The 10 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Prague, Bohemia

August 16, 2021 Joeann Galban

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock

The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant monuments in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1338 as the administrative seat for Prague's Old Town. Now, it is mainly used for the ceremonial purposes of the capital city, Prague. The historical town hall consists of a set of five medieval houses, the corner of which is adorned with a historical astronomical clock, a gothic oriel window and a massive rectangular tower. The lookout gallery on the town hall tower offers the most beautiful view of Prague. A tour of the historical halls in the Old Town Hall is a unique experience. The expensively decorated rooms date from various periods and are examples of the remarkable development of the town hall complex. The guided tours in various languages are organised in hourly intervals.

Absolutely LOVED this huge picturesque historical square and the wonderfully unique Astronomical clock, that does it's little music show for 2 minutes on the hour/every hour. Yes there are crowds but Prague is very popular - it's to be expected!! Get there early to see the 2 minute show for pictures/video, or eat at one of the restaurants that faces it (we recommend Cafe Mozart!!).

Charles Bridge

Connecting the Old town with Lesser Town, this popular pedestrian bridge is filled with musicians, painters, vendors and tourists during the summertime.

Reviewed By JaneA873

Lovely bridge with the towers at either end ( one of which you can certainly climb to the top (we didn’t do that) Great views across to Prague Old Town and back towards Mala Strana Petrin Hill and The Castle walking the other way . In June it was very busy and I recommend a stroll earlier in the day - the earlier the better, or very late at night if you dislike walking shoulder to shoulder with lots of people. Lined with artists doing portraits or caricatures, artisan wares and jewellery were interesting and early evening there were some great buskers to entertain. The statues/ Saints ( though not the originals as they are in a museum ) are really lovely to see. A busy but must see free Prague sight.

St Nicholas Church

The Church of St Nicholas in Lesser Town in Prague, the most famous Baroque church in Prague, stands along with the former Jesuit college in the centre of the Lesser Town Square. It represents a magnificent example of the "Prague Baroque" period of the 18th century. W.A. Mozart himself played the organ in this church!

Prague Castle

The largest castle in Europe contains more than seven hundred rooms.

Reviewed By wendyanddavid536 - Solihull, United Kingdom

Six of us came to Prague Castle. We spent an hour or so wandering through, then joined the free tour associated with our Hop On-Hop Off two day ticket. The tour was done by a spectacularly good young French girl, Caroline, whose knowledge of English, history and her humour made for a wonderful couple of hours. The highlights of the castle include the three courtyards with their splendid surrounding buildings, the Old Royal Palace, Golden Lane, the Powder Tower, St George's Chapel, the gardens and, of course, St Vitus Cathedral started in 1344 but not finished until 1929. Hugely crowded, but a great day out.

Loreta Praha

A Baroque-style shrine housing liturgical treasures including the famous star-shaped "Sun of Prague," which is studded with 6,222 diamonds. Place of pilgrimage, Loreto Treasure, baroque carillon, 3D model of newly discovered Crypt with special macabre fresco paintings.

Reviewed By Wenovo - Morris County, United States

The Loreta church bells are ringing. But they are not just ringing, they are playing a song. The Marian song. So lovely, that I wait around for it. The performance goes on every hour ( 9am - 6pm ). The famous chime of the bells is part of my childhood memories.. Miraculously, they chimed even during the communist era, when I Iived in Prague. The small bells are located in the tall clock tower and are original. 27 of them are connected to the clock. It works the same way today, as when it was first created. The 6,222 diamond monstrance on display is called Prague Sun. It is sure to dazzle. There are many other valuable artworks to be seen. I enjoy the peace and quiet , the tranquility of the serene courtyard. Taking a tram to Pohorelec is an easy way to Loretanske Namesti . Walking down the hill from there is also an easy way getting to the Castle. We were staying in Hotel Savoy , close by to the church, for the first part of our stay in Prague. That made it very easy to spend more time in the Castle area that week. Our month long visit in Prague was pre - Covid. Prague was still full of tourists. I am very sorry to read, that the church is experiencing hard times now. After all those years. It is heartbreaking ! I hope and pray that the current situation gets better soon. Hoping, my husband and I will be able to return, once again .... Growing up on Mala Strana, Sunday's visits here with my Dad, are still remembered fondly. Very special part of Prague , indeed .... Till next time, Dekuji a Nashledanou....

Staromestske namesti

The most significant square of historical Prague, it was founded in the 12th century and has been witness to many historical events. In addition to the Old Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the square is dominated by the Baroque Church of St Nicholas, the Rococo Kinský Palace, the Gothic House at the Stone Bell and the monument to Jan Hus. In the pavement of the square are memorial stones marking the execution of 27 Czech lords in 1621, and the Prague meridian.

We started our Prague city walk with the Prague Old Town Square since our hotel was located with walking distance. Wow, what a fascinating place it was, just like in fairy tales! Gorgeous streets with old and original street tiles/stones, amazing buildings all around, the fantastic Astronomical Clock, tall and historical Gothic Powder Tower, the wonderful Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, Charles Bridge, lots of beautiful and interesting shops and many great restaurants. And of course, with huge crowds. This was late September and we still saw many huge crowds in Prague Old Town Square and in all other city attractions. This was the busiest place of all places we visited during our vacation including Budapest, Salzburg and Vienna. It is not easy to describe this wonderful place because we were astonished everywhere we looked and walked. The whole place is just lovely. We went there multiple times and we still could not get enough of this charming and interesting place. We also went to Old Town Square during evening since the clock, the buildings, and Charles Bridge are so pretty when lit. Our first day walk took about 3 hours and we all really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend a visit of Prague Old Town Square and spending a few hours walking over this amazingly beautiful, historical, and fascinating place. Do not miss it!

Facing the center of Prague, this large urban park is a popular spot for hiking, skateboarding, picnics and other outdoor activities.

Lovely park with beautiful views looking down to the old town areas. Big and clean park and nice paths. Very possible to walk from old town to the park. Many public transports to get there. There are two very big beer gardens indifferent location of the park, both with fantastic views. Most evenings have musics. We were there till quite late at night, I was told by my friends who live in the area that people stay in the park till morning during weekends and holidays.

Prague Zoo

Prague Zoological Garden is situated near the center of the Czech capital, in a unique rugged landscape on the bank of the Vltava River. It opened in 1931 and during its existence of more than 80 years it has risen to become one of the most prestigious zoos in the world. Today, it is the second most visited tourist destination in the Czech Republic, just after Prague Castle. 5,049 animals and 676 species live in Prague Zoo. You can explore 13 pavilions and 150 exhibits over 58 hectares. The kids will love the Bororo Reserve, chairlift, mini-train, observation tower, paddling pool and Children’s Zoo. The pride of the zoo is its Elephant Valley, home to a sizeable herd of Asian elephants. The Giant Salamander House, where you can see the largest amphibians in the world – the critically endangered Chinese Giant Salamanders – is extraordinary as well; and the African House with an adjacent vast meadow inhabited by herds of antelopes and giraffes is worth your attention, too.

A great day, discount tickets (over 60) we got there and first saw the polar bear happily swimming around, and next enjoyed the Hippos swimming and playing, the elephants were sunning themselves, the giant tortoises were stamping around, but most impressive were the feeding lions and tigers, inside on display up close through the armoured glass. There were penguins, vultures, mountain goats, giraffes, but our highlight were the lions and tigers Fully recommended
