Prague Classics for First-Timers
Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle and the Jewish Quarter: the core sights on foot in three days.
Three days by area: day one is the Old Town and Charles Bridge at night; day two the Castle District and Lesser Town; day three the Jewish Quarter and the Municipal House before departure. Almost entirely on foot with a little tram, at a moderate pace, it suits first-timers with limited time. No day trips or neighborhoods far from the center are included.
The Old Town is crowded in summer and around Christmas; visit Charles Bridge early in the morning or in the evening.
