo-gothic basilica and the national cemetery. Locals come here to avoid the crowds at the first one.
A pub with a tapster, not a menu
The good places pour continuously and mark your tab in pencil; you say when to stop, and the pour type is a real choice.
Vyšehrad and the river bend
The city's first castle, a cemetery of composers, and the whole of Prague from the ramparts without a crowd.
This page exists because Prague has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Prague.
