Ultimate Guide: the Best Prague Tours, According to a Local

  • June 14, 2023
  • 8 minute read

How many times have you visited a new city, excited to learn more about the history and the culture…only to take an underwhelming tour? Prague may be one of the most historically dense cities in Europe – there’s just SO much to see in Prague . From Prague Castle to Charles Bridge and beyond, there is endless history, culture and hidden gems to unpack across this central European city. No matter the length of your stay, booking a Prague tour might be the best option to maximize time AND learn about the city. As a local, I can assure you the best way to see Prague is by taking tours in Prague. 

Prague's Mala Strana neighborhood, one of the best spots to do Prague tours.

But how do you pick a great tour? I’m here to help. As a Czech-American living in Czech Republic , I’ve seen (and done) my fair share of mediocre or just straight-up terrible tours in Prague. Not all Prague tours are created equal, after all. So how do you pick the best tours in Prague for your needs? I’m breaking down all the best Prague tours according to interest – so whether you’re a foodie looking for the best up-and-coming spots or a devout walking tour fan, I’ve got something for everyone on my list. Let’s dive into the ultimate Prague tours guide!

The Best Prague Tours 

Prague will always be one of my favorite places to visit in Europe – and that’s because the city is packed with endless history. Booking tours in Prague can be a great way to unpack and explore the city beyond the guidebooks. Here’s my ultimate list of the best Prague tours to make your trip as special and unforgettable as possible! Let’s dive in. 

Prague's Old Town neighborhood, one of the best spots to do Prague tours.

Pro tip : Not sure what to pack for your Prague trip? Check out  my full packing guide for Prague and Czech Republic here . It’s filled with useful tips about weather, different region, a complete checklist for every season, and more!

The best Prague tours to see it ALL

So you only have one day and want to see all the best Prague highlights ? Easy peasy, friend. I got you covered. When you’re booking a Prague tour to see highlights, you should look for a tour that combines Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, Prague Castle and other major highlights. 

If you’re looking for Prague tours that covers all the Prague highlights , including Charles Bridge, I recommend this walking tour — which includes a typical Czech lunch and hour-long boat cruise, too! There’s no way to see every single thing in Prague, but this tour comes pretty close to including all the most important highlights. There’s no better way to visit the best places to visit in Prague in one tour.

The best Prague food tour 

Prague's Foodie Tour, one of Prague's best tours

I’m going to be honest with you: I only recommend one Prague food tour. That’s right. Just the one. 

Why? I’m a foodie at heart, and I take my food recommendations seriously (see: my favorite Prague restaurants here and my honest-to-God list of the best bakeries in Prague here). I would never recommend just any Prague tour, and I certainly would never recommend anything other than the best Prague food tour on the market. 

If you’re looking for THE best food tour in Prague, this is the one you need to book . The Prague Foodie Tour is run by the best food bloggers in Prague. Each day, they take a small group of people to some of Prague’s best restaurants – all within a one-mile span. You’ll taste some of Prague’s best food, of course, but you’ll also learn a lot about Czech food and the context behind the cuisine. The food is delicious, the beer is amazing, and you’ll have the best time ever. Book the Prague food tour here . 

The best free walking tour in Prague

Prague Free Walking Tour

Walking tours in Prague are the best way to meet new friends and see the city at the same time. One of my friends in Prague, a lifelong local, does free walking tours with Free Walking Tour Prague . These are, hands down, the best free walking tours in Prague. 

Free Walking Tour Prague is a small, local company based in Prague. All the professional guides are either local Czechs passionate about Prague history or longtime Prague residents who speak Czech. The company has a variety of tours covering different sights across Prague; they operate daily in English and Spanish. Book your tour here . 

The best (paid) walking tour Prague

Prague's Old Town neighborhood, one of the best spots to do Prague tours.

Walking is, hands down, my favorite way to explore Prague. I’m going to break down two of my favorite walking tours in Prague. The first is much shorter, and the second is a little longer for those visitors looking for Prague tours that cover it all. 

Let’s start with the first option: this three Euro tip-based tour. Yes, you heard me right. To join this tour, it costs just THREE Euros. It doesn’t get much better value than that. The tour is run by the good people behind Real Prague Guides – locals who want to help you explore Prague and make your stay memorable. 

With this tour, you’ll spend roughly three hours exploring Old Town, the Jewish Quarter and Charles Bridge, among other top sights. Group sizes range from 10 to 30 people, depending on the day. At the end of the tour, if you’re happy, you can leave a tip for your guide. 

Looking for a longer tour option? The best paid walking tour of Prague lasts six hours – but includes many of Prague’s top sights. This tour may be a little longer, but it includes lunch and a one-hour boat cruise on the Vltava. All in all, it’s an excellent value to see Prague’s best highlights. Book my favorite paid walking tour here . 

The best bus tours in Prague

I’m going to be completely honest with you: don’t book a bus tour. Bus tours in Prague are perhaps the worst way to see Prague. Most of Prague’s historic center isn’t built for big buses or hop-on-and-off buses. In fact, these buses can’t really access many of Prague’s sights. Instead of booking bus tours in Prague, I’d highly recommend opting for public transit instead – or even booking a group walking tour through Prague instead. 

The best Prague boat tours

Prague's Old Town neighborhood, one of the best spots to do Prague tours.

Boat cruises may seem touristy, but in my humble opinion, boat tours are a wonderful way to see Prague in a whole new light. The best Prague boat tours cruise down the river at sunset, offering drinks, snacks (or even full meals!) and plenty of outdoor space to snap as many photos and videos as you want. 

Since moving to the Czech Republic, I’ve done multiple boat tours along the Vltava River. This is the boat tour we did for our Valentine’s Day , and it was honestly perfect (and the food wasn’t bad either!). Boat tours like this one are perfect for summer visits. Trust me: with the breeze blowing through your hair and the sun setting over Prague Castle…You’ll fall even more in love with Prague. 

The best private tours in Prague

Prague's Old Town neighborhood, one of the best spots to do Prague tours.

Sometimes, crowds can be overwhelming. I get it, I feel the same way. That’s why I always recommend a private tour option for people looking for Prague tours. Private tours offer much more flexibility, give you the opportunity to ask more questions and help you see Prague at your own pace.

If you’re seeking out a shorter version of the best private tours in Prague, check out this 3-hour tour of Prague . You can opt for a walking version or a private car, depending on your preferences and mobility. The tour includes all the best Prague highlights, from Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral to the Jewish Quarter, Old Town and Charles Bridge. However, you have the option to customize the tour with your guide in advance to ensure you see what you want to see. 

For visitors looking to spend a little more time in Prague, I always recommend this full-day private tour of Prague . It’s an excellent value for what you get! You’ll see Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, of course, but you’ll also visit Strahov Monastery, Petrin Tower, St Nicholas’ Cathedral as well as the Lennon Wall. It’s AMAZING value for the price – you’re truly seeing the best of Prague. You can customize the tour with your guide in advance, as well, to ensure you see exactly what you want. 

Likewise, you can opt for a walking version – or a private car, depending on your preference. The price includes transport and hotel pick up. 

The best tours in Prague to get OUT of the city 

The view from State Castle Cesky Krumlov, considered one of the most beautiful castles in Czech Republic

If you’re in Prague for more than a couple days, I always recommend visitors spend some time outside of Prague. Don’t get me wrong: I love Prague. But there’s so much beauty and wonder to explore across the Czech Republic. In fact, many of the best trips can be done as day trips . 

Many people opt to visit one of Czech Republic’s most beautiful castles because so many of them lie nestled in the countryside around Prague. 

You can, of course, plan one of these trips yourself. A lot of the Prague day trips below are accessible by rental car, train or bus – but the routes may not always be super direct. 

If you’re looking for a more seamless experience, I personally recommend booking a tour. Why? Well, many of the historical guided tours at castles (especially the smaller ones!) are not in English — or they operate English tours at a reduced schedule. 

Plus, guided tours help coordinate transport and fees to streamline a stress-free experience. 

If you’re looking to explore the Czech Republic, these are the Prague tours I recommend for first-time visitors and frequent visitors alike…. 

  • Bohemian Switzerland National Park , an otherwise difficult hiking area to access without a car. If you love nature, you cannot miss this absolutely BREATHTAKING scenery. This tour is a fantastic option because you can tailor your trip to exactly what you want to see. Book early , as it often sells out! 
  • Cesky Krumlov , also known as one of the most magical cities in Czech Republic .
  • Konopiste Castle , the last home of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne (you may know him from your history books — his assassination in Sarajevo triggered World War I). I personally love this tour because Lucy is really passionate about her work. You spend a lot of time exploring the castle, too. 
  • Hluboka Castle and Cervena Lhota Castle , two of my favorite castles in the south of Czech Republic (and two of the most BEAUTIFUL castles, hands down). This tour combines the two , which is a great option for anyone who doesn’t want to rent a car and drive through windy roads.
  • Terezin : Terezin was a concentration camp north of Prague during World War II. This spot was once a resort town for Czech nobility. During the war, more than 150,000 Jews were sent to Terezin before being sent to their deaths at Treblinka and Auschwitz extermination camps in occupied Poland, as well as to smaller camps elsewhere. It’s a difficult place to visit, but if you’re interested in a darker side of Czech Republic’s history, Terezin can be a painful reminder to never repeat the mistakes of our past. This bus tour is the best way to visit from Prague. The guide is very knowledgeable and doesn’t rush you through the site.

What other guests say about our tours and locals

"Michal was a great food tour guide. He took us to the local places just like we wanted and told us stories about the different food we were trying. Everything we ate was delicious. It was the best food we had during our visit to Prague. Highly recommend Michal"

local Michal

Cesky Krumlov is really beautiful!

"This is a really very beautiful town! Thanks to Hana who helped to check the weather forecast and proposed that we bring forward our day trip from Monday to Sunday, we have so many beautiful photos taken in the great sunshine. Hana was not able to make it for the trip but she made sure we were well taken care of by her husband George. George is a super cool driver... We managed to get to Cesky Krumlov in 2 hours! George was also very attentive to my 74-year-old mum and warned us in advance of any steep climbs so that my mum can rest in one spot and wait for us to return. Overall it was a really awesome trip. Thanks once again to Hana and George!"

local Hana

Review about Hana

"Hana is a total gem! I engaged Hana for a private tour coz my 74-year-old mum cannot walk that fast and has issues climbing steps. I was worried that the pace of the big tours will be very challenging for her. Withlocals provide private tours at super reasonable rates. I engaged Hana after reading all the reviews on her and am I glad that I did! Hana is super knowledgeable... My sister and I learned so much from her, not just on Prague's history but also on other aspects. She also gave very good recommendations of where to go and what to eat for our upcoming visits to Salzburg and Vienna. I truly appreciate that...if not for her recommendation, I would have missed visiting some of the noteworthy sites in Vienna! She was also very attentive to my mum and she looked out for our comfort. And did I mention that she takes great pictures? Thank you, Hana and George, for making this trip really memorable for us! Truly appreciate all that you have done for us! "

Spectacular Experience in Prague

"Hana, loves Prague and teaching people about this wonderful city. Her exuberance was infectious and we had the most wonderful day. I highly recommend her and it feels like we met a new friend. Thank you most heartily Hana for the experience. "

guest Renata

Above and beyond

"Hana was informative, effusive, enthusiastic and passionate about the city and its history. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to the city."

guest Eric

Wonderful time in Prague

"Natalia is a wonderful guide. We had such an enjoyable time with her that the 5 hour tour seemed to end quickly. Thank you Natalia! "

local Natalia

Great tour guide!

"We had a great tour with Nathalia, she is very nice very patient. If you have anything you want to learn about she will adjust the tour. Recommend!"

guest Michael

Amazing experience!

"Tomas was great! He showed us around the city and shared a lot of historic facts, gave us tips about what pleases to go and eat like locals, definitely will try his food tour once I’m back to Prague."

local Tomáš

"Knowledge of history was excellent. Willingness to change day of tour due to rain was much appreciated. Her flexibility with the tour was also appreciated due to sites we had already seen on our own. Very easy to understand ans spend time with!"

guest Don

The perfect first day, with Hana!

"Our experience with Hana was nothing short of incredible! With the “Withlocals Your Way! - 3 hour Prague City Tour”, she truly made our trip to Prague unforgettable. From the moment we met, Hana was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive to our interests, which made the tour feel completely personalized. We had a great mix of seeing the main attractions, while also exploring hidden gems away from the typical tourist crowds. Hana took us to unique neighborhoods and lookout points that offered stunning, panoramic views of the city that we would have never found on our own. She also answered all the questions our kids had for her, her knowledge and history of Prague was invaluable! And she ensured that the time was taken to have group photos taken at each and every memorable stop. Which is appreciated since our teens/young adult children would not have posed for that many pictures if it had not been for Hana to encourage them and take the pictures for us! Her recommendations for local hangout spots and restaurants were spot on, and we felt like we were getting an authentic Prague experience. Hana’s passion for her city was infectious, and she made every moment feel special. If you're looking for a tour that’s tailored to your preferences, full of insight, Hana is the perfect guide! Highly recommend this one-of-a-kind experience!"

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and it is known as the “City of a Hundred Spires” or the “Golden City.” This European capital is one of the most visited destinations by tourists in the entire world and not only because of its beauty, but because it is practically a museum where tourists can walk through its neighborhoods and witness Prague’s historic, architectural and cultural legacy. Few cities in Europe can compete with all Prague has to offer, culturally and in terms of its many monuments. Prague’s many squares and corners all have a rich story to tell, full of interesting local history that will bring your holiday to life and ensure you a visit that you will remember for a lifetime. 

When it comes time to plan out what to see in a city that is this packed with amazing monuments, it’s more important than ever to have some criteria based on how much time you’ll have to explore, this way you get to see all those must-see places on your list without missing anything too important. If you end up doing a free tour in Prague (in the morning, afternoon, or evening) with a local guide, you will have the opportunity to see the places that are most significant or emblematic, places like Prague Castle, Charles’ Bridge, the Cathedral, the Old Town Square, Wenceslao Square, the Dancing House, the Prague Astronomical Clock, The Jewish Neighborhood, the Spanish Synagogue, or the John Lennon Wall.

15 Best Day Trips from Prague

The capital of the Czech Republic, Prague , is an incredible city to explore.

A city popular with the European mini-breaker, travellers seldom explore more of this versatile and vibrant country.

Within a day trip from Prague you can explore castles, charming historic cities and more.

Being at the heart of Eastern Europe, Prague provides the perfect base for travellers who want to cross borders and take a peak at Switzerland and even Austria.

Once you have crossed Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Mala Strana off you can escape the city and broaden your experience of the Czech Republic.

Let’s explore the best day trips from Prague .

1. Kutna Hora

Kutná Hora's Bone Church

Kutna Hora is one of the most popular tourist hotspots in the Czech Republic and it really is extraordinary.

Kutna Hora itself is a collection of very interesting historic buildings but it is the Chapel of Bones that causes the most amount of intrigue for visitors.

Also known as the Sedlec Ossuary the Chapel of Bones houses the skeletal remains of 40,000 to 70,000 people.

The bones are used as ornate decoration within the chapel.

Not for the faint hearted the Sedlec Ossuary is one of the most fascinating chapels in all the world.

When in Kutna Hora ensure to make time to visit Hrádek Castle and Sankturin House too.

2. Terezín Concentration Camp

Terezín Concentration Camp

Although harrowing and deeply upsetting for many a day trip to Terezín Concentration Camp is humbling and insightful.

The Terezín Concentration Camp was used during the Nazi regime to house Jews before they were forced onto trains and transported to Auschwitz.

The Terezín Concentration Camp tells a story of life and death.

Those who were imprisoned here found innovative ways to keep their culture alive amidst the trauma.

Terezín Concentration Camp is best understood when experienced with the assistance of a tour guide who can convey the story of this dreadful place in a respectful and informative way.

3. Český Krumlov

Cesky Krumlov

Magical and magnificent Český Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that could easily provide the setting for a fairytale.

Situated in South Bohemia, Český Krumlov lies either side of the Vltava River and the focal point is Český Krumlov Castle.

Originally built in the 13th-Century the castle features influences from Gothic, Renaissance and baroque designers.

The gardens span and impressive 11-hectares and are immaculately kept.

Art lovers should find time to visit the Egon Schiele Art Centrum which houses contemporary pieces of art in a historic building.

4. Karlovy Vary

Karlovy Vary

Quintessentially Czech Karlovy Vary is a popular spa town that lies 126 km from Prague city centre.

With a wealth of Bohemian history and culture can be discovered here; starting with the Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral.

With buildings that date back to the 14th-Century there many architectural gems to enjoy in Karlovy Vary.

There are a number of amazing natural spas to explore, so remember to bring your swimming gear.

Karlovy Vary is home to the greatest number curative hot springs in the world.

5. České Budějovice

České Budějovice

České Budějovice is another of the Czech Republic’s cultural gems.

The largest city in South Bohemia there is a wealth of history to explore.

The Black Tower is the most iconic landmark in the city that was built in the 1500s.

České Budějovice is best known in the modern day at least, as the home of Budvar beer and it is possible to have a tour of the brewery.

There is no better way to taste the local brew than straight from the tap, is there not? Visitors can learn how Budvar beer is brewed and how it’s distinctive taste is created from those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of the beer.

6. National Park Bohemian Switzerland

National Park Bohemian Switzerland

We’ll confirm right now that National Park Bohemian Switzerland is not in Switzerland and is very much within the Czech Republic.

A trip to National Park Bohemian Switzerland involved jumping on the train to Decin and a short transfer to the park entrance.

During the day you can roam this picturesque national park and learn about the flora and fauna of Bohemia.

Hikes start at 1-2 hours and there are routes that take up to 7-hours to complete.

National Park Bohemian Switzerland is growing in popularity so now it the time to visit before everyone finds out about this little gem.

7. Aquapalace

Aquapalace Prague

Aquapalace is a fun waterpark for all the family.

With a complex of waterslides for the kids and a spa for the grown ups there is something to keep everyone entertained on a day trip from Prague.

Admittedly Aquapalace is best enjoyed in the summer months as a Czech winter is a force to be reckoned with.

Panic not, there is a vast indoor waterpark complex that is great fun when the grey winter descends.

If you need a taste of adrenaline when in Prague Aquapalace is the place to head.

Vienna

Vienna is the culture capital of Europe and can be easily accessed from Prague by train.

The Schönbruun Palace is a breathtaking baroque palace with opulent and historic decor that is simply exquisite.

St Stephen’s Cathedral is a spectacle and the highlight of a day trip to Vienna.

By no means the cheapest city day trip Vienna is worth every penny.

If you’re going to break the bank do it in Vienna.

There is a wonderful array of typically Austrian cafes and restaurants that provide a welcome respite from the cultural medley that lies waiting to be explored.

9. Karlštejn Castle

Karlštejn Castle

Karlštejn Castle is one of the best castles in the Czech Republic and is a truly magical specimen.

An incredibly popular tourist hotspot, don’t let the potential crowds put you off.

Built way back in 1348 Karlštejn Castle has stood the test of time and was the home of many an influential King.

Karlštejn Castle is surrounded by lush, dense forest and there area a number of wonderful hiking routes to explore should the buzzing crowds become too much.

Naturally this honeypot is most busy in the summer months.

It is possible to reach Karlštejn Castle by train, it’s just 40-minutes away from Prague city centre and so is one of the more easily accessible day trips from Prague.

10. Dresden

Dresden

Crossing over the border into Germany, Dresden offers visitors the opportunity to tick off another European country from their bucket list.

Dresden is best known as the home of the Frauenkirche whose grand dome can be seen for miles around.

Rebuilt after near demolition during WWII the Frauenkirche is an architectural gem.

Dresden Castle provides close competition, however, for being the most impressive building in the city.

The castle was too restored and is now a state art museum.

Art lovers must take the time to explore Zwinger for it houses true masterpieces such as Raphael’s “Sistine Madonna.”

11. Český ráj

Český ráj

If you’re seeking to explore the Czech Republic’s incredible landscapes and perhaps reconnect with nature then a visit to Český ráj is surely the order of the day.

This park land features enchanting rock formations and offers amazing panoramic views of the rugged landscape.

You can hike to your heart’s content from dusk until dawn and head back to Prague once the sun has set.

Make sure to hike out to the Prachov Rocks, arguably the Czech Republic’s best kept secret.

The rock towns of Český ráj are really interesting and are not to be missed either.

Český ráj gives you the opportunity to experience authentic Czech culture and rural life.

Pilsen, Czech Republic

Beer lovers listen up, no visit to the Czech Republic would be complete without visiting Pilsen, the birthplace of Pilsner lager.

The drive from Prague to Pilsen is a trip in its own right.

Watch as the city falls by the wayside and the road opens up into the picturesque Czech countryside.

The Pilsner Urquell Brewery is universally considered to be the factory where the best Pilsner in the world is produced and they have been pioneering their field for the last 150 years.

It is possible to team a visit to the Pilsner Urquell Brewery with a tour of the Ruckle Crystal factory but perhaps visit Ruckle first then Pilsner Urquell Brewery; their Pilsner is pretty potent.

13. Monínec

Monínec

Monínec is the much loved ski resort of the Czech people and is one of the country’s best kept secrets.

If you want to get your adrenaline thrill or merely want to feel the snow beneath your boots then a day trip to Monínec is just the ticket.

It is possible to hire your ski equipment from the town at the foot of the Monínec ski field for a very reasonable price.

There are a number of different runs at Monínec ranging from beginner to pro.

There is a run for everyone to enjoy and wonderful apres-ski refreshments waiting for you in the small town of Sedlec-Prčice.

14. Koněprusy Caves

Koněprusy Caves

The Koněprusy Caves can be found in the Protected Area of Český Kras in Bohemia.

Famed for being the longest cave system in Bohemia the Koněprusy Caves make for a great day trip from Prague.

During the visit travellers have the opportunity to inspect the Roses of Koněprusy which is an exhibit featuring the significant archaeological discoveries from the cave complex.

The caves are well lit and the walking routes are safe and secure.

It is possible to couple a visit to the Koněprusy Caves and Karlstejn Castle if you are short on time or want to diversify your visit to Bohemia.

15. Wrocław

Wrocław

Prague is a transport hub and as such many other European cities are very easily accessed, particularly by train.

Wroclaw is the largest city in the west of Poland and is home to just 638,000 people.

Wrocław Town Hall is one of the gems of the city and is rather photogenic.

Now an art museum Wrocław Town Hall is built in typical Gothic style.

Just as Prague, Wroclaw too has an astronomical clock that is pretty amazing to see.

The Panorama of Racławice is a must-visit for any budding historian.

The panoramic painting depicts Poland’s 1794 battle for independence.

15 Best Day Trips from Prague (According to a local!)

Adventurous Kate contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, I will earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks!

There are so many fantastic day trips from Prague! I’ve been living in Prague for several years now, and have been exploring the Czech Republic in depth — including many, many day trips from the city.

So many people visit the Czech Republic and don’t leave the Prague city limits — but there are so many beautiful places worth visiting.

Planning your trip to Prague last minute?

Prague is always a busy city for travel, even in the winter months! Book ahead to avoid disappointment.

🏰 Top Day Trips from Prague:

  • Český Krumlov Day Trip from Prague (GORGEOUS town you’ll love!)
  • Kutná Hora Day Trip from Prague (Bone church!)
  • Bohemian Switzerland Day Trip from Prague (Best nature day trip)

🛌  Top-Rated Hotels in Prague:

  • Cosmopolitan (super-nice five-star)
  • Hotel Salvator (nice mid-range hotel)
  • Hotel Adler (great budget option)

🚗 Renting a car on your Prague trip? Find deals on car rental rates here.

So what are the best places to visit on a day trip from Prague? My top recommendation is always the town of Kutná Hora, a pretty town home to an interesting church made of human bones, but on this list you have everything from natural wonders to interesting overlooked cities!

Keep in mind that for an optimal day trip, I recommend a journey of two hours each way or less. You can go a bit beyond — like to Brno, Český Krumlov, or Olomouc — but I also think you should consider staying overnight if it’s a longer journey.

Every trip on this list is either doable by train (often direct train), bus, or guided tour.

(Planning a trip to Prague? Be sure to check out my favorite unusual things to do in Prague , best Prague restaurants , and what NOT to do in Prague !)

This post was published in March 2024.

The bohemian city o

Kutná Hora is my personal pick for the best day trip from Prague. I always recommend it to Prague visitors because it’s a really pretty Bohemian town with a fascinating chapel built of bones; it’s a short, 50-minute journey from Prague; tickets are easy to buy; and tours are aplenty.

The bone church — its real name is Sedlec Ossuary — is the main sight worth visiting. It’s creepy and fascinating, while being an architectural marvel. (Know that photography is now allowed here.)

But beyond the ossuary, the town of Kutná Hora is so underrated! It’s painted in beautiful Bohemian pastel colors, with lovely churches, cute restaurants, and flowers blooming everywhere. The perfect easy getaway that lets you see Bohemian life beyond Prague.

Best things to do in Kutná Hora: Visit the bone church, of course! But also take time to stroll around the city center, and grab a nice Czech lunch (I enjoyed the food and setting at Staročeská restaurace V Ruthardce).

The Cathedral of St. Barbara is a spectacular gothic masterpiece, and don’t miss the Czech Museum of Silver and the Church of St. James. But Kutna Hora is a great place to get lost.

Should you book a tour or go independently? I think Kutná Hora is pretty easy to do on your own via public transit, but if you’d rather have the ease of going with a tour guide, you can do that!

Book a tour to Kutná Hora from Prague: This top-rated Kutná Hora tour from Prague includes round-trip transportation from your hotel in Prague, a tour of Kutná Hora town, and admission to Sedlec Ossuary.

How to get to Kutná Hora from Prague independently: Head to Prague’s main train station, Hlavní nádraží (the station is abbreviated as Praha hl. n). Use the machines to buy a ticket to Kutná Hora hl.n. The journey is 50 minutes direct; there are also trains that have a transfer in Kolín, which are closer to 90 minutes each way.

From the station it’s about a 15-minute walk to the bone church, then an additional 30-minute walk (or 15-minute walk-and-bus journey) to the city center.

If you have a rental car , Kutná Hora is about an hour’s drive from Prague.

The medieval city of Cesky Krumlov, sitting on a hill, lots of orange-roofed homes and church steeples, all surrounded by a calm river.

Český Krumlov

Český Krumlov is absolutely spectacular — a gorgeous medieval city in South Bohemia that looks plucked straight from a fairy tale, cliches be damned. The city is encircled by a river and topped with a castle overlooking the gorgeous town. Spending time in a small city like this makes a wonderful foil to the big city of Prague.

Honestly, I urge people to stay overnight in Český Krumlov , rather than do a day trip. Overnighting is so much better — the city is so peaceful and lovely when the day-trippers leave, plus you’ll have more time to explore, and it is a pretty far journey each way.

But I understand that many travelers only have time for a day trip. If that’s all you have, that’s fine. Start your day early, end it late, and you’ll have a great time. It’s one of the most popular day trips from Prague for a reason.

Best things to do in Český Krumlov: Head up to the castle for a postcard-perfect photo of the town (and the light is best in the late afternoon). Hire a raft and go paddling along the Vltava River. Explore all the artsy little shops, and have a meal at a restaurant on the banks of the river. And head to Apoteka, one of my favorite bars in the Czech Republic — they are a cocktail bar with a menu of quirky craft cocktails. Try the popcorn sour!

Should you book a tour or go independently? If you’re an experienced traveler, you’ll be comfortable getting yourself there by public transportation. But if you’d rather relax and have someone else handle all the logistics, taking the tour is a great idea, especially since it’s faster to drive to Krumlov than take public transportation.

Book a tour to Český Krumlov from Prague: This top-rated Český Krumlov tour from Prague includes round-trip transportation via shuttle, as well as a tour of Český Krumlov and some time to explore on your own.

How to get to Český Krumlov from Prague independently: You can either take the train or the bus, but I recommend the bus because it’s direct and the bus station is much closer to town. (A few trains to Český Krumlov are direct, but most require a change in Ceské Budjevice, and the train station is about a 20-minute walk from the city center.)

Buses to Český Krumlov leave from Na Knížecí, a bus station right by the Anděl metro stop in Prague. The bus takes just under three hours.

If you have a rental car , Český Krumlov is about two hours and 15 minutes from Prague.

Bohemian Switzerland

Despite its name, Bohemian Switzerland isn’t Switzerland at all — this is the name for a gorgeous natural region in the Czech Republic, right on the German border. (The German side is called Saxon Switzerland.)

If you’re looking to escape Prague for the day to experience nature, Bohemian Switzerland National Park is home to the most awe-inspiring mountain views in the Czech Republic. Come here for dense forests, deep gorges, and fresh mountain air.

The Tiské stěny — the Tisna Rocks — is a spectacular area with misty, high-piled rock formations and cliffs, and served as a mystical backdrop in The Chronicles of Narnia movies.

Bohemian Switzerland is a great spot to visit year-round, and tour operators adapt their trips to the current weather conditions. Make sure you wear good hiking shoes!

Best things to do in Bohemian Switzerland: Hike three miles to Pravčická Gate, the largest sandstone arch in Europe (pictured above). Take a boat through the gorges of the Kamenice River. Cross the German border to visit the Bastei Bridge and the spa town of Bad Schandau. And if you want to be independent, there are so many hiking trails! Czechs LOVE to hike.

Should you book a tour or go independently? I strongly recommend going with a tour, as it’s not easy to do by public transportation.

Book a tour to Bohemian Switzerland from Prague: This top-rated Bohemian Switzerland day trip from Prague includes round-trip transportation from Prague, and your choice of two options: you can either do a moderate hike to Pravčická Gate, or take a boat journey down the gorge. After you’ll have lunch and a visit to the German side of the park to visit Bastei Bridge and Tiské stěny, the Tisna Rocks, before heading home.

How to get to Bohemian Switzerland from Prague independently: Driving is your best option, as it’s much faster and easier. Bohemian Switzerland National Park is about one hour and 45 minutes from Prague. If not, take a train from Prague’s main train station, Praha hl.n., to the town of Děčín, and from there take a bus to the town of Hřensko. Get off at Hřensko–Pravčická brána or Mezní, and from here you have a three-mile hike to the gate.

Karlštejn Castle

If you’d like to see more of the Czech Republic besides Prague, but don’t want to go too far or commit too much time, Karlštejn is an excellent day trip from Prague. This castle dates back to the 14th century, when King Karel IV ruled Bohemia.

The castle is filled with works of art and history today, and the architecture is interesting. Tours of the castle leave continuously, and they always have tours in English.

Should you book a tour or go independently? Karlštejn Castle is easy to get to by public transportation, but tours often add on a visit to another site, like the Koneprusy Caves.

Book a tour to Karlstejn Castle from Prague: This group tour to Karlštejn Castle also includes a visit to the stalagmite- and stalactite-filled Koneprusy Caves, a visit to Big America canyon, and lunch at a traditional Czech tavern.

How to get to Karlštejn Castle from Prague independently: From the main train station in Prague, Praha hl.n., take the S7 train in the direction of Karlštejn. The journey is direct and takes about 41 minutes. This will drop you in the town of Karlštejn; from here you can walk up to the castle.

An overhead view of the colorful city of Plzen, with lots of buildings in warm shades of yellow, white, and pink.

Are you a huge fan of Czech beer? You’ll be delighted with Plzeň (Pilsen). This town is home to the Pilsner Urquell brewery, and many a Czech and tourist have made the pilgrimage out to try the world’s best beer at its source.

Not a beer drinker? You can still have fun in Plzeň if you want to, but you might have more fun in one of the aforementioned cities on this list. Even so, you can take in the best views of Plzeň from the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew — or head underground to explore the tunnels that have been beneath the city for centuries!

Should you book a tour or go independently? If you’re just visiting the brewery, just book yourself a train ticket — but if you want to add on glassblowing, I recommend booking a tour.

Book a tour to Plzeň from Prague: This group tour from Prague to Plzen includes transportation from Prague, admission to the Pilsner Urquell Brewery, lunch in a Czech pub, and a visit to the Bohemia glassworks in Nizbor, which is a nice cultural way to supplement your day trip from Prague!

How to get to Plzeň from Prague independently: From the main train station in Prague, Praha hl.n., book one of the many trains to Plzeň, and that journey takes about 90 minutes. Alternatively, you can book a Flixbus departing from the main bus station in Florenc, and that journey takes about 50 minutes.

The town of Karlovy Vary, with elegant multi-colored homes set against a walking street running along a river.

Karlovy Vary

Karlovy Vary is one of the most elegant towns in the Czech Republic, made famous due to the rich geothermal waters surrounding the city. Today Karlovy Vary is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe — and there are plenty of spas you can visit (my favorite is Hotel Thermal, with a warm outdoor pool you can enjoy year-round).

In addition to the thermal springs, Karlovy Vary has nice hiking trails surrounding the town, the Moser glass works, good restaurants and shopping, beautiful arcades where you can sample all the spa waters with your signature cup, and they even put on a world-renowned film festival in the summer!

My husband and I went to Karlovy Vary for a mini-moon right after we did our legal wedding in Prague. It couldn’t have been a better choice — though we had the benefit of enjoying a relaxed three-day visit rather than a quick day trip from Prague! I’d recommend staying overnight if you can, but a day trip is still worth it, too.

Should you book a tour or go independently? It’s easy enough to get to Karlovy Vary by public transit; if you’re doing it on your own, I recommend going early and coming back late, as there’s so much to do.

Book a tour to Karlovy Vary from Prague: This Karlovy Vary day trip from Prague includes transportation from Prague, a city tour, and four hours to explore on your own.

How to get to Karlovy Vary independently: There are both trains and buses running from Prague to Karlovy Vary — but there are a LOT more buses than trains. Both buses and trains take about two hours each way.

A bohemian church with an orange roof and a green dome, and in the foreground, colorful ribbons hanging on trees.

If you’re looking for a nice little town that is more popular with Czechs than international visitors, I’m a big fan of Tábor. This pretty little town in South Bohemia is home to about 34,000 inhabitants — just big enough for finding a bunch of things to do.

In Tábor, you can wander the colorful streets of the town center; climb the tower of Kotnov Castle, with the best view of town; and for a delicious and unusual meal in the Czech Republic, the restaurant Rafariz dishes up sumptuous Uyghur-style noodle dishes.

Another great option is to hike along the Lužnice River. There’s an easy trail along the river’s edge, and I really enjoyed this! Once you get to the town of Malšice, simply hop on the train back to Tábor.

Should you book a tour or go independently? Independently, as it’s easy on public transportation and this is not a popular tour destination.

How to get to Tábor independently: There are plenty of trains from Prague to Tábor. From Prague’s main train station, you can expect a journey of an hour and 15 minutes on the local train, making it an easy day trip.

A view looking over a river running through the woods, tiny wooden cabins on shore.

Posázavská Stezka

Czechs LOVE getting out of the city on the weekends to hit the hiking trails. And while there are so many hiking day trips from Prague you can do by train, one I love to recommend is the Posásavska Stezka, located south of the city.

This is a really nice hike along the river, with some moderate up-and-down segments. Altogether you should expect 2.5-3 hours of hiking — and make time for a beer at the pub outside Petrov u Prahi station! Czechs pretty much hike to the pub; it’s what they do!

If you do this hike on the earlier side, you’ll have plenty of time in the afternoon to spend in Prague. It’s more of a half day trip than a full day trip from Prague.

Should you book a tour or go independently? Go independently. I don’t know of any tours doing this route.

How to get to the Posásavska Stezka independently: Take the train from Prague’s main train station to Kamenny Přivoz station and take it back to Prague from Petrov u Prahi. Each way it’s just under 90 minutes.

A cemetery at Terezin in Czech Republic, with a Star of David on display.

Not all day trips from Prague are about fun and games — and if you’re looking to understand one of the darkest chapters in Czech history, I recommend a visit to Terezín, a former concentration camp. Terezín (Theresienstadt Ghetto) is a camp where Jews from all over Europe were sent between 1941 and 1945.

Terezín wasn’t explicitly an extermination camp — but it was designed to be a holding place before sending prisoners on to Auschwitz or Treblinka to be killed. Many died from illness, starvation, and poor living conditions. Around 150,000 Jews passed through here altogether; only 17,000 were saved after liberation.

Creepily, this camp also served as a propaganda piece and was filled with flowers and pretty buildings, serving as a backdrop about what a nice place it would be for Jews to go.

Should you book a tour or go independently? I strongly recommend booking a tour to Terezín from Prague. The sites are spread out all over the town, and it’s a much better experience if you have a local guide.

Book a tour to Terezín from Prague: This top-rated Terezín tour includes transportation from Prague (including optional hotel pickup) and a guided three-hour historic tour of Terezín. It’s a half-day tour, so you’ll have most of your afternoon back in Prague.

How to get to Terezín independently: To get to Terezín, head to Letňany station in Prague (not the main bus station) and get on Bus 413. Tell the driver you’re going to Terezín, pay for your ticket, and get off at the stop Terezín U Památniku, and the small fortress is a short walk from the bus stop. From there the other sites in town are up to a 15-minute walk away.

A gray town hall with spiky spires and pointy eaves on a town square in Liberec, Czech Republic.

One unusual day trip from Prague is the town of Liberec (LEE-ber-ets), a city close to the German and Polish borders. In Liberec you’ll find a pleasant small city with a wonderful collection of architecture, including an unusual Neo-Renaissance town hall!

The best part of visiting Liberec is simply exploring the streets. While it isn’t a tourism powerhouse like Český Krumlov or even Brno, I find wandering around to be a worthwhile activity here. Don’t miss the villas behind the town hall, and there are some nice cafes tucked into the colorful streets of the old town.

You could simply visit Liberec town — but for a treat, consider visiting Ještěd Tower, an unusual hotel and restaurant in a space ship-like shape, with windows overlooking the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. I loved visiting this place; the pumpkin soup was GREAT and it was a fun little excursion!

Should you book a tour or go independently? Definitely go independently; I don’t think any tours from Prague exist.

How to get to Liberec independently: To get to Liberec from Prague, head to Černý Most Station (the end of the B line) and take a bus to Liberec, which takes a little over an hour. If you want to get to Ještěd Tower, public transportation doesn’t go there — you’ll either need to drive from Prague or take a taxi from Liberec (about a 20-minute drive).

A big, ornate arcade in a small Czech town. It has unusual large glass windows on it.

Mariánské Lázně

If you like the idea of Karlovy Vary, but want to visit a spa town that’s a little more quiet, Mariánské Lázně makes a good choice for a (slightly far) day trip from Prague. Another of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Spa Town of Europe, Mariánské Lázně is a quiet, bucolic getaway where natural hot springs abound.

If you’re spending a day here, you should make a reservation at the spa at the Hotel Nové Lazné, which has a gorgeous, elegant, Roman-style bathing area with multiple pools, along with saunas, steam rooms, and cold plunges. You can book spa treatments, too.

That said, 2.5 hours each way is a bit long for a day trip, and you might get more out of your time if you overnight here (or visit Karlovy Vary, which is a bit closer).

Should you book a tour or go independently? Go independently. I don’t know of any tours that exist.

How to get to Mariánské Lázně from Prague independently: Take the train from Prague’s main train station to Mariánské Lázně. Trains run hourly, but every other hour it’s an indirect train that requires changing in Plzen. The journey is about 2.5 hours. From the station I suggest hopping on the bus to the city center, as it’s a 30-minute uphill walk otherwise.

A Christmas market in Dresden, Germany, with a big tree and a tall wooden tower of spinning Christmas characters.

Dresden, Germany

Are you visiting Prague for Christmas market season? I absolutely recommend taking a day trip to Dresden, Germany! (Just make sure that the markets are actually on — Christmas market season in Germany is shorter than Prague’s, usually running from December 1-23.)

Dresden’s Striezelmarkt is one of the best in Germany, with several markets stretching across different neighborhoods. Come here for gluhwein, lebkuchen, and all kinds of tasty goodies (and be sure to read my guide to planning a German Christmas Market trip !).

Is Dresden worth it if it’s not Christmas market season? Honestly, unless you have something specific you’ve wanted to visit in Dresden, I would choose somewhere else on this list. (I did really enjoy visiting the VW Golf factory, watching all the cars being manufactured!)

Finally, if you’re intent on visiting Germany on a day trip from Prague, Dresden is your best bet — it’s close by with tons of transportation options. Nuremberg and Berlin are too far.

Should you book a tour or go independently? Definitely go independently. Transportation couldn’t be easier.

How to get to Dresden independently: You can either go by train or bus, and both ways take about two hours and 15 minutes, though buses are cheaper. You can take a train direct from Prague’s main train station or a bus from Prague’s main bus station in Florenc.

An view from above of the city of Brno, with lots of peach and white buildings and church towers poking up.

The second-largest city in the Czech Republic is often overlooked by travelers — but Brno (BUR-no) has so much to offer. The largest city in the Moravia region of the eastern Czech Republic, Brno feels like a small, slightly shabbier version of Prague — but cheaper and a lot of fun, too!

My absolute favorite thing to do in Brno is visit Villa Tugendaht, a REALLY cool modern residence. If you’re interested in design or architecture in the least, you will love it! You should book tickets ahead .

Other than that, be sure to check out the Brno Ossuary (bone church!), see the “Brno Dragon” in the town hall (it’s a crocodile!), and hit up the cool restaurants and bars in Brno (including my favorite, “The Bar that Doesn’t Exist,” an internationally lauded cocktail bar).

Honestly, I think that Brno is better as an overnight destination. And if you’re traveling from Prague to Vienna or vice versa, it’s a nice place to stop in between.

Should you book a tour or go independently? Go independently. Transportation is very easy.

How to get to Brno independently: From Prague’s main train station, there are constant trains to Brno. Trains take about 2.5 hours. You can also find many buses along this route that take about the same amount of time.

Bright pink and yellow buildings of Olomouc set against a bright blue sky.

Olomouc (o-lo-MOATS) is one of my favorite places in the Czech Republic, and you never see it mentioned on “best of” lists! Honestly, there aren’t a ton of things to do, but I think the city has a really great vibe and some nice restaurants and cafes.

The city’s main square is home to a Holy Trinity Column that itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Additionally, there are lots of fountains, an astronomical clock similar to Prague’s, lots of churches and parks, and a few museums.

Olomouc also makes their own signature cheese. Full disclosure — I love cheese, but this cheese is not my favorite, so I recommend trying a small plate, not ordering it for your main meal!

Olomouc isn’t the kind of city you visit with a checklist — it’s more of a place to soak up the vibe. And considering that it takes 2-2.5 hours to get here, this is also a place that you might prefer staying overnight.

Should you book a tour or go independently? Go independently. Transportation is easy and this isn’t a popular tour destination.

How to get to Olomouc independently: From Prague’s main train station, there are constant trains to Olomouc. If you want a treat, the Leo Express trains run this route and have a NICE business class. You can book those at leoexpress.com . Trains take 2-2.5 hours each way. There are also plenty of buses along this route.

A view from above of the gray palaces and buildings of Salzburg, Austria, a river running through the middle.

Too Far for a Day Trip from Prague

I know that it’s so tempting to fit in as many day trips as possible — but I encourage you not to day trip to the following destinations within Central Europe. I’d recommend spending two nights in them, minimum, or perhaps a single night if you don’t mind the long journey.

Bratislava, Slovakia — 4:15 by train.

Berlin, Germany — 4:30 by train.

Vienna, Austria — 4:30 by train.

Nuremberg, Germany — 4:45 by bus.

Munich, Germany — 4:45 by bus.

Wroclaw, Poland — 4:45 by bus.

Salzburg, Austria — 5:30 by bus.

Budapest, Hungary — 6:45 by train.
