Good to know

Is Prague easy to see in four days on foot?

Mostly: day one climbs the castle hill and walks down, day two follows the river, day three stays in the old town. Vyšehrad and the Žižkov tower are the two stretches that ask for planning, and both come at the end of their days.

When should you cross Charles Bridge to avoid crowds?

First thing in the morning. This trip puts it at the top of day two, when the span is still quiet, with the Clementinum a short walk on from the far side.

What should we bring for a packed Prague trip?

Shoes that handle cobbles and two hills, a refillable bottle for the climb to Strahov and the castle, and a pen for the Lennon Wall.

How do the Jewish quarter stops fit together?

The Old New and Spanish synagogues sit a short walk apart on day three's morning, with the Church of Our Lady before Týn nearby to round out the loop before the National Gallery in the evening.

Is Prague cold in December?

Yes, and dry. Layers, a hat and gloves turn the long outdoor stretches - the bridge, the castle courtyards, Vyšehrad - into the most comfortable part of the day.

What should a couple do in Prague for three days?

A moderate loop: castle hill and old town on day one, Vyšehrad and the national institutions on day two, gothic towers and a modern viewpoint on day three.
