Planning a babymoon in Prague
Castle terraces, gothic bridges, beer gardens with a river view. For two, decide between a hotel with service and a private rental with space — Expedia lists both in Prague, so you can weigh price, location and reviews in one search.
When the weather turns in Prague
Rain suits the interiors here. The Klementinum's Baroque library hall runs timed tours only, so book ahead. Obecni dum keeps you dry in Art Nouveau comfort, and the Lucerna passage, one link in a chain of covered arcades off Wenceslas Square, hangs Cerny's upside-down horse over its atrium. Otherwise ride tram 22 end to end for a heated tour of the city.
What to eat in Prague
Svickova na smetane, beef in cream sauce with bread dumplings and cranberry, is the dish to order, alongside gulas and roast duck with red cabbage. Lokal and U Kroka serve it without tourist markup. Trdelnik sold along Karlova is Hungarian in origin and not Czech at all. Drink tank-fresh Pilsner Urquell, and look to Vinohrady and Karlin for the better modern kitchens.
What first-timers get wrong in Prague
Validate in the yellow box the moment you board; plainclothes inspectors fine on the spot, and a 24-hour pass costs 150 CZK on paper against 140 CZK in the PID Litacka app. Never change money at the street kiosks near Old Town Square, where the rates are ruinous. Taxis hailed at the Castle overcharge, so use Bolt. Restaurant bread and nuts are billed per piece.
What's actually worth your time in Prague
Prague Castle is a walled district rather than a building: the Old Royal Palace and St Vitus need the paid Circuit ticket, while the courtyards and the view over the red roofs cost nothing. Charles Bridge is a photo stop, best taken before seven in the morning. The Astronomical Clock's hourly apostle parade lasts under a minute and disappoints almost everyone; Petrin's funicular and mirror maze repay more.
Prague's museums, and which one to pick
The National Gallery is scattered across palaces: Veletrzni palac for twentieth-century Czech and French modernism, Schwarzenberg for Baroque, Kinsky for Asian art, all shut Mondays. The Jewish Museum sells one circuit ticket covering the Spanish Synagogue, the Pinkas Synagogue walls carrying nearly eighty thousand handwritten names, and the Old Jewish Cemetery. It closes Saturdays and Jewish holidays, which strands unprepared weekend visitors.
