Best Attractions and Things to Do in Prague
Some of the best attractions and things to do in Prague are given below
Prague Castle
This is one of the best things to do in Prague. Without visiting Prague Castle and its accompaniments, a Prague vacation would be incomplete. We quickly passed through security and entered the palace.
The old Malistrana district and the river are both visible from Prague Castle, which is proudly perched above the city.
Prague Castle is not a castle in the traditional sense of a single structure with towers and turrets. Surrounding three main courtyards are a colossal collection (7 hectares or 18 acres) of palaces, St. Vitus Cathedral, churches, the offices and homes of the president, a monastery, museums and art galleries. Highlights of the castle include visits to St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica and Golden Lane.

Charles Bridge
Crossing the Vltava River is the Charles Bridge, which is only accessible on foot. From 1357 to 1841, it served as the only crossing of the river, thanks to its construction by King Charles IV.
It is home to 30 Baroque statues, as well as many of today’s vendors and artists. One of the most famous bridges in all of Europe is the Charles Bridge, which is perhaps also the most popular thing to do in Prague.
When visiting the city, crossing the Charles Bridge was at the top of the list of must-do activities. Take your time to explore the statues and ancient Gothic gates while admiring the magnificent views of the Vltava River. The best times to visit are early in the morning or late in the evening, as this pedestrian bridge can get very busy. It is also one of the best things to do in Prague.
Old Town Tower Bridge
For the best views of Prague, climb to the top of the Old Town Tower. The Old Town Bridge Tower, located at the entrance to the Old Town from Charles Bridge, has 138 steps that lead up to the viewing gallery on Old Town Square. It was built during the reign of Emperor Charles IV, at the same time as Charles Bridge. Built in 1383, the Gothic tower offers stunning views of the Vltava River and the Old Town. Seeing Prague from the Old Tower is also one of the best things to do in Prague.
Astronomical Clock at the Old Town Hall
We walked through the Old Town to Old Town Square, which is home to the world’s oldest continuously operating astronomical clock.
The “Apostles’ Walk”, which features moving statues every hour, was added in 1410, along with a calendar dial and an astronomical dial that shows the sun, moon, and other astronomical information. It is famous among the best things to do in Prague.
The crowds are huge and the clock displays every hour. It was a great opportunity to watch the 12 apostles perform their Apostles’ Walk among other figurines as we saw them from our Segways, their heads above the people. It is interesting to see this little piece of history. Here is a fun fact: the oldest clock still in use is the Prague Astronomical Clock, which is the third oldest astronomical clock in the world.
St. Vitus Cathedral
The largest and most important Christian church in the Czech Republic is the Roman Catholic St. Vitus Cathedral (Katedrala St. Vita), located on the grounds of Prague Castle. It is also home to the tombs of countless saints and three Bohemian kings, as well as the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. Among the best things to do in Prague and top attractions, this is one of them.
The cathedral was begun in 1344 and took over 525 years to complete. It was built on the site of a Romanesque rotunda built in 925 AD and combines contemporary Neo-Gothic and 14th-century Gothic styles with Baroque and Renaissance influences.
Prague Landmarks
Some monuments of Prague are given below
Powder Tower
The Powder Tower, which can be seen in Prague’s Old Town, once served as a moat fortress. Because it once housed gunpowder, the structure is known as the Powder Tower. Wizards were allowed to study alchemy here by the emperor in the 16th century, and the sacristy of St. Vitus Church was preserved here in the 18th century.
It has now become a museum that exhibits relics related to alchemy, astronomy, and medieval art. Every day, a large number of people pass through the Powder Tower and enter the Old Town. This well-known Prague landmark serves as a border. The Powder Tower is also famous among the best things to do in Prague.
Town Hall
The Old Town Hall, one of the most important structures in Prague, Czech Republic, was built in 1338. The complex of five medieval houses that make up this historic town hall is adorned with a large rectangular tower, an old astronomical clock and an oriel window with a Gothic-looking window.
The Old Town Hall, with its beautiful interiors, painted ceilings and Gothic architecture, continues to be one of the historical monuments of Italy. Visitors to the Old Town Hall also enjoy the picturesque view of Prague from the observation gallery at the height of 70 meters of the tower. It is also one of the best things to do in Prague.
John Lennon Wall
In Prague, the Beatles’ legacy extends a little further than it did among musicians and music lovers in general. John Lennon, known worldwide for his music advocating harmony and peace, heralded the beginning of a revolution in Prague in the 19th century.
His death in 1980 effectively called the pacifist youth of Prague to this banal wall where they painted graffiti calling for a Czech free from the outdated regulations of the Communist Party. Since then, not only in the Czech Republic, but also in the rest of the world, this famous Prague monument has been enthusiastic as a shining symbol of peace and freedom. John Lennon Wall is also famous among the best attractions and things to do in Prague.
