Wander across Charles Bridge at sunrise before the crowds arrive, then duck into Old Town alleys where cafes, market stalls, and hidden courtyards make you feel like you’ve discovered the city yourself.

Neighbourhoods have their own personalities:

  • Žižkov – gritty, rebellious, and packed with dive bars where locals hang until the sun rises.

  • Vinohrady & Letná – leafy streets, craft beer pubs, and rooftop spots perfect for late-afternoon drinks.

  • Malá Strana – secret gardens, cobblestones, and that “wow” view over the Vltava River.

Pro tip: skip the main tourist traps and let your shoes lead you to cafés, tiny galleries, and streets where the locals actually live.
