Activities in Prague

Take to the Vltava

There’s a majestic river flowing through the city, so it makes sense to do something on it while you’re there. On Slovansky Island you can rent a boat of your choosing. Prices vary depending on the size of the boat (they can hold anywhere from 2-6 people) and how long you want, but like most things in Prague it’s reasonably priced.

Paddle boats are however a super way for a couple to explore the river and Prague itself. Passing by Prague Castle provides one of the most romantic views, but a paddle boat isn’t just for lovers — it’s one of the great activities in Prague for families to relax, away from the hustle of the Old Town and enjoy Prague’s beauty.

Architecture & City Stories Tour

The city of Prague contains amazing historical architecture from around the 10th century until mid-20th century. One of the best activities in Prague is to let the cities architectural secrets and stories unfold in private tour led by locals who know the area like the back of their hand, and can tailor the tour to suit your personal interests.

Take a leisurely 3 hour walk, and get up close and personal with a diverse range of amazing buildings and architectural styles such as Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau and last but not least Cubism and Art Deco.

Take a City Bike Tour

There’s a lot of activities in Prague an it can take a while to get around walking. The answer: Take a bike tour! Your local guide can set you up with a bike and take you pedaling past some remarkable historic (and modern) sites and architecture and including the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, John Lennon Wall, the historic Jewish Quarter, riverside promenades, beautiful Malá Strana, Kampa Park, and many hidden spots. Learn all about the history and stories of Prague from your local guide on a relaxed-paced bike ride. You might work up a sweat on a hot day, but the views and a cool drink at the end will more than make up for it.

Vegetarian Dinner in a Bohemian Home

Not exactly the land that vegetables forgot — although Czech Republic is famed for its meat dishes — it’s actually pretty easy to find vegetarian food in Prague (there’s a vegan restaurant just across the Charles Bridge in Malá Strana).

A fantastic way of enjoying vegetarian, vegan or raw food is with a local host, who can prepare a meal to suit your dietary requirements using fresh local ingredients and cook them with distinct Czech flair. Try main dishes like vegan burgers, stuffed zucchini with potatoes — also soups and a variety of spreads.

Enjoy vegetarian the Bohemian way — one of the great activities in Prague!

Vysehrad Historical Private Tour

The Vyšehrad fortress is a historical fort established in the 11th century. Few people know it has been more important than the Prague castle for several centuries, but locals do. That’s why it’s a good idea to take a tour led by a local guide. You'll get to hear all about the fort’s glorious past and historical importance.

Local legend actually has it that Vyšehrad was the location of the first settlement which grew into Prague, though this claim remains uncertain. More trivia: Vyšehrad contains the ashes of famous classical composer Anton Dvořák whose ashes are interred in the Vyšehrad cemetery.
