Things to do in Prague

Prague packs a thousand years of architecture into a centre you can cross on foot. The castle district looks down over the Vltava, Charles Bridge links it to the Old Town, and the lanes in between hide Baroque churches, vaulted cellars and one of the oldest working astronomical clocks in the world.

It is also an easy base for the Czech countryside. In a day you can reach the silver-mining town of Kutná Hora with its famous bone chapel, or the sandstone rock towns of Bohemian Paradise, and be back in the city for a river cruise or a concert in a candlelit chapel.
