Prague — Germaniacs Europe 2026

Early Start

We fly from Munich to Prague on 23 Sep, departing 08:05 (Lufthansa LH1688). Short flight, so you'll be settled in Prague by mid-morning with the rest of the day free. Early night on 24 Sep — flight to London departs 07:05.

Prague is one of Europe's most beautiful cities — a medieval old town virtually untouched by WW2, a UNESCO-listed centre, a stunning castle on the hill, and some of the cheapest beer on the continent. Two nights doesn't do it full justice but you'll get the highlights.

The Czech koruna (CZK) is the currency — not Euro. Most tourist places accept Euro but at a bad exchange rate. Use CZK or pay by card. ATMs are plentiful.

Currency: Czech Koruna (CZK). ~27 CZK = 1 EUR (verify current rate).
Beer is typically 50–70 CZK (~€2) per 0.5L. Yes, really.
The historic centre is very walkable — Old Town, Charles Bridge, and the Castle are all close.
Weather in September: 15–20°C. Comfortable for walking.

Old Town Square (Staročměstské náměstí)

The heart of Prague. Surrounded by Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture. Home to the famous Astronomical Clock (Orloj) — catch the hourly mechanical show. Busy with tourists but genuinely stunning, especially in the early morning.

FreeCentral

Prague Castle (Pražský hrad)

The largest ancient castle complex in the world. Perched on a hill above the city with great views. Inside: St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica. You can walk the castle grounds for free; interior buildings have entry fees. Allow 2–3 hours.

Grounds: FreeInterior: ~400 CZK

Josefov (Jewish Quarter)

One of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe. Six synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery (one of the oldest in the world). Powerful history — entry to the Jewish Museum complex is about 500 CZK.

~500 CZK entryHalf day

Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí)

More of a long boulevard than a square — the commercial heart of the New Town. The scene of major historical events including the 1968 Prague Spring and 1989 Velvet Revolution. Good for wandering, eating, and getting a feel for modern Prague.

FreeGo at sunrise

Astronomical Clock (Orloj)

Medieval astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall, installed in 1410. One of the oldest working astronomical clocks in the world. Every hour (9am–9pm) the skeleton rings a bell, windows open and the 12 apostles parade past. Worth watching at least once.

Free to viewHourly show

Dancing House (Tancující dům)

Iconic 1990s building designed by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić — looks like a couple dancing (nicknamed "Fred and Ginger"). On the banks of the Vltava. There's a rooftop restaurant and bar with good views. Worth seeing even just from the outside.
