15 Unique Things to Do in Prague (Updated 2025)

"I found the cathedral chillingly evocative of World War II history: two Czech paratroopers who carried out Operation Anthropoid hid in the cathedral’s crypt for three weeks after ambushing Reinhard Heydrich, and when the Germans finally broke in they were found dead; you can still see Nazi bullet holes in the exterior walls, and the site is covered on WWII walking tours." - Matthew Kepnes

A must-visit for anyone fascinated by the Czech Resistance, World War II history, and Operation Anthropoid. The museum on the lower level is highly informative, offering free resources in both Czech and English. The church remains an active place of worship, adding to its historical significance. In the back, a small gift shop features orthodox items for sale, providing a unique touch to the experience.

Beautiful cathedral. Did not see any workers on my visit except for construction contractors. However that did not prevent me from going in, buying candles at a self service, and placing them at the altars. There is also a display with old monasterial clothes and some history.

Visited this Holy Orthodox Church for their Sunday Divine Liturgy. Theres also a church shop with vast variety of holy objects available for purchase and I simply bought many things back to my country. Definitely visit!

I visited here twice. Eleven years ago, I was walking down the street to the dancing house, and I suddenly got to know this was the place because I knew the story and I saw the movie Operation Daybreak. I was thrilled to see the historic place, and that just by luck. This time, I visited here again. It is really a worth visiting place in Prague.

Tiny church in New Town with huge historic Czechoslovakia significance. Read about it or do a walking tour of new town / 20th century. Will only take 10 mins but is free and humbling.

If you have any interest in WW2 history, then this is a must. Free museum in the Crypt, dedicated to the Operation Anthropoid heroes. Takes around half an hour and you can walk straight in if its not too busy. Gives you a real sense of the whole operation and it's ultimate conclusion in the Cathedral.

A very solemn place where resistance fighters gave their lives for the freedom of the Czech Republic. Because this is a grave, remember to be quiet and respectful. A must see.

Visiting the Church of Sts. Cyril and Methodius in Prague was an unforgettable experience. This beautiful and serene church not only offers stunning architecture and a peaceful atmosphere for prayer and reflection but also holds a profound piece of 20th-century history within its walls. The crypt beneath the church is particularly moving—it served as the hiding place for the Czech resistance fighters involved in Operation Anthropoid, the daring mission to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich during World War II. Walking through this space, you truly feel the weight of courage and sacrifice. The church expertly balances its spiritual significance with its role as a historical monument, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in both faith and history. If you visit on a Sunday morning, don’t miss the chance to hear the beautiful choir during the service. Highly recommended!
