Before you go

Start with Prague Castle, then group nearby sights together rather than crossing the city repeatedly. The three-day outline above leaves time for meals and exploring; adjust it for your pace and opening days.
What should I book in advance?
Reserve accommodation once your dates are settled, and check official sites for popular attractions, performances and timed-entry tickets. Opening hours, access rules and seasonal programs may change; this guide does not confirm availability.
What should I check before traveling?
Check passport and entry requirements with the destination's government, current travel advisories, weather, accessibility and travel insurance. Confirm airport transport and the property's check-in details before departure.
