Our tips for Prague

  • Book in advance. Make sure to book Prague sightseeing tickets well in advance, especially if you are visiting during the peak season.
  • Respect local customs. It is important to stay respectful of local Czech customs and traditions while visiting.
  • Use public transportation. Instead of splurging on taxis, you can use the local transportation system which is efficient and affordable.

  • Sweater weather. Prague’s hilly terrain and wind-trapping laneways mean it can get very cold, very quickly, so be sure to pack a jumper or two.
  • Twinkle toes. Do your feet a favour and leave your heels at home. With most of the city being cobbled, Prague sightseeing is much more enjoyable in practical flats.
  • Shop till you drop on Saturdays. Shoppers will never be short of things to do in Prague, especially when the weekend rolls around. The city’s many antique, flea and food markets open their doors on Saturdays.
