With <\/span><b>12 UNESCO World Heritage sites<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and hundreds of small towns and hill-top castles, the Czech Republic is the epitome of a medieval fairytale country. Take a look at these incredible things to do in Prague and the country\u2019s smaller towns too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Things to do in Prague<\/h2>\n<h3>Tour Prague Castle<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built in the 9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world. Overlooking the Vltava River, Prague Castle is an impressive piece of architecture. It is an important symbol of the Czech state. During your visit, you\u2019ll find an extensive <\/span><b>collection of palaces and ecclesiastical buildings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of various architectural styles at this phenomenal castle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Watch the Astronomical Clock<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An important thing to do in Prague is to go and watch the <\/span><b>oldest operating astronomical clock<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This medieval tower clock is located at the southern side of the Old Town Hall Tower. When the clock strikes the hour (from 09:00 to 23:00) you will see a procession of the Twelve Apostles in motion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78239\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wingsugar.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in prague\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wingsugar\/?hl=en\">@wingsugar<\/a> via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Walk across Charles Bridge<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charles Bridge is the stone Gothic bridge that connects the Old Town and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mal\u00e1 Strana (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lesser Town). Commissioned by the Czech king and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, building began in 1937. For an enjoyable and equally memorable thing to do in Prague, go for a scenic-rich walk across Charles Bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Peruse the Dripstone Wall<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the Wallenstein Palace within the garden walls and you\u2019ll see an epic piece of sculpture, the dripstone wall. You can enjoy the peacefulness and absence of crowds here. Take in the sights and sounds of such ducks and peacocks, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the fish pond. But the winning feature has to be the dripstone wall which was supposed to represent artificial stalactites found in limestone caves. The peculiar shapes will surely intrigue you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Take a selfie at the John Lennon Wall<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This interesting wall is the perfect spot in the city to capture and let others know about one of the best things to do in Prague. The John Lennon Wall is filled with <\/span><b>impeccable graffiti and lyrics from Beatles\u2019 songs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Nineteen-eighty saw the start of John Lennon images appearing after his assassination. The wall serves as a way for citizens to express their grievances. So, every time you visit Prague, the content on the wall will have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78240\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/marius_domingo_.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in prague\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marius_domingo_\/\">@marius_domingo_<\/a> via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Stroll through the Old Jewish Cemetery<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A visit to a cemetery might not be top of your list of things to do in Prague but believe it or not, the Old Jewish Cemetery is a fascinating space filled with many historical stories. Wander through the twisting valleys and admire tombstones encroached by spectacular creeping vines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Take in the sunset at Riegrovy Sady<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head to Riegrovy Sady (Rieger Gardens) as this English-style public garden is ideal for strolls or a good run. From Riegrovy Sady, on a hill, you\u2019ll get to see beautiful views toward Prague Castle. This lush garden is home to a massive beer garden. It is the perfect venue to enjoy a cold beer during spring and summer afternoons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Things to do in the Czech Republic&#8217;s smaller towns<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78241\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78241\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/prathamdalvi-kutna-hora.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in prague\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of @prathamdalvi via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Discover the sights of Gothic, Kutna Hora<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kutnahora.cz\/index.php?lns=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kutna Hora<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a picturesque town which is home to one of the <\/span><b>best examples of Gothic Architecture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the world &#8211; the Saint Barbara Cathedral.
