Welcome to Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic! Known for its incredibly preserved architecture, charming cobblestone streets, and rich history, Prague is a city that has something for everyone. Because it largely escaped the systematic bombings of World War II, wandering through its Old Town feels like stepping back in time.
Based on the travel vlog by 'Pooja On The Go', we have compiled the ultimate 3-Day Prague itinerary. Whether you are taking a romantic stroll across the Charles Bridge or watching a fire show at a medieval tavern, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Essential Travel Tips
- Transportation: Getting around is incredibly easy. Buy a 72-hour City Pass (approx. 330 CZK) which covers unlimited rides on trams, buses, and the metro. Don't forget to validate it on your first ride!
- Currency Hacks: The local currency is the Czech Koruna (CZK). Do not use the street ATMs or random currency exchange booths as they charge massive hidden fees. Instead, carry Euros and exchange them at reputable booths (like the one near I.P. Pavlova station) for the best rate.
- Walking Shoes: Prague is a very walkable city, but the streets are paved with cobblestones. Comfortable shoes are a must!
- Water Charges: In most restaurants and cafes, even regular tap water is chargeable (around 95 CZK). Be prepared to pay for hydration!
