A walkable route through Prague's top sights, day by day. Every stop shows which Prague Card unlocks it — so you can pick the card before you plan, or plan around the card you've already booked.
The historic core. You'll cover most of the ground on foot, use the tram once or twice, and hit five sights where the Visitor Pass alone unlocks all of them.
Old Town Hall + Charles Bridge Towers + Powder Tower + Municipal House are all PVP-only. You'll also use trams and the metro to reach the Jewish Quarter and the pier — free DPP transport comes with the pass.
Tower with lift, stateroom tour, best view of the Old Town Square.
Start at 9:00 to beat the tour groups. Climb the tower for the best Old Town Square view — the Astronomical Clock chimes every hour, catch the 10:00 or 11:00 show.
Panoramic climb at both ends of Charles Bridge — Old Town Bridge Tower + Lesser Town Bridge Tower.
Walk the bridge itself for free — it's the atmosphere. Climb the Old Town Bridge Tower on the way over; on the return, the Lesser Town Bridge Towers give a different angle.
Spanish Synagogue, Maisel, Pinkas, Klausen, Old-New Synagogue + Old Jewish Cemetery.
One ticket covers 7 sites in Josefov: Spanish, Maisel, Pinkas, Klausen & Old-New Synagogues + Old Jewish Cemetery + Ceremonial Hall. Allow 2–3 hours. Closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
Art Nouveau interiors, guided tour of the ceremonial halls, Gothic city gate.
Art Nouveau interior tour of the Municipal House — the ceremonial halls are stunning. Cross the street for the Powder Tower (Gothic gate to the Old Town).
One-hour scenic cruise through the historic center — Prague Venice.
Golden hour on the Vltava beats any postcard. Piers are near Čechův Bridge — check the app for exact departure times. Prague Venice canal boats are a smaller-scale alternative.
The Castle complex is the anchor — allow 3–4 hours. Downhill afterwards through Malá Strana to Petřín Hill and its funicular (free with the PVP transport ticket, or a small extra ticket otherwise).
The Castle circuit is included on Visitor Pass and CoolPass at the standard tier, and on Go City All-Inclusive only (not Explorer or Essentials). Lobkowicz Palace + Petřín Tower + Mirror Maze are on PVP and CoolPass; Go City covers Lobkowicz only on the All-Inclusive.
St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, Golden Lane, St. George's Basilica.
Enter through the main gate at 9:00 sharp. The full circuit takes 3–4 hours: St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, Golden Lane, St. George's Basilica. Security check at the entrance — small bags only.
Private art & instrument collection inside the castle grounds — Beethoven manuscripts, Canaletto paintings.
The only privately-owned building inside the Castle. Beethoven and Haydn manuscripts, Canaletto paintings, family silver. Audio guide included; balcony over the Vltava at the end.
Miniature Eiffel Tower + Mirror Maze — funicular ride included with public transport.
Take the funicular up from Újezd (free with PVP, ~€2 otherwise). The tower is a mini Eiffel — 299 steps to the top, or take the lift. Mirror Maze next door is a 15-minute detour, kid-approved.
Both towers on the castle side of Charles Bridge — one combined ticket.
Optional coda: climb one of the Lesser Town Bridge Towers for a final sunset shot over the Vltava and the Castle. Both towers as one ticket on the Visitor Pass.
Two very different Day 3s. Option A goes deep on museums (best fit for the CoolPass), Option B goes wide on family sights + the Big Bus HOHO tour (best fit for Go City All-Inclusive). Pick one — or squeeze both if your feet allow.
The National Museum is the reason to buy the CoolPass — no other Prague Card covers it. Pair with Kunsthalle and Kampa for a strong art day.
Neo-Renaissance landmark on Wenceslas Square — natural history, Czech history, minerals, coins.
The neo-Renaissance landmark at the top of Wenceslas Square. Multiple branches under one ticket (main building + new building + Vítkov Memorial). Allow 2–3 hours minimum.
Former electric substation, now a contemporary art hall — rotating international exhibitions.
Rotating contemporary art shows in a former electric substation on the edge of Malá Strana. Cafe at street level; the exhibition floors above.
Modern & contemporary art on Kampa Island — look for David Černý's crawling babies on the lawn.
Modern & contemporary Czech art on Kampa Island. Look for David Černý's crawling babies on the lawn — Prague's most Instagrammed sculpture. Sunset walk back over Charles Bridge.
Sights are spread out. The Big Bus HOHO (only on Go City) is the whole point — take the loop, get off at the Zoo, come back to the centre for a river break. Bring water shoes for a Prague Zoo + Aquapalace combo if travelling with kids.
14 stops around the city, multi-language on-board audio, buses every 15–20 min.
Every Go City tier includes this — 24 hours from your first tap-on. Not on Prague Visitor Pass or CoolPass (CoolPass has a small discount on City Sightseeing, a different operator).
Home to 5,000+ animals across 90 hectares in Troja — one of the world's top-ranked zoos.
Regularly ranked in the world's top 5 zoos. 90 hectares in Troja, north of the centre — the HOHO bus stops close. Plan 3+ hours; the elephants and gorillas are the headliners.
One-hour scenic cruise through the historic center — Prague Venice.
A second Vltava cruise — this time the 1-hour cruise included in every Go City tier. Different perspective from Day 1: after a full day the river is the reward.
This 3-day itinerary works with any of the 3 Prague Cards, but the value is very different depending on which one you pick. Take the 3-question quiz to see the best match for your trip.
