Central Europe’s most photogenic capital presents immediate visual splendour — the Gothic spires and Baroque facades lining the Vltava River, the Charles Bridge crowded with artists and tourists, the Prague Castle complex dominating the skyline — yet the city rewards exploration beyond postcard-perfect Old Town. Prague’s appeal extends into neighbourhood-level discovery: the elegant streets of Vinohrady, the creative renaissance of Karlín, the historic synagogues of Josefov, and the bohemian atmosphere around Malá Strana. The city balances heavyweight cultural attractions like the Kafka Museum and exhibitions within Prague Castle against playful contemporary art installations by David Černý, whose giant crawling babies and peeing statues inject irreverence into historical grandeur.
These Prague travel articles span practical visitor information, neighbourhood explorations, and specific guidance that addresses both obvious questions and unusual discoveries. You’ll find detailed advice on eating and drinking away from tourist traps, comprehensive neighbourhood guides that reveal areas beyond the obvious centre, practical details for visiting specific attractions within Prague Castle including the St Wenceslas Chapel and Vladislav Hall, train information for day trips to destinations like Olomouc and Český Krumlov, and guidance on quirky sites from the Lennon Wall to Černý’s various provocative installations. Whether you’re planning your first Prague visit or returning to explore beyond the greatest hits, these guides help you navigate a city where beauty attracts millions yet depth rewards those willing to venture past the Charles Bridge crowds.
