My two days in Prague, Czech Republic - Best places to visit in Prague

Posted by Shraddha on December 24th, 2019

If you have two days in Prague and are planning what all to explore, read through this post. A few days back, I had the opportunity to spend two days in Prague. Many travellers say that Prague is better and more impressive than the city of Paris. Maybe it is even true. Moreover, compared to the rest of Europe, the Czech Republic is also economical. But that does not mean its beauty and grandeur is any lesser than the others!

In addition to the below-mentioned places, you can also check out the free and quirky tours around the city - for e.g. Ghosts and Legends Walking Tour of Prague. Although the tours are free you almost always will give a tip out of pleasure! And you won't even know when your two days in Prague ended.

The Charles Bridge

To start off you can visit the very famous, picturesque and touristy - Charles Bridge. With 30 groups of statutes lined on either side, Charles bridge is the most visited and popular place in the Czech Republic. It is the oldest stone bridge in Europe. There are several myths and legends associated with the statues on the Charles Bridge. According to one legend, a particular statue - Statute of Saint John of Nepomuk - when rubbed is said to fulfil your wish within a year and a day!

Astronomical Tower and Old Town Square

Be on time to see the great astronomical clock in the old town square chiming. Or get a drink and grab a seat in the cafe opposite the clock. This astronomical clock has been chiming since the olden times. It is the oldest ticking clock in the entire of Europe. The clock is filled with mythical figures and has 13 apostles coming in every hour. It chimes loud and clear yet soft and smooth every hour of the day. Thousands of tourists stand over to hear it chime. Make your way here at least 10 minutes before to find a good spot.

Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral

Any visit to Prague is incomplete without visiting Prague Castle and Saint Vitus Cathedral. You can take a guided tour for better information. Whether or not to visit Prague Castle totally depends on your interest in European History and medieval castles. Make sure to book a skip the line ticket in advance if you plan on visiting. As I had already visited the castle of Cesky Krumlov (mentioned below) I skipped this one.
