Prague is one of the world's most romantic honeymoon destinations — and for good reason. Prague is one of Europe's best-preserved historic cities — a Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau masterpiece that survived the 20th century's destruction almost intact. The result is an impossibly beautiful city that feels more like a fairy tale than a working European capital.
Charles Bridge at dawn — before the crowds, in the mist, with Prague Castle above you — is one of Europe's great private moments.
As a mid-range destination, Prague offers honeymooners exactly what the first trip of your marriage deserves: Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, Old Town, Czech beer, Baroque architecture.

7 Nights in Prague & Bohemia — The City of Spires
The most perfectly preserved medieval city in Europe, Bohemian crystal and absinthe, day trips to Bohemian Switzerland and Český Krumlov
Prague is one of Europe's most extraordinary cities — and the most overlooked of the major European capitals by American honeymoon couples who default to Paris or Rome. The city center survived World War II almost entirely intact, preserving a complete ensemble of Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture that spans 1,000 years without interruption. The Charles Bridge at dawn (before the crowds) is one of Europe's great experiences; the Old Town Square with its medieval astronomical clock is one of the continent's finest public spaces; and Prague Castle — one of the largest castle complexes in the world — dominates the left bank of the Vltava River from a clifftop position that is genuinely fairy-tale. The beer is extraordinary (it's the country that invented Pilsner), the food has improved dramatically, and it remains considerably more affordable than comparable Western European capitals.
1Arrival & Charles Bridge at Dusk
Fly into Václav Havel Airport and transfer to your hotel in the Old Town or Malá Strana (Lesser Town). The first view of Prague from the Charles Bridge at dusk — the 30 Baroque saints lining the bridge's balustrades above the dark Vltava, Prague Castle illuminated on the hill above — is one of Europe's most romantic urban moments. Walk the bridge, then dinner in Malá Strana at one of the restaurants in the Baroque lanes below the castle.
- ✦ Charles Bridge at dusk — the saints and the castle
- ✦ First view of Prague Castle illuminated above the river
- ✦ Dinner in Malá Strana's Baroque lanes
2Prague Castle & Hradčany
Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in the world — 70,000 square meters of palaces, churches, galleries, and gardens on a limestone promontory above the Vltava. St. Vitus Cathedral inside the complex is one of Europe's great Gothic cathedrals, with a nave that took 600 years to build and stained glass windows designed by Alfons Mucha. The Old Royal Palace, the Golden Lane (a 16th-century alley of tiny craftsmen's houses where Franz Kafka worked for a winter), and the castle's south gardens with views over the red rooftops of Malá Strana are all included in the castle ticket.
- ✦ St. Vitus Cathedral — Mucha's stained glass windows
- ✦ Golden Lane — Kafka's house at No. 22
- ✦ Castle south gardens above Malá Strana's rooftops
- ✦ Lobkowicz Palace private collection (includes original Beethoven and Mozart manuscripts)
3Old Town, Josefov & the Astronomical Clock
The Old Town Square is Prague's heart — the extraordinary Gothic facade of the Týn Church, the Art Nouveau Obecní Dům (Municipal House) on the square's edge, and the medieval Astronomical Clock (Orloj) on the Old Town Hall, which performs an hourly mechanical procession of the Twelve Apostles that has been running since 1410. Josefov, the medieval Jewish Quarter, contains Europe's best-preserved medieval synagogues and the medieval Jewish Cemetery where 100,000 people are buried in 12 layers of graves over 12,000 square meters.
- ✦ Old Town Square — Týn Church Gothic towers
- ✦ Astronomical Clock hourly procession (on the hour)
- ✦ Old Jewish Cemetery — 12 layers of graves
- ✦ Art Nouveau Municipal House interior
4Day Trip to Český Krumlov
Český Krumlov — 3 hours south of Prague — is one of the most completely beautiful small towns in Europe: a UNESCO World Heritage medieval town built in a tight loop of the Vltava River, dominated by a castle complex second only to Prague's in size, with painted tower frescoes, a Baroque theater with its original stage machinery, and streets of colored Renaissance and Baroque facades. The town is small enough to walk entirely in an afternoon — the castle gardens, the revolving auditorium of the Baroque theater, and the view from the castle bridge over the river bend are all extraordinary.
- ✦ Český Krumlov Castle — painted tower fresco and Baroque theater
- ✦ Original stage machinery from the 18th century
- ✦ Medieval town in the Vltava river loop
- ✦ Castle gardens above the river bend
5Vinohrady, Žižkov & Local Prague
Beyond the tourist center, Prague is a city of neighborhoods. Vinohrady — the Art Nouveau residential district east of Wenceslas Square — has Prague's best cafe culture, independent wine bars, and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere on streets of fin-de-siècle apartment buildings. The Žižkov TV Tower (covered in crawling baby sculptures by David Černý) offers the best views of Prague's rooftops. The Nusle Bridge, the Holešovice art district, and the riverbank promenade north of the old city are all deeply local and completely tourist-free.
- ✦ Vinohrady Art Nouveau apartment streets
- ✦ Žižkov TV Tower with Černý baby sculptures
- ✦ Local wine bar afternoon in Vinohrady
- ✦ Prague riverbank walk north of tourist zones
6Bohemian Switzerland Day Trip
Bohemian Switzerland National Park — 1.5 hours northwest of Prague on the German border — is one of Central Europe's most dramatic landscapes: a sandstone plateau deeply carved by river erosion into a wilderness of rock towers, arches, and canyons that looks like it belongs in the American Southwest. The Pravčická Arch (the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe) and the Edmund Gorge (a dramatic slot canyon navigated by flat-bottomed boats) are the park's highlights — both within a morning's hiking distance of the trailhead.
- ✦ Pravčická Arch — Europe's largest natural sandstone arch
- ✦ Edmund Gorge boat tour through the slot canyon
- ✦ Rock tower landscape of Bohemian Switzerland
- ✦ Falcon's Nest restaurant at the base of the arch
7Departure
Final coffee and trdelník (chimney cake, a local pastry) in the Old Town before your flight. The airport is 30 minutes from the center.
- ✦ Dawn Charles Bridge walk — before the crowds return
- ✦ Final castle view from the bridge
Where to Stay
A Rocco Forte hotel in a converted 13th-century Augustinian monastery in Malá Strana, walking distance to the Charles Bridge and below Prague Castle — the most historically beautiful hotel setting in Prague.
On the Vltava directly below Prague Castle, with a terrace restaurant that offers one of the finest views in Europe — the Charles Bridge and castle illuminated at dinner, river flowing past.
A beautifully designed contemporary hotel in the Jewish Quarter, steps from the Old Town Square — the best design hotel in Prague at a price point that allows more budget for restaurants and day trips.
