However, most of these sites are often very crowded with tourists, so the best thing to do is to buy your tickets online before you leave. By following this tip, you can calmly check the different fares and offers from home but also avoid long queues at the on-site ticket offices.
Prague Castle is undoubtedly one of the city’s most visited attractions, as it is a huge fortified complex dating back to the 9th century that for years was the residence of the rulers of Bohemia. There are several types of tickets available to visit the site, as there are different tour circuits with different durations and prices.
In order to choose which tour you would like to take, we recommend that you buy your entrance ticket in advance, so that from home you have plenty of time to browse through the different options and decide which one might be best for you.
It is possible to enrich your visit to Prague Castle with an online audio guide that allows you to learn more about the history and most important information; alternatively, there are also tours with professional guides who can reveal every secret of the fortress.
The City Hall is located on Old Town Square (Staré Mesto in Czech) and it is here that many visitors choose to begin their tour of discovery of the Czech capital. The building also houses the tower with the famous Astronomical Clock. Inside the complex are the state rooms, the Gothic chapel of the Virgin Mary and several ceremonial rooms.
You can then go up to the third floor where you will find the tower’s panoramic terrace, which offers a wonderful view of the entire city. To ensure that you get a guided tour of the town hall and learn more about its history, we recommend that you buy your tickets in advance so that you don’t have to queue at the ticket office.

This pass allows you to buy a single ticket to access both the Castle and the Astronomical Clock. In addition, there is also an audio guide of the city that you can listen to via your smartphone and a boat tour.
Another way to admire Prague is to do so on one of the cruises on the Vltava River, organised both during the day and in the evening, so you can discover the city from a different perspective. Tours after sunset are perhaps more atmospheric (and also more romantic) and allow you to enjoy the most iconic sites illuminated.
Some cruises also allow you to dine on board and sample excellent local cuisine while gently cruising the waters of the Vltava River.
Prague’s nightlife is active and lively, so take advantage of the evening hours to continue exploring the city. In addition to the cruise on the Vltava River in the evening, you can take part in a medieval dinner with entertainment provided by musicians, swordsmen, jugglers and belly dancers. A way to spend a different evening and take a real trip back in time!
The bravest ones cannot miss a ghostly tour of the Old Town. During this activity, the darkest alleys will be visited and the stories of magicians, alchemists and murderers who walked these narrow streets centuries ago will be told.
