The most-viewed guide here is "Honest Prague Guide: The Only Video You Need to Watch" by HONEST GUIDE (1.4M views) — a solid first watch.
HONEST GUIDE and Kluci z Prahy are creators from here, not a visiting channel — worth watching for what the guidebooks skip.
Getting around: by public transport, on foot, by taxi and 2 more — the section below has the details straight from Wikivoyage.
3 of the places below list a real price from their own source — worth a scan before you budget the trip.
How these 28 picks are sourced
4 of 28 are named by a second, independent source — Michelin Guide — and each card names its own. The remaining 24 rest on the reference article alone: we list them because Wikivoyage or Wikipedia documents them, not because anyone else vouched for them. We also watched 9 creator videos, 3 of them from local channels rather than visiting ones. 23 of the 28 descriptions are quoted word for word from Wikivoyage under CC BY-SA rather than written by us, as is the introduction above — each of those cards says so. What we add is the checking, the corroboration above, and the choice of which places are worth your time at all.What we can't promise is that it's still true. Venues close, hours and prices change, and we don't re-check them — a place here closed for good and sat on this page for a year before anyone noticed. The insights are AI-written from these sources and can be wrong too. Confirm anything you'd be sorry to be wrong about before you set out. Terms.
Watch first
Ranked by views and how well each landed with the people who watched it, judged against the other coverage of this place — plus a local creator where we found one.

Getting around
By public transport
The tram and bus schedules are posted at the stops, and the metro (its schedule is posted in station) operates from early in the morning (around 05:00) until approximately midnight. Buses (lines no. 100-299) and trams (lines no.
On foot
Prague is renowned as a very walkable city. For those who enjoy seeing the old and new city by foot, one can easily walk from Wenceslas Square to the Old Town Square, or from the Old Town to Charles Bridge and the Castle District.
By taxi
There's little reason to use taxis for sightseeing – public transportation is often a better option. But if you want to use taxis for any reason, your best bet is using one of the taxi apps, or major taxi services – and not trying to flag them on the road.
By bicycle
Prague is not a very bike-friendly city. Despite numerous bike paths and bike lanes, they start and end randomly without continuity, requiring you to enter general traffic with cars. Prague is also quite hilly, so going uphill can be a challenge.
By boat
You can travel down the famous Vltava River, which inspired writers and composers such as Smetana and Dvořák. The Prague Steamboat Company offers sight seeing cruises and trips to the Prague Zoo or the Slapy River Dam.

What to eat
