Suggested Route (5–7 Days)

  • Days 1–4 — Prague: Charles Bridge at sunrise, Prague Castle, the Old Town Square’s astronomical clock, and the Jewish Quarter.
  • Days 5–6 — Český Krumlov: A storybook medieval town two hours south, easily done as a day trip or overnight.
  • Day 7 — Kutná Hora: Home to the famously eerie Sedlec Ossuary, an easy half-day add-on.

Visa & Entry Notes

Part of the Schengen Area — one visa application covers your whole trip, including any add-on countries nearby.

Best Time to Visit

April–May and September–October offer the best balance of weather, crowds, and price. Summer is busy; winter is atmospheric but cold.
