Walking Around Prague

Why go

The short distances between central sights let you notice changes in street pattern and architecture that a vehicle would skip. Yet many historic surfaces are uneven, and the route up from the river to the castle adds a real climb. A good walking day keeps nearby stops together and uses public transport when the terrain or distance becomes the main event.

Useful to know

• Group Wenceslas Square, Old Town Square and Charles Bridge as a central walk.
• Allow extra time on cobbled streets and for the climb toward Prague Castle.
• At crossings, follow the signals and watch for traffic and trams.
