A Big Short Break in Prague Art, Architecture & History
Czech Republic - Prague
Spend a long weekend exploring Prague's picture-perfect streets, where art, architecture and history await. Wander the cobbled alleys Franz Kafka once called home, admire the dreamlike designs of Alphonse Mucha and catch a concert, soaking up the music of Antonin Dvorak. Known for its free-spirited lifestyle and excellent craft beer, the Czech capital sure knows how to have a good time. From tucked-away galleries and underground jazz clubs to trendy restaurants and lively terraces, there's always something to uncover.
Kick off your trip in Vinohrady, where a private guide will introduce you to this trendy neighborhood and its vibrant local life. Here, Art Deco buildings rub shoulders with modern landmarks, including the imposing TV tower. After exploring the nearby farmers' market, grab a seat on a charming terrace, enjoy a refreshing drink and tuck into a buchta (a small, square bread roll).
If you're keen to delve deeper into local life, why not opt for a tour of Holesovice the following day? Once an industrial district, this trendy neighborhood in the north of the city has become one of Prague's cultural hubs. Tap into your creative side at the DOX Center for Contemporary Art, or check out the glass art creations at Lasvit, before exploring the nearby cafes and bars.
You'll also have tickets to the Mucha Museum, where you can discover the work of one of the Art Nouveau movement's leading figures. And with plenty of free time during your stay, you can catch an opera performance, tuck into local pastries, sip a frothy beer in an old palace and enjoy an evening in a jazz bar. Prague is truly your oyster.
