Prague Tips

50 fun things to do in Prague

Before I travel to other cities I am always looking up the stuff what to do there besides the obvious sightseeing points. When I was doing some research for our next destination I had an idea to put together such a list for Prague. The first title was 30 fun things to do in Prague, but I was always coming up with new stuff so here is not 30 but 50 fun things to do in Prague! Enjoy your stay in Prague 🙂

1 Enjoy a bit of nature in the busy city centre and walk up to the Petřín Hill to enjoy some awesome views. Petřín hill is amazing in all seasons, my favourite is spring though when the trees are in the full bloom. At the top of the hill, you can climb to our little copy of Eiffel Tower 🙂 What to do in Prague

2. Wondering where to go for dinner with live music? My personal favourite is Jazz Dock! Tasty food, nice ambience and amazing live music on the river. It is better to buy the tickets in advance. Here you can check the program.

3. I always love to stroll along Vltava river. When you go for a walk there, notice how beautiful are the buildings on the river banks. I often wonder how amazing would be to live there!What to do in Prague

4. I guess Prague is not a very known destination for street food markets. Yet within last few years started to appear many street food events! Those are happening usually on the weekends and my favourites are those in Holešovice organized by Cross Club, you can check the events on their Facebook.

5. Arrange a private photo session to have a memory of your amazing trip to Prague lasting forever! For more information please visit my photography web lenkazlamalova.cz

6. In summer is very popular to rent a pedal boat on the Vltava river. Price is usually 200 CZK per one hour. So grab your partner, friends or family and enjoy Prague from a different perspective. You can rent the pedal boats for example here.

7. My favourite part of Prague Castle? Definitely the South gardens! It is usually less crowded than the Castle and views are insane! The entrance is for free and gardens are open from April to October.What to do in Prague

8. Another place for a good walk with amazing views is for sure Vyšehrad. You can even find here nice beer garden to refresh yourself in summer 🙂 More details about Vyšehrad you can find in this blog post of mine 🙂 What to do in Prague

9. Fancy a fun night out? Do you like 80’s and 90’s music? I love the oldies music and when I was going out (now I am too lazy & lame for that 🙂 ) I usually went to Lucerna Music Bar. The oldies party is there every Friday and Saturday night from 9 PM and the entrance fee is just 100 CZK.

10. The Louvre Café was opened in 1902, and Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka were among the most famous guests of this place. You can not make a reservation here, but because of a large number of tables, you will never be waiting for long time in case the café is full. I like the café for a classical interior, a good service and great options also for vegetarians. P.S. They have excellent desserts.What to do in Prague

11. Ok, we are not Italy with its perfect gelato, but even in Prague, you can find places where to eat tasty ice cream! Because what it is the better snack in hot summer? Ok, not just in summer 🙂 The best ice cream I ever tried in Prague was in Crème de la Crème in the Old Town! They offer vegan ice creams as well.

12. Do you like shopping at farmer’s markets? If so, you have to visit those in Prague. Really popular ones are in “Náplavka” (part of the riverside) every Wednesday and Saturday from 8 AM. The easiest way to get there is by tram to stop Výtoň or Palackého náměstí. Apart from fresh vegetables, fruits, pastries and so on, you will find here also coffee stalls, stalls with various cakes or beautiful fresh flowers.What to do in Prague
