Why go
Walk the compact centre to understand the river bend, then cross toward the castle courtyards and Cloak Bridge for a different view of the town. Svornosti Square gives the old town a natural pause. The historic streets can be explored freely, while castle interiors, tower and garden call for their own time and access checks.
What to look for
- The Vltava curves around the old-town lanes.
- Castle courtyards lead toward the Cloak Bridge.
- Svornosti Square sits at the heart of the historic centre.
Useful to know
- Allow a full day if you want the centre, castle, tower and garden together.
- From Prague, account for roughly 2.5–3 hours each way by direct bus; check current departures.
- Give the town at least two days for a slower visit with museums.
