Begin in the Old Town
Start around Old Town Square to see the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the colourful façades and Prague’s Astronomical Clock. Explore the surrounding lanes rather than rushing only between landmarks.

Suggested itinerary
A realistic one-day Prague route
Cross Charles Bridge
Walk towards Charles Bridge and cross the Vltava on foot. Look back towards the Old Town towers and ahead to Prague Castle for some of the city’s best-known views.
Explore Malá Strana and the castle
Continue through the Lesser Town towards the Prague Castle complex. The courtyards and St. Vitus Cathedral are highlights; interiors and exhibitions may require extra time and tickets.
Pause for food and free time
Return towards the river or Old Town for lunch. You could explore Josefov, visit a museum, enjoy a café or wander through the historic streets at your own pace.
Finish beside the Vltava
Enjoy the riverside atmosphere or take a boat cruise when available. Keep enough time to return to the YELOFUN meeting point before the stated meeting time.
Know before you go
Practical tips
Money
The Czech Republic uses Czech koruna (CZK). Cards are common, but a little local cash is useful. Check the rate carefully before accepting card-terminal currency conversion.
Transport
Most central sights are walkable, with trams and metro for longer distances. Check current ticket rules on the official PID website.
Food
Traditional Czech, vegetarian and international options are easy to find. Compare menus before choosing restaurants immediately beside major landmarks.
Documents
Requirements depend on citizenship and residence status. Bring the original documents required for your journey and follow the selected tour page and final YELOFUN email.
Taste the city
Traditional Czech food to try
Prague is not only a sightseeing stop. Czech cooking is filling, comforting and closely connected to pub, café and family traditions. Many classic dishes contain meat, cream or dumplings, so ask about ingredients if you have allergies or dietary requirements.
Chlebíčky
Small open-faced sandwiches topped in many different ways. They are a familiar part of Czech celebrations and make an easy snack during a busy sightseeing day.
Czech goulash
A rich, paprika-seasoned stew commonly served with bread dumplings. Czech versions are usually thicker and less soup-like than some neighbouring styles.
Svíčková
Beef served with a smooth root-vegetable cream sauce, bread dumplings and often cranberry garnish. It is one of the best-known Czech restaurant dishes.
Vepřo knedlo zelo
Roast pork with dumplings and cabbage. It is hearty and traditional—better suited to a proper meal than a quick snack between attractions.
Koláče and Czech pastries
Look for pastries filled with poppy seed, fruit, curd cheese or jam. A bakery or café stop is an easy way to slow down during the afternoon.
Trdelník
This sweet spiral pastry is highly visible in the tourist centre. It is popular with visitors, but do not treat it as the only example of Czech baking—try a local bakery too.
Prague City Tourism offers an official overview of food and drink venues and highlights chlebíčky, Czech pub snacks and traditional pastries in its local food programme.
Beyond the landmarks
Cafés, traditions and shopping
Leave space in the itinerary for everyday Prague. Historic cafés, Czech beer halls, bakeries, design shops and local craft stores can make the city feel more personal than a checklist of monuments.
- Enjoy café culture: Prague has a long tradition of cafés and pastry shops. A relaxed coffee break is part of the experience, especially when the Old Town becomes crowded.
- Choose thoughtful souvenirs: Look for Czech glass, porcelain, handmade paper, wooden toys, marionettes, local design and natural cosmetics. Check where an item was produced instead of assuming every Old Town souvenir is locally made.
- Support local makers: The official Prague Gift Shop at the Old Town Hall features work designed by local artists and made in the Czech Republic. Prague City Tourism also lists independent design, craft and book shops.
- Respect historic spaces: Keep your voice lower in churches, courtyards and residential streets, follow photography rules and avoid blocking narrow pavements or tram doors.
- Check before paying: Review the price and bill, then choose the payment currency carefully when a card terminal offers conversion.
