Charles Bridge
Baroque statues over the Vltava — cross it at dawn before the crowds and the caricaturists arrive.
A fairy-tale skyline of spires, best seen with a beer cheaper than water.
When to go: April–May & September — gentle weather, the Christmas markets aside.
Best places to visit
Must-see
Prague Castle
The world's largest castle complex; the cathedral inside is the real draw, the views are the bonus.
Old Town Square
The astronomical clock does its hourly show — watch it once, then duck into the side streets.
Letná Beer Garden
Hilltop tables over the river and bridges; a cheap pilsner and the best free panorama in town.
Vyšehrad
A quieter hilltop fort with ramparts to walk and almost no tour groups.
Náplavka riverbank
Weekend farmers' market by day, riverside bars in repurposed vaults by night.
