3 days, 2 nights, 2 travellers, mid-range, flying from New York. Usual prices we track ourselves, not a price you can book.

How we know

Fare: the middle price of the economy round trips we found from New York on our latest check (half were cheaper, half dearer), for departures in the coming weeks.
Hotel night: the middle nightly price of the Prague hotels we check three times a week (see our hotel price index).
Daily spend: food, local transport and sights per person, from our city guide, by travel style. The hotel isn't in it.
Total: fare × travellers + hotel night × nights × rooms + daily spend × travellers × days. Prices move, so treat it as a guide, not a quote.

Each day's highlights in order. Want more days or a different pace? The planner at the end reshapes it around you.

Verified spots in Prague that the classic route skips.

Hidden GemsVyšehrad
This clifftop citadel south of the centre offers wide-open Vltava views and a cemetery where Dvořák and Mucha are buried, with a fraction of the Old Town crowds.
Hidden GemsThe Štefánik Observatory
The Štefánik Observatory on Petřín Hill is a working public telescope station where on clear nights astronomers guide visitors through the Prague sky for a few crowns.
Hidden GemsNuselský most
Locals gather at the green park beneath this vast concrete viaduct in Pankrác for an unexpectedly dramatic urban panorama over the Nusle valley.
Hidden GemsDOX Centre for Contemporary Art
Holešovice's converted factory hosts provocative contemporary exhibitions alongside a rooftop Zeppelin-shaped reading room with views over the industrial district below.
Hidden GemsZahrádky Letná Beer Garden
Perched on the Letná plateau above the river, this open-air beer garden serves cheap half-litres to locals at sunset with arguably the best unobstructed skyline view in the city.
Hidden GemsFarmers' Saturday market
Every Saturday morning, vendors line the Vltava embankment selling Czech cheeses, smoked meats, fresh bread, and small-batch spirits to a wholly local weekend crowd.

Each place was checked on Google Maps: real address, right city, still open.
