3 Day Itinerary For Prague, Czech Republic

Prague, Czech Republic is one of my favorite cities in the world. Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and unlike other cities in Europe, it was largely spared any damage during WWII. This means the gorgeous Gothic structures all over the city remain intact making it a very picturesque place to visit.

The city center has a ton of things to see and do and apart from the cobblestone, it’s very walkable reducing the need for you to spend a ton of money on public transport. The city is stunningly beautiful and the people are warm and welcoming. For the most part, they also speak English, making it very easy for American tourists to navigate the city.

You don’t need a ton of time in Prague and it’s entirely possible to visit Prague in 3 days if you travel at a moderate pace. For those of you who like to go slow, you may consider adding a couple more days to your stay. Only have time for 2 days in Prague? Not a problem, you can still see many of the city’s amazing highlights.

In the center of it all Prague Old Town Hall stands as a timeless symbol of the city's rich history and architectural splendor. Built in the 14th century, this stunning Gothic structure has witnessed centuries of change and remains a focal point for visitors. The Old Town Hall's iconic astronomical clock, a masterpiece of medieval engineering, continues to mesmerize audiences with its intricate design and captivating performances.

The astronomical clock is a marvel of medieval engineering. Dating back to the early 15th century, this intricate timepiece not only tells the time but also tracks the positions of the sun and moon in the sky.

Visitors from around the world gather in front of the clock every hour to witness the procession of the Twelve Apostles. These figures emerge from the clock, accompanied by the chime of bells.

You can also go inside Old Town Hall and The Astronomical Clock. And yes, the interior is wheelchair accessible.

Accessibility: Prague is littered with cobblestone streets, so word of warning, while technically accessible, riding around most parts of the city, including Old Town, will be bumpy.

Address: the Astronomical Clock, the center of Old Town is located at Staroměstské nám. 1, 110 00 Josefov, Czechia

The Charles Bridge

Visitors can stroll along the bridge, taking in panoramic views of the city and the Vltava River below. Street musicians and artists often line the bridge, adding to its lively atmosphere.

One tip for visiting the Charles Bridge is to beware of pickpockets. The area is often crowded making it a hot spot for thieves. It’s ideal to tour it earlier in the day to avoid the peak afternoon crowds.

Sample Some Czech Beer

The Czech Republic is the world’s largest consumer of beer per capita. There’s an estimated 188.5 liters (approximately 50 gallons) of beer consumed per capita. Czechs are particularly proud of their beer, as well they should be, it’s delicious. Which is why I highly encourage taking a beer-tasting tour. My recommendation is below.

Experience Prague's magnificent and ancient city center one laugh at a time on the Prague Historic Pubs Tour. Discover hidden pubs, great beer and wine, perfect photo locations, and hilarious tales. This tour is not wheelchair-accessible.

Day Two In Prague

WHAT TO SEE: Malá Strana (Lesser Town), Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, The John Lennon Wall, The Kafka Museum

Malá Strana (Lesser Town)

Malá Strana, also known as Lesser Town, is a charming district in Prague, Czech Republic. Located below the Prague Castle on the left bank of the Vltava River, Malá Strana is a picturesque area filled with historic architecture, quaint cobblestone streets, and a chill atmosphere.

Wandering through Malá Strana, visitors can admire Baroque palaces, stunning churches, and beautiful gardens. The area is also home to numerous cozy cafes, traditional Czech restaurants, and unique boutique shops.

One of the most iconic landmarks in Malá Strana is the magnificent St. Nicholas Church, known for its impressive dome and stunning frescoes.

 
St. Vitus Cathedral 3 Days In Prague Itinerary

St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle

 

Prague Castle

Across the River, you’ll find Prague Castle, one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic, and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest castle complex in the world. It’s also home to St. Vitus Cathedral, a prime example of Gothic architecture and the largest and most important church in the country.

 

Changing Of The Guard At Prague Castle

 

You can enjoy a good Czech pilsner across the street from the castle as you appreciate the views over Prague and watch the changing of the guard. The Prague Castle Guard seems to lack the cheeky humor of the guards at Buckingham Palace, as evidenced by the dearth of Dolly Parton tunes played during the guard change. Still, it was a pretty exciting thing to behold, even if no one was “Working 9 to 5.”

Purchase your Wheelchair Accessible Prague Castle Waking Tour Tickets here.

Visitors are allowed entry to the castle and many surrounding exhibits on the massive property. All but 2 areas (the 2 Tower structures) are wheelchair accessible, and admission is free to anyone with a valid disability ID card. Because the old royal palace complex is quite expansive, I would highly recommend bringing your cane or mobility aid. It could easily take a day or more to see all the exhibits depending on your pace. I would also recommend dressing in layers. The buildings are not heated, and if you visit in winter as I did, it can be quite chilly.

Address: Hradčany, 119 08 Prague 1, Czechia

 
Lennon Wall 3 Days Prague Itinerary

The Lennon Wall

 

The Lennon Wall

The Lennon Wall is a vibrant symbol of art and peace. Initially filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and lyrics from Beatles songs during the communist era, it has evolved into a constantly changing collage of colors, messages, and symbols expressing love, unity, and freedom.

Visitors are encouraged to contribute their own creative works to the wall, making it a powerful representation of individuality and collective expression. The wall serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of John Lennon and his messages of peace and love.

Address: Velkopřevorské nám., 118 00 Malá Strana, Czechia

 
Kafka Museum Statue Prague 3 Day Itinerary PDF

The Pissoir

 

The Kafka Museum

The Kafka Museum is a tribute to the renowned writer Franz Kafka. The museum offers visitors a glimpse into Kafka's complex world through a collection of manuscripts, letters, diaries, and personal belongings.

The exhibits are curated in a way that captures the essence of Kafka's most famous works, such as "The Metamorphosis" and "The Trial."

Walking through the museum, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of Kafka's existential themes, his unique writing style, and the historical context in which he lived. The interactive displays and multimedia installations provide a truly immersive experience.

Outside the Kafka Museum in Prague, visitors can encounter a unique and controversial art installation—a pissoir in the shape of a statue. This unconventional piece is intended to challenge traditional views on art and provoke thought and discussion among the museum's guests. Or alternatively, if you’re like me, it will make you laugh.

The statue, resembling a figure from one of Kafka's surreal tales, draws attention to the absurdity and complexity of human existence, much like the renowned author's literary works. While some may find this installation unsettling or inappropriate, others view it as a bold and thought-provoking statement on art, culture, and society. Or again, if you’re like me, it will make you chuckle.

Accessibility: The Kafka Museum is wheelchair-accessible.

Address: Cihelná 635, 118 00 Malá Strana, Czechia

Prague Dancing House What To Do In Prague In 3 Days

The Dancing House

 

The Dancing House

Located at Rašínovo nábřeží in Prague, the Dancing House is a distinctive modern architectural marvel amidst the historic buildings that line the Vltava River. Designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in collaboration with renowned Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, this unique structure stands out as a symbol of modernity and creativity in the heart of the Czech capital.

Architecture and Design: The Dancing House, completed in 1996, is often referred to as "Fred and Ginger" due to its resemblance to a dancing couple. The design features contrasting elements – a glass tower that seems to lean against a curved building – representing the harmonious dance of two partners. The unconventional architectural style of the building offers a stark contrast to the surrounding Baroque, Gothic, and Art Nouveau structures, making it a focal point along the city's skyline.

Artistic Significance: The Dancing House has become an iconic symbol of Prague, reflecting the city’s transition from its historic past to a more contemporary era.

Visiting the Dancing House: While the Dancing House primarily serves as an office building, visitors can appreciate its architectural splendor from the outside. Most of the building is not open to visitors, but on the seventh floor (elevator) is the Ginger & Fred Restaurant, an excellent place to taste Czech cuisine: pork knuckle with red cabbage and potato dumplings. The view of the illuminated Prague Castle is especially beautiful at night.

Accessibility: The restaurant inside is wheelchair accessible.

Address: Jiráskovo nám. 1981/6, 120 00 Nové Město, Czechia

 
Jewish Cemetery Prague Things To Do In Prague 3 Days

Graves in The Jewish Quarter, Prague

 

The Jewish Quarter

Prague's Jewish Quarter, known as Josefov, is a place rich in history and culture. This neighborhood holds significant historical importance.

Josefov has a tumultuous history, with its buildings witnessing centuries of Jewish life in Prague. Visitors can explore the Jewish Museum, which includes several synagogues, the Old Jewish Cemetery, and various exhibits detailing the Jewish experience in the city.

The architecture in the Jewish Quarter is a mix of different styles, reflecting the diverse periods of history it has endured. From the Spanish Synagogue with its Moorish revival style to the Old-New Synagogue, one of the oldest active synagogues in Europe, each building tells a story of resilience and faith.

Visiting Josefov is not just about admiring the architecture but also about understanding the cultural significance of this community. Through museums, tours, and landmarks, you can learn about the challenges and triumphs of the Jewish people in Prague.

While Josefov is steeped in history, it also embraces modernity with its trendy cafes, boutiques, and art galleries. The juxtaposition of the old and new creates a unique atmosphere that appeals to a wide range of visitors.

3 Day Itinerary Prague - Extended Options

If you care to extend your three days in Prague into 4 or 5 days in Prague, here are a few day trips from Prague that are well worth your time. I’ve covered both of these before in my blog, and linked to those posts below.

 
Sedlec Ossuary Kutna Hora Prague Itinerary 5 Days

Sedlec Ossuary, Kutna Hora

 

Kutna Hora and Selec Ossuary

Kutna Hora, located an hour from Prague, is a town filled with historical charm and architectural beauty. Known for its stunning Gothic architecture and rich silver mining history, Kutna Hora offers visitors a fantastic getaway from Prague.

One of the must-see attractions in Kutna Hora is the Sedlec Ossuary, also known as the Bone Church. This unique site is adorned with intricate designs made entirely of human bones, creating a macabre yet fascinating display.

Another highlight of Kutna Hora is the St. Barbara's Church, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture dedicated to the patron saint of miners. Its soaring ceilings and ornate decorations are a testament to the town's prosperous past.

Visitors can also explore the medieval town center, filled with charming cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and quaint cafes. The picturesque surroundings make it a delightful place to wander and immerse yourself in the town's ambiance.

I recommend the following wheelchair-accessible tour of Kutna Hora from Prague.

 
Terezin Memorial What To See In Prague In 3 Days

Terezin Memorial

 

Terezin Memorial

Located 45 minutes from Prague, the Terezin Memorial serves as a somber reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. It was originally a military fortress before being repurposed by the Nazis as a ghetto during World War II. The memorial now stands as a testament to the thousands of lives lost and affected by the horrors of the Holocaust.

Visitors to the Terezin Memorial can explore the preserved barracks, where prisoners were once cramped in appalling conditions. The walls are adorned with haunting artwork and inscriptions left by those who were imprisoned there. The small fortress, used by the Gestapo as a prison, also remains open for visitors to witness the chilling history it holds.

One of the most poignant aspects of the Terezin Memorial is the Museum of the Ghetto, which exhibits artworks and artifacts created by the prisoners. These pieces offer a glimpse into the daily struggles and resilience of those who were held captive in Terezin.

The memorial serves as a crucial educational site, ensuring that the stories of those who suffered are not forgotten. It stands as a stark reminder of the darkest chapter in human history and a plea for remembrance and reflection.

I recommend the following wheelchair-accessible tour of Terezin. Unfortunately, the only wheelchair-accessible tours from Prague to Terezin are private, so they will be on the expensive side. Visitors can also choose to take public transportation to Terezin to tour the memorial.

If you don’t need an accessible option, I recommend the following 5 1/2-hour tour of Terezin with transport from Prague to Terezin.
