Our tips for Prague

  • Book in advance. Make sure to book Prague sightseeing tickets well in advance, especially if you are visiting during the peak season.

  • Shop till you drop on Saturdays. Shoppers will never be short of things to do in Prague, especially when the weekend rolls around. The city’s many antique, flea and food markets open their doors on Saturdays.
