With its brooding medieval architecture, Prague appears like something out of a dark fairy tale. Add in a hilltop castle, 14th-century stone bridge, and long, picturesque river and you have one of the prettiest cities in Europe. The beauty of the city is not all Prague has to offer: The Czech capital has a fascinating history, as well as a rich arts scene and traditional beer. The nature of the cobblestone streets lend themselves to aimless wandering, but tours by foot, boat, or bus ensure your clients see the most noteworthy medieval churches and hidden courtyards. The helpful addition of guide commentary makes it easier to understand the complexity of the city while exploring such top sights as Prague Castle, Old Town Square, and the Jewish Quarter.

Prague Castle

Things to Know

When to Visit

Spring and fall are the most pleasant times to visit Prague. Temperatures during these seasons are mild and there tends to be fewer visitors than there would be in the summer. Cold Czech winters are typical of Central Europe, so clients who do not deal well with cold should seek another time to travel.

Local Customs

When traveling on public transportation, visitors should be ready to give seats up for elderly passengers. If invited into someone’s home, it’s customary to bring a small gift (flowers are good) and it is expected that shoes will be removed at the door – you may even be given a pair of guest slippers!

During introductions, greet both men and women with a firm handshake. Refrain from asking “how are you?” as it is viewed as intrusive.

When tipping, round the bill up to the nearest 50 CZK or 100 CZK – do not overtip.

What the Locals Know

Contemporary artist David Cerny is much loved for his black humor and bizarre sculptures. His work can be found all over Prague, from the babies crawling up Zizkov Tower to the upside-down horse in Lucerna Gallery off Wenceslas Square.

Getting Around

Prague’s public transit system is cheap, reliable, and integrated—tickets are valid on the metro, trams, and buses, as well as transfers between them. Much of the historic center is closed to traffic, making walking an  enjoyable way to explore the city.

Driving around the Czech Republic has its disadvantages for travelers. The Czech Republic has one of the highest death rates in Europe. Drivers may be stopped at random police checkpoints and expected to produce documentation.

Things to Bring

Czechs tend to dress up, so suggest clients bring something smart to wear to dinner or the theater. If traveling in colder months, always pack layers so you can more easily go from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors.
