10 Best Things to Do in Prague

"Back in the 1970s, every British student worth their salt would have a poster by Czech graphic artist Alfons Mucha on their wall, swirling romantic illustrations that encapsulated the Art Nouveau period. Very bohemian, you might say. Head to the Kunsthalle Praha, which opened in 2022 in a former electric station in the centre of Prague, and it’s worth visiting for its café terrace alone, which has brilliant views over Petrin Hill and Prague Castle. Kunsthalle isn’t the only modern-art cat in town: Trafo Gallery is set in a former slaughterhouse, while Kampa Museum, founded in 2003 by Meda Mladeks, occupies a series of 14th-century mills on the River Vltava and contains a wonderful collection of mainly Czech artists, including abstract pioneer Frantisek Kupka." - Rick Jordan

My Suggested 4 Day Prague Itinerary for 2025

"Beneath the Old Town Hall you can explore the catacombs — the original lower levels of medieval houses — now presented as an exhibit showcasing medieval life (enter through the tourism office)." - Matthew Kepnes

I visited the Old Town Square in Prague and really enjoyed the experience. It’s one of those places where you immediately feel the atmosphere of the city. The square is surrounded by stunning historical buildings, each with its own charm, and the Astronomical Clock adds something truly unique to the whole scene. It was quite busy when I visited, with a lot of tourists, but that only added to the lively character of the square. What I liked most was simply standing there and watching the mix of architecture, people, and history all in one place. You don’t just see the sights—you feel like you’re part of the city’s story. Overall, I’d say it’s one of those must-visit spots in Prague. It’s not just about checking off a landmark, but about experiencing the heart of the city itself.

The Old Town Square is one of the most beautiful and lively places in Prague. Surrounded by stunning architecture, historic buildings, and vibrant street life, it’s the perfect spot to feel the heart of the city. There are great cafés, restaurants, and street performers adding to the atmosphere. It can get extremely crowded, especially during weekends and holidays, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a must-visit and one of the most iconic spots in Prague!

Amazing square, a must go in Prague! Beautiful everywhere you look. It is usually packed with tourists so I’d recommend going in the morning and spending at least 30 minutes soaking in the vibe

Visiting the Old Town Square in Prague felt like stepping into a living masterpiece, breathtaking Gothic and Baroque architecture, every corner of the square tells a story from centuries past. The intricate details of the buildings, the Astronomical Clock’s hourly show, and the lively yet peaceful atmosphere make it a place where history and artistry beautifully intertwine. I was completely immersed in the Bohemian spirit — the charming cafés, street performers, and cobblestone paths created a magical ambiance that captures both the heart and imagination. The energy is vibrant during the day and enchantingly romantic at night when the lights cast golden hues across the Gothic towers. A visit to Prague isn’t complete without losing yourself, even for a moment, in the soul of the Old Town Square. It’s not just a place to see — it’s a place to feel.

The main square of the city and probably biggest and most visited sight in the whole city. A large square surrounded by medieval buildings, of which the most famous are the old town hall and the church of the madonna. Absolutely fabulous and a must visit place, which of course has it's drawbacks: it is extremely packed with tourists.

Took these photo during my trip to Prague from Vienna in 2022 Mid Dec. Walking from the train station to old town square before reaching the castle. Quite an eye opening as walking from train station to the castle lets you experience many of the old historical buildings. Nice place to visit. History: Prague's Old Town Square, or Staroměstské náměstí, has served as the city's main public gathering space since the 10th century. Surrounded by historic architecture spanning multiple periods

One of the oldest parts of the city is the heart of medieval Prague. The most significant square of historical Prague, founded in the 12th century, has witnessed 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 Kinsky Palace, the Gothic House at the Stone Bell and the Jan Hus Monument. On the pavement of the square there are memorial stones commemorating the execution of 27 Czech lords in 1621 and the Prague Meridian. Perhaps the most beautiful square in the whole city. Gothic houses and churches; cobblestone streets and squares; stone towers create an amazing historical atmosphere. And all kinds of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, shops of international brands, galleries and hotels give energy to the old city, presenting its modern face.

This square in Prague has delightful architecture to see. It also has the famous Astronomical Clock. There are many restaurants with outdoor places to sit and eat. You can go to the top of the Old Town Hall by walking up many steps or purchasing an elevator ticket. Here you will see great views of the surrounding areas from up there.
