What to do and see in Prague, Bohemia: The Best Historic Walking Areas
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

The most significant square of historical Prague, it was founded in the 12th century and has been witness to many historical events. In addition to the Old Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the square is dominated by the Baroque Church of St Nicholas, the Rococo Kinský Palace, the Gothic House at the Stone Bell and the monument to Jan Hus. In the pavement of the square are memorial stones marking the execution of 27 Czech lords in 1621, and the Prague meridian.

We started our Prague city walk with the Prague Old Town Square since our hotel was located with walking distance. Wow, what a fascinating place it was, just like in fairy tales! Gorgeous streets with old and original street tiles/stones, amazing buildings all around, the fantastic Astronomical Clock, tall and historical Gothic Powder Tower, the wonderful Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, Charles Bridge, lots of beautiful and interesting shops and many great restaurants. And of course, with huge crowds. This was late September and we still saw many huge crowds in Prague Old Town Square and in all other city attractions. This was the busiest place of all places we visited during our vacation including Budapest, Salzburg and Vienna. It is not easy to describe this wonderful place because we were astonished everywhere we looked and walked. The whole place is just lovely. We went there multiple times and we still could not get enough of this charming and interesting place. We also went to Old Town Square during evening since the clock, the buildings, and Charles Bridge are so pretty when lit. Our first day walk took about 3 hours and we all really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend a visit of Prague Old Town Square and spending a few hours walking over this amazingly beautiful, historical, and fascinating place. Do not miss it!

My favorite Baroque garden in Prague. As beautiful as it is , I must admit that I am partial to anything and everything in the Mala Strana area. I remember coming here, when it was largely unkept, in disrepair, during the communist era, but still beautiful in its own right. Over the years coming back to Prague and staying in the hotel Aria , with the Vrtba garden in its " backyard, " we had many opportunities to enjoy the garden with unlimited access from the hotel. Whether it is worth to pay for entrance, is of course subjective. I don't mind. There are wedding parties photographed on the weekends, they may limit access . We have seen several from hour hotel windows during our past visits . Best views are from the very top of the garden. More steps to climb ! Great photos opportunity . Best time to visit : June - August.

You don't have to be rich to to enjoy spending some time here. Most people I observed were just strolling around, window shopping only. This tree lined boulevard has so much beautiful architecture , that makes it worthwhile coming here for just that. One of the prettiest streets in Prague. As it is very close to Staromestske Namesti , lots of tourists already there continue on to take this route to the Jewish quarter, or to the riverbank. As many times as I have been there, I always find something interesting to look at. Up high ! If, on the other hand, you feel like checking out the famous designers stuff, it could be fun too , I am sure.
