Wonderful Prague City Breaks

If you’re a visitor to Prague, then chances are you’ll have only one or two days to experience the city. But don’t worry, we can help! Here’s our guide to what to do in Prague in one or two days.

What to do in Prague in one or two days?

Even in such a short stay, you can see the city’s most important sights and be sure to visit some of the many historical sites.

You’ll want to take a stroll through Old Town Square, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. This is where you’ll find St. Stephens Cathedral and Charles Bridge that spans across the Vltava River (the main river in Prague). You can also stop by Jewish Quarter where there are several synagogues built during medieval times as well as other buildings from that era.

Other places worth checking out include:

• Prague Castle—a royal residence built in 1054 by King Vladislav II
• Černín Palace—a large Renaissance palace used by nobles until 1918; now home to an art gallery open during public hours (Mon–Fri 10am–5pm)

The Prague Castle

The Prague Castle is the oldest castle in Bohemia, and one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions. It was built at the beginning of the 9th century by Prince Bořek as a defensive fortress against invading Hungarians and Saxons. Over time, it became an important royal residence and was expanded several times until it reached its present form in 1550 under King Ferdinand II (also known as Ferdinand I).

Today, this beautiful Gothic Revival castle houses several museums including two art galleries: the Museum of Decorative Arts (Měšťanská výzdoba), which holds paintings from medieval times up until modern times; and the Ethnological Museum (Sociologické muzeum), featuring collections from all over Europe including Spain and Italy!

The Charles Bridge

The Charles Bridge is a symbol of Prague and one of its most famous tourist attractions. The bridge was built in 1357, when it became the first stone bridge to connect two parts of Prague. Today, it’s still an important part of the city’s history and culture.

The Charles Bridge connects Old Town Square with New Town Square via Old Town Square (Karlův most), which sits at an elevation above ground level; this gives pedestrians access to some great views over Prague during summertime!

The bridge is also home to some great landmarks, including the Astronomical Clock and the Golden Gate. It’s no wonder that this bridge is one of Prague’s main attractions.

Wenceslas Square

Wenceslas Square is the central square in Prague, Czech Republic. It is located in the Old Town district of the city and named after King Wenceslas I of Bohemia.

The square has been a place of public gatherings since 1420, when it was used as a market place by merchants who came from all over Central Europe to sell their goods during fairs held here every year on Sundays.

The square became famous for its annual Christmas Market which was first held there in 1869; this tradition has continued until today with over 10 million visitors attending each year!

Vltava River Cruise

The Vltava River Cruise is a one-hour cruise through Prague’s Old Town, which takes in some of the city’s most famous sights.

Cruises run throughout the day and cost from £12 per person (at time of writing).

This tour is well worth doing if you have time to spare—it’s an excellent way to see some hidden treasures while also having fun with friends or family!

Jewish Quarter of Old Town Square & the New Synagogue

The old Jewish Quarter is a part of the Old Town Square, and it’s not just any Jewish quarter. It’s one of the most beautiful parts of Prague, filled with historic buildings dating back to the early 18th century.

The New Synagogue (a synagogue built in 1476) houses a museum detailing Jewish life in communist Czechoslovakia from 1945-1989. You’ll learn about how Jews were treated during this time period by seeing artifacts from their daily lives and hearing stories from Holocaust survivors who lived through those years under communism.

St. Nicholas Church & Museum of the Puppet Theatre (Malostranská)

Prague City Breaks is all about exploring the city, and St. Nicholas Church & Museum of the Puppet Theatre is a great way to do it.

The church is a small one, so if you’re looking for something bigger and more lavish than your average church in Prague, this might not be for you. But if you’re like me and have no interest in going on an epic adventure through Europe’s longest cathedral (or even into its second-longest), then this one will suffice!

The puppet theatre inside has been around since 1743. It’s located in Malostranská street within walking distance from Old Town Square where many other things can be found: restaurants serving traditional Czech meals such as roast pork or sausage; souvenir shops selling everything from postcards to stuffed animals; galleries featuring paintings by famous artists like Gustav Klimt who lived nearby.

Vysehrad

Vysehrad is a national monument.

There are two main halls and both are beautiful examples of Gothic architecture with many original features still intact today including arched windows which provide plenty of shade from sunlight during summertime months when temperatures soar high above 30 degrees Celsius.

Eating out

The food in Prague is world-class, and there are plenty of great options for dining out. If you’re looking for something romantic, try one of the many restaurants that have been recommended by visitors to Prague. You can also enjoy traditional Czech fare at a family-friendly restaurant or dine with colleagues over cocktails at one of the city’s many bars and pubs.

If you’d rather be somewhere more corporate than casual, head to one of Prague’s finest hotels where you’ll find an array of fine dining options as well as spectacular views from your room window

You can also find a wide range of cuisines in Prague, from French and Italian to Indian and Japanese. There are many places to choose from, but if you’re looking for something more local, try one of the traditional Czech pubs that offer delicious meals at reasonable prices. If you’re not sure where to start, ask your hotel concierge for recommendations based on what kind of food you’re craving.

It’s an incredible city

Prague is a city of many faces. It’s not just a place to visit, but also a place to live, work and study. And with its long history and rich culture, it’s also one of the most inspiring destinations in Europe.

Prague has something for everyone—the Gothic Quarter with its cobblestone streets and ancient buildings; the Jewish Quarter where you can see synagogues from centuries ago; Charles Bridge that crosses over Vltava River on its way into Old Town Square (Světový Dům is within walking distance); Street #7 which connects Old Town Square with Wenceslas Square; Old Town Square itself where you’ll find many shops selling everything from souvenirs/souvenir items to clothes/shoes etc.; Mala Strana district full of galleries & museums…
