17 Tips for a Romantic Weekend in Prague

Surprise your partner with an original date full of unforgettable moments. Think luxury hotel, relaxing wellness, the charm of centuries-old lanes, a boat ride on the Vltava, an afternoon picnic in Prague’s beautiful parks, a visit to farmers’ markets, or even a boutique cinema with a private bar. Welcome to romantic Prague—your perfect weekend for two awaits.

1. Choose the right hotel

Planning to surprise your better half with a romantic getaway to Prague? Picking the right hotel is key to a flawless experience. Although Prague is compact and many sights are walkable, your hotel doesn’t have to be right in the centre. What matters more is a peaceful setting away from the city buzz. Luxurious accommodation, spacious bathrooms and a wellness centre will take care of maximum comfort. Add in the option to play golf at one of the oldest golf clubs in the Czech Republic and you have the ideal twist for a romance-filled weekend.

Hotel Golf is made for this kind of stay. It sits in a quiet part of Prague yet offers easy access to the main sights. Modern, comfortable rooms and a cosy wellness centre with massages will make you feel pampered. The hotel restaurant serves Czech and international cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere.

For couples, there’s also a special romantic package including accommodation, access to the wellness, a generous buffet breakfast and the option to play golf. Whether you crave relaxation or fun activities, Hotel Golf gives you the perfect base for an unforgettable romantic weekend.

2. Start with an excellent breakfast

To make the most of your mornings, book accommodation with breakfast. We serve a delicious buffet every day with a rich selection of hot and cold dishes—think scrambled eggs, bacon, homemade desserts and excellent cheeses. Finish with great coffee and fresh juice, then set off to discover Prague’s beauty.

3. Wander the Old Town

Lose yourselves in the narrow lanes of the Old Town and soak up the local vibe. Walk up to Petřín Hill or climb the steps of a historic tower—try the Powder Tower or the medieval bridge towers on Charles Bridge—for Prague “at your feet.” Continue across Malá Strana, stroll up Nerudova Street and head towards Prague Castle. You’ll fall in love with the views. Don’t miss the charming Nový Svět quarter, where time seems to stand still.

4. Plan a picnic in Prague’s parks and gardens

Prague is full of beautiful green spaces. Highlights include Havlíčkovy sady, Stromovka and the Vrtba Garden. Pack a picnic blanket, some bites, a bottle of Prosecco and enjoy a light lunch amidst nature. In the parks, squirrels may keep you company; in palace gardens, roaming violinists and singers add to the mood.

5. Rent a pedal boat or rowboat

Head to the Náplavka riverfront, where numerous rentals offer pedal boats and rowboats. The Vltava gives you a unique perspective on the city. After 8 p.m. at Slovanka, they’ll even lend you a lantern with your boat. Or try a small motorboat—it’s very easy to handle. You can also rent a twin-pontoon raft with a blue-and-white canopy, table, loungers, grill and anchor. Perfect for a romantic dinner, right?

6. Go to the cinema—drink in hand

In the evening, skip the standard multiplexes in shopping centres. A romantic weekend calls for something special. Try Prague’s summer cinemas, like the ones in Karlín or Žluté lázně. Screenings are open-air and the atmosphere is truly unique.

If the weather turns, no problem—the show simply moves indoors. You can still enjoy the film in comfort with a glass of wine or a stylish cocktail.

7. Chase the sunset and stroll through Prague by night

Prague nights have a magic all their own. Walk up to Petřín for a panorama of rooftops glowing orange, red and grey at sunset. When the first stars appear, wander back to your hotel through the winding lanes of old Prague. Not tired yet? Savour the city late at night—or very early in the morning. At those times, the streets are almost empty, shops are closed and you’ll notice details you miss during the day.

8. Discover Czech theatres and concert halls

Prague isn’t only about monuments and nature; it boasts a vibrant cultural life. Take your loved one to a romantic evening at one of the city’s theatres or to a classical music concert. Venues like the State Opera, the National Theatre or the Rudolfinum offer superb cultural experiences, wrapped in elegance and stunning architecture—memories that last.

TIP: How about a musical? Prague’s theatres stage unforgettable productions that whisk you into captivating stories and gorgeous music.

9. Seek out the best viewpoints

Prague abounds in towers and viewpoints with breathtaking panoramas. Beyond the Petřín Lookout Tower and the bridge towers on Charles Bridge, visit Vyšehrad for sweeping views of the Vltava and the historic centre. Another less-known but equally impressive spot is Riegrovy sady, perfect for watching the sunset over Prague Castle.

10. Step into Prague’s vineyards

Love wine? Don’t miss a visit to one of Prague’s vineyards. St. Clare’s Vineyard in the Troja district offers wonderful city views and tastings of local wines. A romantic picnic among the vines is ideal for anyone who loves nature and a good glass.

TIP: In autumn, Prague hosts wine harvest festivals where you can try fresh “burčák” (young wine) and other local treats.

11. Savour romantic cafés and patisseries

Prague is dotted with cosy cafés, tearooms and patisseries where you can enjoy coffee and something sweet. Favourites include Café Slavia in the centre with a beautiful view of the Vltava and the National Theatre, or Café Louvre, once frequented by Franz Kafka. A stroll through Vinohrady will lead you to charming spots like Café Letka or the stylish IF Café – Werich’s Villa.

If you’re after something special, try Cukrárna Myšák in the New Town for traditional Czech desserts served in First-Republic style.

12. Indulge in a romantic wellness

After a full day of walking and exploring, you deserve a rest at Hotel Golf’s spa & wellness centre. Treat yourselves to a private wellness experience with a wide range of Thai and relaxation massages—perfect for easing muscular and joint tension. A Thai massage helps relieve pain and stress so you feel reborn.

You can also enjoy a Swedish massage or aromatherapy massage with essential oils for deeper relaxation. For stress and pain relief, we recommend a hot stone massage. To unwind completely after a demanding day, try a full-body water massage—an effective way to relax body and mind. Our hydro-massage bath and infrared sauna offer even more ways to enjoy peaceful moments together.

13. Candlelit dinner on the river

For an unforgettable evening, invite your partner to a romantic dinner aboard a boat cruising the Vltava. Several Prague companies offer evening cruises with candlelit dining, where you can enjoy excellent food and unique views of illuminated landmarks like Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Dancing House.

14. Cross Charles Bridge at sunrise

Charles Bridge is one of Prague’s most popular sights, but there’s a way to experience it without the crowds: go early, at sunrise, when the bridge is empty and the mood is entirely different. The soft morning light, the hush over the city and mist over the Vltava create a magical moment just for the two of you.

TIP: After your morning walk, pop into one of the early-opening cafés in Malá Strana for a quiet breakfast with views of the historic centre.

15. Farmers’ markets

No romantic weekend in Prague is complete without a visit to the city’s farmers’ markets, which lend Prague its special atmosphere. Head to the popular markets on Náplavka for fresh local produce, or to Old Town Square where seasonal markets throughout the year offer traditional foods, artisan goods and charming souvenirs.

16. Christmas markets

If your romantic weekend falls in winter, Prague’s Christmas markets are a must. The most famous are on Old Town Square, where a beautifully lit Christmas tree, stalls with traditional crafts and the aroma of mulled wine, “trdelník” and roasted chestnuts create pure enchantment. You’ll also find festive markets on Wenceslas Square and in smaller neighbourhoods like Náměstí Míru or even Prague Castle. During Christmas, Prague turns into a fairy-tale city of lights—perfect for romantic strolls under twinkling garlands.

17. Restaurants

Prague offers a wide range of fine restaurants for a special culinary experience. If you’re planning a romantic dinner, here are some of the best—combining superb cuisine with beautiful views or intimate ambience:

• Terasa U Zlaté studně sits just below Prague Castle, with a gorgeous city view and a menu inspired by Czech and international flavours—ideal at sunset.

• Kampa Park, right by the Vltava near Charles Bridge, pairs a romantic riverside setting with creative cuisine and fresh seafood—popular for date nights.
