Prague, from the bridge outwards.
Which castle ticket actually gets you inside. Which cruise is worth an evening. What the beer tour includes before you pay for it. Every tour in Prague, priced and ranked.
Prague is a hill, a square, a river and a beer.
Castle hill on one bank, the Old Town on the other, the Vltava between them and a pub at the end of it. Nearly every Prague itinerary is built from these four, and each one books differently.
In Prague, the evening cruise outsells everything.

50-Minute Sightseeing Evening Cruise
Fifty minutes on the water at the price of two beers, and more travellers take it than any other booking in the city. Behind it: the castle circuits, the medieval cellars, the dinner in the vaults.

Three courtyards, a cathedral, a basilica, a lane of tiny houses and a vineyard on the way down. Walking in costs nothing; St Vitus, the Old Royal Palace and Golden Lane sit behind a circuit ticket, and the queue for it is the reason guided entries exist.

The Vltava is how Prague shows off after dark.
The bridges light one by one, the castle turns gold above the Malá Strana roofs, and the cheapest seat on the river costs less than a museum ticket. Fifty-minute loops, buffet evenings, jazz below deck.
What Prague costs, from the river up.
Every tour on the site sorted by what it actually charges. Prague is one of the few capitals where the headline experience is also the cheap one.
River loops, tower tickets, ghost walks and the Old Town circuits — the everyday best of the city.
The full days: castle entries with a guide, beer tours, dinner cruises, the first ring of day trips.
Private drivers, small-group trips to Bohemia, and the once-a-visit evenings worth the money.
Three Prague habits that exist nowhere else.
Gothic churches and river cruises you can find across Europe. Bathing in beer, walking the buried street and watching a 600-year-old machine tell the time belong to this city.
The Beer Spa
A wooden tub filled with warm water, hop extract, brewer’s yeast and dark malt, with a tap of unlimited lager at your elbow and a straw bed to sweat on afterwards. Sessions run about an hour and the tubs are booked privately, usually two at a time — which is why they fill up on winter weekends.

The Buried Street
The Old Town keeps flooding, so in the thirteenth century Prague simply raised itself. Whole ground floors were buried and became cellars, and the Romanesque street survives under the square you walk on. Tours drop into the vaults, the dungeons and the wells that were left down there.

The Orloj
One dial carries the hour, the calendar, the zodiac and the position of the sun; another carries the months. On the hour the twelve apostles pass two small windows, the skeleton pulls his bell rope, and a few hundred people on the square look up. The whole show lasts about forty-five seconds.

Most of this city can be booked from the hotel the night before. These four run on fixed seatings, timed entry and rooms that hold a hundred people — decide on them before you fly.
- 01Medieval Dinner with Unlimited DrinksA fixed seating at a fixed hour in a vaulted cellar. Turning up on the night is not how it works.
- 02Entry Ticket Classical Concert at the Mirror ChapelThe Klementinum’s Mirror Chapel is a small room. Tickets are sold per performance, not per day.
- 03Skip-the-line Castle Ticket and Optional AudioGuideThe castle grounds are free to walk. The interiors run on timed circuit tickets, and the counter queue is the slow part.
- 04Kutna Hora UNESCO Site Tour with Bone ChapelThe ossuary at Sedlec runs on timed entry with a daily cap, and photography inside is not permitted.
When the rain comes off the Vltava, Prague goes indoors and downstairs.
Rain here is a spring and autumn habit, and the city is built for it: cellars two floors below the square, a chapel lined with mirrors, a tub of warm beer, a dinner that lasts three hours. None of these care what the sky is doing.
