1, 2 & 3 Day Prague Itineraries

1

Day 1: Old Town, Charles Bridge & the Jewish Quarter

Morning (09:00 - 11:00)

Old Town Hall Tower, Prague, Czechia

Start in Old Town Square. Watching the Astronomical Clock's hourly apostle procession is free, but climbing the tower and interiors needs a ticket — and the elevator to the top is a separate surcharge on top of the base admission.

Tickets: No reservation required; skip-the-line tickets available online for the tower only.

Duration: ~1 h

Midday (11:30 - 13:00)

Old Town Bridge Tower, Prague, Czechia

Walk across Charles Bridge — free, no toll — and climb the Old Town Bridge Tower at its Old Town end for river views.

Tickets: No reservation required.

Duration: ~1 h

Travel: ~10 min walk from Old Town Square

Afternoon (13:30 - 17:00)

Jewish Museum in Prague, Czechia

Spend the afternoon in the Jewish Quarter (Josefov). The combined ticket covers 5 sites (Maisel, Pinkas, and Klausen Synagogues, the Spanish Synagogue, and the Old Jewish Cemetery) — the Old-New Synagogue is ticketed separately.

Tickets: No reservation required; closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays.

Duration: 2.5 - 3 h

Travel: ~10 min walk from the Old Town Bridge Tower

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• The Old-New Synagogue is NOT included in the Jewish Museum's combined ticket — budget for it separately if you want to see it.
• Old Town Hall Tower's elevator costs extra on top of the base admission — climbing the stairs is included, riding up is not.

Day 2: Prague Castle & the Lesser Town

Open in Google Maps

Morning - Afternoon (09:30 - 14:00)

Prague Castle, Prague, Czechia

Spend the morning and early afternoon at Prague Castle. The grounds and courtyards are free to enter — only the Main Circuit (St. Vitus Cathedral nave, Old Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica, Golden Lane) and the separate Permanent Exhibitions ticket require payment.

Tickets: Circuit tickets sold at on-site information centres; the Main Circuit is also bookable online.

Duration: 3.5 - 4.5 h

Afternoon (14:30 - 16:00)

Lesser Town Bridge Tower, Prague, Czechia

Walk down through the Lesser Town (Malá Strana) to Charles Bridge's western end and climb the Lesser Town Bridge Tower — priced lower than its Old Town counterpart.

Tickets: No reservation required.

Duration: ~1 h

Travel: ~20 min walk downhill from Prague Castle

Route Map — Day 2

📍 Pinned landmarks on map:

1. Prague Castle 2. Lesser Town Bridge Tower

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• Prague Castle's grounds are free — you only pay for the specific buildings and exhibitions inside.
• The Lesser Town Bridge Tower and the Old Town Bridge Tower are two separate, separately-ticketed towers at opposite ends of Charles Bridge, priced differently.

Day 3: Petřín Hill & Vyšehrad

Open in Google Maps

Morning (09:00 - 11:30)

Petřín Lookout Tower, Prague, Czechia

Climb Petřín Tower in the morning. The base ticket covers the stairs — reaching the top platform by elevator costs a separate surcharge on top of admission.

Tickets: No reservation required. The Petřín funicular up the hill is a separate transport ticket, not tower admission.

Duration: ~2 h incl. park walk

Afternoon (12:30 - 16:00)

Vyšehrad, Prague, Czechia

Cross the river to Vyšehrad in the afternoon. The fortress grounds, ramparts, and cemetery are free to walk — only the underground Casemates tour is a paid, separate ticket.

Tickets: Grounds need no ticket. Casemates tickets can be booked online at a discount over the on-site price.

Duration: 2.5 - 3.5 h

Travel: ~30 min by tram/metro from Petřín

Route Map — Day 3

📍 Pinned landmarks on map:

1. Petřín Lookout Tower 2. Vyšehrad

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• Vyšehrad's grounds are genuinely free and far less crowded than Prague Castle — a good counterpoint if the Castle felt packed on Day 2.
• Book Vyšehrad's Casemates ticket online rather than on-site — it's confirmed cheaper that way.
