Our Proposal
DAY 1
Upon landing at Václav Havel Airport, take bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín, then hop on the metro to reach the city center. After checking in at a centrally located guesthouse or a budget-friendly hotel in Old Town or Malá Strana, it's time to start exploring.
Begin your journey in Old Town Square, where the Astronomical Clock puts on its famous hourly show. Wander through the cobbled streets, soaking in the medieval charm, before making your way to Charles Bridge. As the sun sets, the view over the Vltava River becomes even more magical. For dinner, head to a traditional Czech pub and try local specialties like svíčková, a tender beef dish served with creamy sauce, or a hearty plate of goulash with dumplings.
