Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Prague?
Prague Castle complex & St Vitus — entry is ticketed per circuit; the B circuit is the standard. Start there, then build the itinerary around it.
Do I need to book Prague attractions in advance?
The headline attractions reward advance booking — timed-entry systems and quota tickets mean walk-up availability is worst exactly when you want to visit. Everything on this page links to providers showing live availability.
How many days do you need in Prague?
Three to four days covers the shortlist above at a humane pace for a first visit; add days for the day-trip formats rather than compressing the city itself.
Is a city pass worth it in Prague?
Run the arithmetic honestly: a pass wins when you would genuinely visit three-plus ticketed attractions in its window. Our provider links show pass options side by side with single tickets — compare before committing.
