Things to do in Prague in September

1

Charles Bridge at Dawn

Cross the 14th-century bridge at 6am when the 30 Baroque saints are bathed in mist and the castle glows above. The most romantic 30 minutes in Central Europe.

2

Prague Castle Complex

The world's largest ancient castle — the Cathedral, Golden Lane, and the panoramic view over Prague's red rooftops. Budget a full morning.

3

Czech Beer Culture

Czech Republic consumes more beer per capita than any country. A half-litre of excellent Czech pilsner costs €1–2 in a local pub. U Fleků has been brewing since 1499.

4

Old Jewish Quarter (Josefov)

Six synagogues, the Old Jewish Cemetery, and the Pinkas Synagogue — walls inscribed with 80,000 names of Czech Holocaust victims. Haunting and important.

5

Day Trip to Český Krumlov

A perfectly preserved medieval town 3 hours from Prague — a Baroque castle, bear moat, and river bend that looks unchanged since the 16th century.

6

Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock

The heart of medieval Prague — Gothic and Baroque facades, the Church of Our Lady before Týn's twin spires, and the 15th-century Astronomical Clock, which performs an animated show of the apostles every hour.
