Prague

23 – 24 September 2026 — 2 nights

Hire car drop 2 nights Medieval old town Cheap beer Drive from Munich
Early Start

We drive from Munich to Prague on 23 Sep, departing around 5am. The drive is about 4.5 hours on the autobahn direct. Arrive mid-morning, drop the hire car, and you've got the rest of the day. Early night on 24 Sep — flight to London departs 07:00.

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.
  • Hire car note: confirm AT/CZ cross-border permission before departure. Drop location TBC in Prague.

WS
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.

Charles Bridge (Karlův most)
Prague's most iconic landmark — a stunning medieval stone bridge lined with 30 Baroque statues crossing the Vltava. Crowded during the day; magical at dawn or dusk. Cross it at least once each way. Look for the saint statues — touching one is said to bring luck.
FreeGo at sunrise
AO
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
DH
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.
