What to see in Prague in 7 days

A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.

day1

Getting to know Prague

An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.

  • All day

    A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.

Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.

day2

The main sights

The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

  • All day

    A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.

Carry some cash for markets and small cafés — cards are not taken everywhere.

day3

Museums, history and local food

A day for what needs time and attention: museums, historic quarters, and lunch somewhere locals actually go.

Many museums close on a Monday or Tuesday — check the opening hours before you set out.

day4

A day out of town

Get beyond the city: the nearby towns and countryside are usually what stays with you. A rental car is the practical way — public transport on these routes is slow and infrequent.

  • All day

    Mlada Boleslav

    Mlada Boleslav is 64 km from Prague, about 53m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

Book the car ahead: in season there is little left and the counter price is higher.

day5

Walking and what you missed

A free day. Go back to wherever you wanted to linger, and add one or two places from the list you haven't reached.

Carry some cash for markets and small cafés — cards are not taken everywhere.

day6

A tour, or a second trip out

A good day for a guided tour: a guide tells you what the signs don't, and takes the driving off your hands.

  • All day

    Plzen

    Plzen is 102 km from Prague, about 1h 16m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

Book the car ahead: in season there is little left and the counter price is higher.

day7

Last day and departure

A calm finish: a favourite spot once more, some shopping, a late lunch. Leave yourself room before the airport.

Allow twice what the map says for the airport run — it is never the quiet hour when you need it.

5 Hotel Ariston Ariston PatioCouples

Nice stay just beside the Main prague train station.

Very nice hotel in the center of Prague. Comprised of two hotels in front of each other. I got it really cheap and they gave me a big room with Jakuzi as i was traveling with my wife and daughter. Perfect stay and breakfast. I would chose it again if the price was OK.

Hotel Ariston and Patio rewiew

A truly great hotel in a pleasant environment. The hotel is divided into two buildings – the main hotel building and the Patio building, which is located just across the street. We stayed in the Patio building and were very satisfied. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants, public transport stops, and a…
