What to book in Prague on GetYourGuide
On GetYourGuide, you’ll find dozens of experiences to enjoy in Prague, catering to all kinds of interests. I’ve selected some of the most popular and unique ones and grouped them by theme to help you find inspiration. However, I encourage you to explore for yourself—you might discover something that matches your tastes perfectly!
Entry tickets to Prague attractions
- Prague Castle and Lobkowicz Palace – Prague Castle is one of the most famous symbols of the Czech Republic, attracting visitors with its rich history, architecture, and breathtaking views. At Prague Castle you will also visit St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George’s Basilica, Old Royal Palace and the Golden Lane.
- Old Town Hall Tower – a unique view at the Old Town Square of the Old Town, Týn Cathedral, Prague Castle and the surrounding districts. Inside the Town Hall you can visit the historic halls, the Chapel of the Virgin Mary, where you can see the mechanism of the famous astronomical clock, and the underground with its Gothic foundations.
- Žižkov TV Tower Observatory – unique experience from the viewpoint, which offers a panoramic view of Prague from a height of 93 metres. On the three different viewing platforms you will find interactive displays that will help you identify Prague’s sights and attractions. In addition to the views, you will be impressed by the iconic “babies” by David Černý, which decorate the tower and are one of the symbols of modern art in Prague.
- Prague Jewish Quarter – explore unique historical monuments that show the life of the Jewish community in Prague. You’ll see the Old Jewish Cemetery, one of the oldest in Europe, with its impressively layered tombstones, and several well-preserved synagogues: the Old Synagogue, the oldest working synagogue in Europe, the Pinkas Synagogue with its memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, the Maisel Synagogue with its exhibition of Jewish history, and the Spanish Synagogue, famous for its ornate Moorish architecture. There is also a Jewish Museum with unique artifacts and stories from the history of Prague’s Jewish community.
- Petřín Lookout Tower and Mirror Maze – access to the observation platform at 55 metres, from where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Prague, Prague Castle and the Vltava River. The lookout tower, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, is accessible on foot up 299 stairs or by elevator. A ticket to the Mirror Maze will take you to the world of optical illusions, where you can have fun among the curved mirrors.
Prague Tours with guide
Choosing a guided tour in Prague can elevate your experience of the city, offering unique insights, convenience, and a deeper understanding of its rich history and culture. It’s one thing to admire the Astronomical Clock or the intricate facades of buildings, but a guide can explain their significance, symbolism, and how they fit into Prague’s cultural tapestry. This context enriches your appreciation of the city’s beauty.
You can choose a free walking tour, where you name your price or tip the guide at the end based on your satisfaction.
Or a paid tour with a set price from the Old Town, across Charles Bridge, all the way to Prague Castle.
Foodie experiences in Prague
I personally think it’s better to visit a traditional Czech restaurant and enjoy tasting the local dishes at your own pace—it’s often more budget-friendly than joining a food tour. However, if you’re short on time and want to sample a variety of flavors in one go, there are plenty of food and beer experiences available to explore.
Many tourists are drawn to medieval dinner featuring a 3- or 5-course feast served in a setting that recreates the authentic atmosphere of the Middle Ages. While it’s an interesting experience, I’ll be honest—this isn’t something we Czechs typically do.
A bit more unique, in my opinion, is the folkloric dinner experience. Along with a hearty meal, you’ll enjoy a live show featuring dancers in traditional Czech and Moravian costumes. These outfits and dances are still part of vibrant celebrations in Moravia today, though in Prague, they’re more of a cultural showcase for visitors. It’s a rare chance to witness something tied to living traditions, even if presented as a tourist attraction.
And of course, beer spa is another popular choice. This quirky experience combines relaxation with Czech beer culture, offering a soak in a beer-infused bath while sipping on unlimited drafts—something you won’t forget anytime soon!
Prague boat trips
River cruises in Prague offer a unique way to explore the city from a different perspective, cruising along the Vltava River while enjoying the stunning views of iconic landmarks and historic architecture.
Sightseeing river cruise is a great way to take in Prague’s most famous sights, including Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, the National Theatre, and the Dancing House, all from the water.
For those looking for a more active way to spend their vacation, paddleboarding in the heart of the city is a unique and exciting experience.
Day Trips from Prague
Prague is perfectly located for a variety of fantastic day trips that offer a blend of history, nature, and culture. Here are some of the best day trips from Prague that make the most sense for different interests:
- Český Krumlov – known as a fairy-tale town, Český Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its beautifully preserved medieval architecture, winding streets, and stunning castle. You can explore the castle complex, stroll along the Vltava River, and enjoy the quaint cafes and shops in the town center.
- Karlovy Vary – famous for its thermal springs, Karlovy Vary is a beautiful spa town where you can experience historic colonnades, drink from the mineral springs, and relax in luxurious spas. The town is also known for the International Film Festival and the production of the famous Becherovka liqueur.
- Kutná Hora – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kutná Hora is home to the famous Sedlec Ossuary (Bone Church), a macabre yet fascinating site decorated with human bones. The town also boasts the beautiful St. Barbara’s Church and historical silver mines.
