3 Days in Prague: A Practical Itinerary

Spend your first day navigating the Old Town and Charles Bridge early to beat the crowds. Use your second day to hike up to Prague Castle, and your third day to explore the Vršovice or Vinohrady neighborhoods for a local perspective.

Beat the morning crowds. Arrive at Charles Bridge by 6:30 AM. After 9:00 AM, it becomes nearly impassable. Use the early hours for photos before the tour groups arrive.
Use public transport. Don't bother with taxis. Download the 'PID Lítačka' app. Buy a 72-hour pass for 330 CZK; it covers all trams, buses, and the metro.
Manage your cash. While cards are widely accepted, keep 500 CZK in coins for small cafes or public toilets. Avoid Euronet ATMs; they charge massive fees. Use bank-affiliated ATMs like KB, ČSOB, or Raiffeisen.

Do I need to tip?: Yes, around 10% is standard for full service. If you are just buying a beer at a pub, rounding up to the nearest 10 or 20 CZK is sufficient.
