Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Every year, around 8 million tourists visit. You’ll find countless sights and hidden gems here. We’ll guide you along routes you shouldn’t miss—from historic palaces and lovely parks to picturesque lanes and secret corners.

The Royal Route

Want to see Prague’s most important sights in a single trip? Mysterious Gothic, Baroque gems, touches of modern architecture, and the majestic Prague Castle? Follow the Royal Route—the historic procession taken by future Czech kings on their coronation day.

It begins at the Powder Tower and winds through the city centre before climbing up to Hradčany and St. Vitus Cathedral. What will you see along the way?

• Municipal House (Obecní dům): The route starts here, once home to the Royal Court. Its Art Nouveau façade draws visitors from around the world.

• Powder Tower & Celetná Street: Don’t miss the House at the Black Madonna, a masterpiece of Czech Cubism with a statue of the Black Madonna.

• Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock: At the Old Town Hall, the rector of Charles University and the city’s mayor once pledged loyalty to the future monarch.

• Malé náměstí & Karlova Street: The dominant landmark is the former Jesuit college, the Clementinum.

• Charles Bridge: The route continues over the city’s most famous bridge, lined with imposing (mostly Baroque) statues and crowned by bridge towers. Street artists and souvenir vendors are part of its timeless atmosphere.

• Malostranské Square: The royal procession passed through here, greeted by the bells of St. Nicholas Church—one of the most beautiful Baroque churches north of the Alps, built by three generations of renowned architects, the Dientzenhofers and Anselmo Lurago.

• Prague Castle: From Malostranské Square, continue up Nerudova Street to Prague Castle. The route ends at Matthias Gate. Prague Castle needs no introduction—it’s the largest castle complex in the world. Don’t forget the gardens and Queen Anne’s Summer Palace.

If you’d like to extend your walk, follow the route taken by riders and carriages. They couldn’t use the Town Hall Steps (Radnické schody), so they detoured via Pohořelec and Loretánské Square. Prague Loreto is a popular pilgrimage site with a charming carillon and the Holy House. Also worth a look is the adjacent Capuchin monastery, which occasionally opens to the public.

Kampa

Romantic Kampa is one of Prague’s loveliest places—an island between the Vltava and one of its canals. Stroll through greenery, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy excellent food in local restaurants.

The views of Charles Bridge and the historic waterfront make Kampa unique and well worth experiencing. It’s an easy trip from Hotel Golf—if you’re staying with us, do put it on your list.

Vyšehrad & the Výtoň Riverbank

Vyšehrad is rich in history and offers beautiful views of Prague. Visit Slavín, the Romanesque basilica, the Gothic stronghold, and relaxing parks. Walk the ramparts and discover the stories of this historic site—Vyšehrad is absolutely worth a visit!

Stromovka & the Slalom Course in Troja

Stromovka is ideal for nature lovers, sport, and relaxation. In this vast park you can walk through woodland, run, cycle, or simply unwind; children will love the playgrounds.

Follow the Vltava on foot to Troja and rest by the river—or watch athletes tackle the whitewater slalom course. Looking for a dog-friendly outing? This area is a great choice.

Vítkov & Žižkov

Žižkov is one of Prague’s liveliest districts, full of bars, cafés, and restaurants. Here you’ll also find Vítkov, the city’s highest ridge, crowned by the monument to national hero Jan Žižka. Architecture fans will appreciate the protected Functionalist buildings and the iconic Žižkov Television Tower.
