2 Days In Prague | 40+ Best Things To Do In Prague

2 Days In Prague

Have you ever been invited to those parties that a friend of a friend hosts? Everybody at the party sort of indirectly knows each other – but is only truly linked to each other by the party’s host. For me, events like this are where my 2 days in Prague get brought up the most, and it usually goes like this:

While at a travel event helping myself to some pretentious cheese and crackers, an individual will recognize me, approach me and say:
“Hey, you’re the guy with the travel blog, right?”
Me: “Yes, that’s me.”
Individual: “I think I’ve seen your videos on Youtube; they are great!”
Me: “Thanks. Did you subscribe to the channel?”
Individual: “Oh, right, I’ve been meaning to; I’ve just been busy.”
Awkward silence.

Then comes the million-dollar question.
Individual: “So you travelled a lot; what’s your favourite place?
My inside voice: “Really? So I need to choose one single place? I’ve been to several cities and towns, in several countries over a few continents and with so many experiences and stories and adventures. To continue this pointless conversation, I need to narrow everything down to one city?!?!”
Me: “I don’t have one.”
Individual: “Well, if I’m travelling to Europe for the first time, what city would you recommend for my wife and me?
Me: “Two days in Prague, Czech Republic.”
Individual: “Prague, eh, why?”
Me: “Prague is a walkable city. From the Jewish Quarter to the Old Town to the castle, making a Prague 2 day itinerary less rushed and more relaxed. The Czech Republic produces some of the greatest beer you will ever drink, and it’s not expensive. Prague, in general, is not too expensive. Overflowing with charm, you can find old towns, churches, bridges, alleyways, and hipster cafes – there’s a picture-perfect moment around every corner. Praised as the “heart of Europe,” many contend that Prague is even more beautiful than Paris, but hell, if you go there solely for the beer, you’ll be happy.”
My inside voice: “Now run along and let me enjoy my cheese and crackers.”

Introduction to the City of Prague

  • The earliest known settlers in the area that became Prague were the Celts. The city was founded in 885 by Prince Bořivoj of the Premyslid Dynasty and was given the name Praha, derived from the Czech word for ‘Threshold’.
  • Prague has been a major settlement since its founding in the 9th century in the country’s northwest region. It served as the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
  • Prague was an important political and cultural center in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the Middle Ages. In 1257, King Ottokar II built the first stone bridge over the Vltava River, which linked Prague to the royal palace and Prague Castle.
  • In 1338, Charles IV became the first Holy Roman Emperor to rule Prague, and he founded Charles University, making it the oldest university in Central Europe.
  • In 1918, Czechoslovakia became an independent country and Prague was made the capital. During World War II, Prague was occupied by the Nazis.
  • In November 1989, Czechoslovakia underwent the Velvet Revolution, transitioning to liberal democracy. This sparked national aspirations among Slovaks, leading to the Hyphen War. Eventually, on January 1, 1993, the country peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
  • In modern times, Prague has been an important cultural and economic center of central Europe, with a growing reputation as one of Europe’s most beautiful and livable cities.

Getting To Prague

Plane – What is the best way to get from Prague airport to City Centre?

The quickest and cheapest way to get from Prague airport to the City Centre is by using public transport. You can find the bus stop right in front of Terminal 2. Purchase a 90min ticket (32CZK) to take the bus 119 to the Nadrazi Veleslavin stop and then use the same ticket for the metro. Alternatively, if you don’t want to take public transport, Uber is quite popular in the Czech Republic and costs around 15 EUR, or you can book an airport transfer for a hassle-free journey.

Bus and Train

Arriving in Prague by bus or train? Hlavní nádrazí bus and train terminal is your go-to destination. Once you get there, you can transfer onto Prague metro’s Line C (red line) and get to your destination. You can also walk around the city’s old town area or take the metro or tram. You can also download a ride-sharing app like Bolt, a more popular choice than Uber.

Getting Around Prague + Tips

Exploring Prague is easy, with numerous options to choose from. If you need a convenient ride from the airport to your hotel, try the affordable Shared Shuttle Transfers.

Walking around the city centre is the best way to take in the sights. Charles Bridge is just one of the many tourist attractions within easy reach. Buses and trams are a great alternative if you stay on the city’s outskirts. The Hop-on, Hop-off Sightseeing Bus is always another great way to get around the city! Be wary of the taxis, though.

Taxis

The basic charge is 60 Czech crowns, approximately 2.40 euros, and the cost per kilometre is 36 Czech crowns or around 1.45 euros.

It is recommended that tourists avoid taking a taxi near tourist points. The risk of being overcharged is so high that even Prague locals do not take taxis from these locations. It is best to take advantage of the comprehensive public transport system instead.

You can book a taxi in several ways: by phone, by app or at a taxi stand. The taxi sign on top of the vehicle will be illuminated when it is available.

2 Days In Prague (Day 1) – The Ultimate Prague Itinerary

Let us begin our journey east of the Vltava River, where we’ll explore a unique blend of modern art and stunning Art Nouveau houses. This is what comes to mind when we think of Europe – its medieval alleyways and quaint cobblestone streets full of vibrant, old buildings. A stroll in the Old Town – a tourist haven – will be a pleasurable experience.

Old Town | Stare Město 

The Old Town is a historical district in Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the most visited places in Prague, full of historic architecture, many shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, as well as several tourist attractions.

The Old Town Alleys

Prague’s medieval settlement, or Staré Město Pražské, was founded in the 9th century and exploring the Old Town district on foot is the best way to experience it and find some hidden artwork and gems. Its cobblestone streets, old houses, and grand medieval towers are mixed with modern art pieces, giving it that “heart of Europe, more beautiful than Paris” vibe that we Westerners feel the need to debate.

Either way, Prague is a classic example of Central European charm. Check out the hanging Freud, Frank Kafka’s moving head, Umbrella Hanging Man, Municipal House, and Powder Tower.

For a unique experience, take a Prague Ghost Tour to explore the less popular places, hear stories of dark legends, and even visit spots related to Prague’s eerie past.

Jewish Quarter (Josefov) 

The Jewish Quarter must be included when discussing what to do in Prague. Situated between Old Town Square and the Vltava River, it has a history dating back to the 13th century when Jews were prohibited from living in separate dwellings and instead had to settle in this area of Prague, including those expelled from Germany, Austria, Moravia, and Spain.

This overcrowding led to numerous structural changes that the inhabitants had to endure.

Spanish Synagogue

Constructed in the late 19th century, the Spanish Synagogue in Prague has become essential to the city’s history. Serving as the only surviving Moorish Revival synagogue in central Europe, the synagogue was built to accommodate the influx of Spanish Jews that sought refuge in Prague during the 1880s.

Not only a cultural icon, the building was also used by Nazi forces as a storage unit for Jewish artifacts, leaving it near destruction. Fortunately, the synagogue was eventually restored and is now a protected site.

Quick Tips For Your 2 Days In Prague

Best Time To Visit Prague

The best time to visit Prague is in the spring or autumn when the weather and temperatures are milder. The city is a great destination year-round, with Christmas and Easter being especially festive times to travel.

Must Eats In Prague

Beer

If your list of Prague things to do does not include beer…Rewrite your list. The best food in Prague is beer.

Prague Beer Museum
This pub has 30 beers at the tap and a menu of Czech bar snacks. With so many choices for beer in one of the cities world renowned for making amazing beer, it’s tough. In an attempt to stay sober during my time in Prague sampled a bunch but narrowed it down to 3 that I enjoyed.

  1. Velen – “A perfectly fermented golden amber English beer with a medium-sized creamy head, bouquet of malt, hops, and grass, Velen has a full caramel taste that is pleasantly sweet.”
  2. Gambrinus –  The Nectar of Legends. No, seriously, named after Gambrinus, the legendary king of Flanders known for his mythical brewing abilities. Whaaaa.
  3. Staropramen –  Founded in 1869, the Staropramen Brewery is the second-largest brewery in the Czech Republic.

Is beer cheaper than water in Prague? Yes, Yes, it is 😉

Trdelnik

Trdelník is believed to have originated in the mid-19th century as a Slovak dish. In the 20th century, it became more widely known as a Moravian dish. The word trdelník is of Czech-Slovak origin; its root trdlo is derived from the wooden tool the cake ingredients are wrapped around to create its hollow shape, and can also refer to “simpleton” in English.

Prague cafes popularized the variation of trdelník with an ice cream filling.

Czech Beef Goulash | Hovězí Guláš

In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Goulash (in Czech, “hovězí guláš s knedlíkem” and in Slovak, “hovädzí guláš s knedľou”) is typically made with beef, although pork varieties exist. It is usually served with boiled or steamed bread dumplings, and in Slovakia is typically garnished with slices of fresh onion and accompanied by beer.

Beer can also be added to the stew in the process of cooking. Seasonal varieties of goulash include venison or wild boar goulashes, and a popular variant is segedínský guláš (Székelygulyás), with sauerkraut.
