Prague guide in one day
The first day of the route through Prague in 2 daysWe suggest you go very early to the Old Town Square, the most famous place in the city, which is full of tourists and organized groups as the day progresses.
Here you can see the 15th Century Astronomical Clock, located in the Old Town Hall, the most beautiful in the world according to our opinion that is the jewel of this square. Keep in mind that every time the clock marks an hour, there is a small parade of figures representing the twelve apostles, so try to square your visit with this moment, as it is one of the most important in the city.
Old Town Square in Prague
After seeing all the corners of the square, you have to climb the tower of the Old Town Hall from which you will have one of the best views of the historical center of Prague.
To enter the tower and other major attractions of the city it is advisable to buy the Prague Card before, which in addition to the tickets includes free public transport and the Petrín funicular. If you do not want the card you can book this ticket to the City Council in advance.

After getting off the tower you can complete the visit to the square entering the Church of Our Lady of Týn, in Gothic style and with two sharp towers. At number 5 on U Radnice Street, next to the square, you will see a plaque that recalls that one of the most illustrious Czechs, Frank Kafka, was born in this place.
This whole area of the historic center (Stare Mesto) is wonderful, its narrow streets, its medieval air, puppet shops, historical buildings, so we recommend you leave the map and dedicate yourself to travel it without haste but without pause, at be possible at different times of the day, although for us, the best time to walk is at sunset.
Another great option to get to know all the curiosities of the old town and not miss anything is to book this complete tour of Prague or this free tour of Prague Free !, both with a guide in Spanish and considered as two of the best free tours in Prague for free.
Next to the old part of the city is also the Jewish quarter of Prague or Josefov, which would be the next stop of the route through Prague in 2 days.
In this neighborhood there are 6 important synagogues of which we recommend visiting at least two. Among our favorites are the Old-New Synagogue, one of the oldest in Europe and the Moorish-style Spanish Singagogue, which we recommend not to miss.
Although the most essential visit of the Jewish quarter is the Old Jewish Cemetery, in which a large number of tombstones of all kinds accumulate in a small space. The entrance included in the Prague Card is joint for all the synagogues and the cemetery. In case you do not have the card, it is best to buy it in a synagogue and avoid queues at the cemetery ticket office.
If you are interested in the history of Josefov we recommend you book this tour with a guide in Spanish that includes the entrance to the most important synagogues and the cemetery.
