Praga

Spending a day in Prague is a fantastic idea, and with your fast pace and desire to make the most of it, I’ve crafted an exciting itinerary for you and your girlfriend. Let’s dive in!

Morning: Rise and Shine!

6:00 AM - Arrival at Prague

• Welcome to the City of a Hundred Spires! Start your day with a strong cup of coffee at a local café. I recommend Café Louvre—it’s a charming spot with a rich history and delicious pastries. Grab a couple of croissants or a traditional Czech pastry, like trdelník, to fuel your adventure.

7:00 AM - Charles Bridge

• After breakfast, head to the iconic Charles Bridge. It’s less crowded in the early morning, and you can enjoy the stunning views of the Vltava River and the city. Don’t forget to take some cute couple photos with the statues!

Late Morning: Explore the Old Town

8:00 AM - Old Town Square

• Stroll over to the Old Town Square. Marvel at the Astronomical Clock and the stunning Gothic architecture of St. Vitus Cathedral. If you’re lucky, you might catch the clock striking the hour!

9:00 AM - Týn Church and the Jewish Quarter

• Take a quick walk to Týn Church and then explore the Jewish Quarter (Josefov). You can visit the Old Jewish Cemetery and the Jewish Museum if time allows. The history here is fascinating!

Midday: Lunch and Views

11:00 AM - Lunch at Lokál

• Time for a hearty lunch! Head to Lokál, a popular spot for traditional Czech cuisine. Try the goulash or svíčková (marinated beef with creamy sauce) and pair it with a local Pilsner. Expect to spend around €15-20 per person.

12:30 PM - Prague Castle

• After lunch, make your way to Prague Castle. It’s a bit of a hike, but the views from the castle are worth it! Explore the St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, and the charming Golden Lane.

Afternoon: Culture and Relaxation

• After exploring the castle, stroll down to Lesser Town (Malá Strana). The cobblestone streets are picturesque, and you can stop by St. Nicholas Church for a quick visit.

3:30 PM - Petřín Hill

• If you’re feeling adventurous, hike up Petřín Hill. You can take the funicular if you prefer a more leisurely ascent. Once at the top, enjoy the panoramic views of the city from the Petřín Lookout Tower. It’s a mini Eiffel Tower!

Evening: Dinner and Nightlife

5:00 PM - Dinner at U Medvídků
