Holiday in Prague

Prague Underworld is the perfect programme for a bad weather day. Various guided tours show hidden rooms, dungeons and cellars in underground Prague, where you can also learn a lot of information about Prague's medieval history. 

The Golden Lane is part of Prague Castle and is also called Alechmists' Lane, because alchemists are said to have worked here in the past to uncover the secret of the artificial production of gold. In the various houses of the almost 100-metre-long alley, where Franz Kafka also lived, there are various exhibitions that illustrate life at that time. Free entry with the Prague Visitor Pass (available at our reception).

The Beer Museum is located in the heart of Prague and tells a lot about beer production but also about the already 1000-year-old art of brewing in the Czech Republic. Beer tasting is offered, and an absolute highlight is filling and labelling your own beer bottle, which you can take away as a souvenir and of course enjoy. 

The John Lennon Wall, which is located in the immediate vicinity of Charles Bridge, is a wall full of street art that stands as a symbol for peace, love and freedom. The wall tells a lot of history and there are always new street art works put on the wall, so there is always something new to discover. 

Everyone likes chocolate, don't they? In the Chocotopia chocolate museum, there is a lot of chocolate knowledge about the history and production of this treat, but also many different works of art to admire. Of course, it makes you want to eat chocolate, which is why there are also various tasty treats to taste and a variety of workshops to learn even more about chocolate and how it is made.

Discover Prague from the comfort of a boat! On the various Vltava boat tours, you can admire a wide variety of Prague highlights from the river Vltava without having to walk around the city all day. A great experience, especially for children but also for adults. 

Hundreds of butterflies flutter around the Papilonia butterfly house, impressing with their unique elegance and beauty. The green oasis offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of butterflies, which is also ideally suited for a visit in bad weather. 

Experience art through our senses! The Museum of the Senses focuses on our senses through optical illusions, scent tests and other effects. The museum has a 3D stable, a vortex tunnel, a bed of nails and many other attractions to explore. 

Prague Zoo is one of the most beautiful zoos in the world. Over 650 different animal species are at home on the 58 hectares of the zoo. Whether large animals like elephants, giraffes or lions but also the smaller animals like insects, frogs or mice can be found in Prague Zoo. A visit is definitely a beastly good idea. Free entry with the Prague Visitor Pass (available at our reception).

Who doesn't know Lego? The LEGO Museum in the centre of Prague has the world's largest collection of LEGO exhibits, which will amaze you. The museum has 20 LEGO themed areas where you can marvel at various themes such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, Super Mario, Disney but also Prague attractions as LEGO versions. In addition to the museum, there is a LEGO building set shop where you can buy your own LEGO. 

Prague Castle was founded as a fortress in the 9th century by Prince Bořivoj, the first Christian prince of Bohemia. Over the centuries, the castle complex expanded. The castle is raised up on a high hill above the Vltava and overlooks the entirety of the old city. Here are some of the top attractions that the castle is a part of: the Old Royal Palace, Vladislav Hall, the Bohemian Chancellery, StVitus Cathedral, StWenceslas Chapel, Golden Lane, St.George's Basilica and the Great South Tower of the Cathedral. There are audio guides or guided tours, lasting 1 hour.

Known as Václavské náměstí by the citizens of Prague, it is one of the two most important squares in the city, and forms the centre of Prague's entertainment and nightlife. The main shopping and business districts start here, and it is one of the city's most popular locations. At the upper end of Wenceslas Square is the monumental National Museum, and just to its left, the State Opera of Prague. Within the square, there is a bronze statue of St. Wenceslas.

In its early centuries it was called the Stone Bridge, and it was a Gothic stone bridge connecting two parts of the city, the Old Town and the Lesser Town. The Czech King and Emperor, Charles IV, started construction in the 14th century. The towers at either end of the bridge are known as the Charles Bridge Towers, and can be climbed for a view overlooking Prague.

The Jewish Quarter is located between the Old Town Square and the River Vltava. The neighbourhood has six synagogues, including the Maisel Synagogue, the Spanish Synagogue, and the Old-New Synagogue; the Jewish Ceremonial Hall; and the old Jewish cemetery. In the 13th century, the Jewish people were forbidden to live anywhere else in Prague. Today, these buildings form the best preserved complex of historic Jewish buildings in all of Europe. The Jewish Museum is closed on Saturdays and on Jewish holidays.

The Old Town Square, or Staroměstské náměstí, is the main square within the historic quarter of Prague, and was completed in the 14th century. The square is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Czech capital, and the crowning jewel is the Prague Astronomical Clock. The observation deck offers a breathtaking view of the Old Town Square.

The Lesser Town is just a 10-minute walk from the centre of the Old Town Square. The baroque and picturesque sights make it a popular film set, and a top choice for tourists looking to enjoy the feeling of a golden day in Prague over a quiet lunch overlooking the River Vltava.

The Dancing House building was designed by the Czech architect Valdo Milunic and the Canadian Frank Gehry. This remarkable structure includes both dynamic and static elements and resembles a dancer hanging from the arms of her male partner. The Dancing House is located by the River Vltava, on Resslova Street. Its ultra-modern design caused controversy during construction. Years later, Prague is proud to display its magnificent Dancing House. On the top floor there is a café with a terrace overlooking Prague Castle.
