A First-Timer's 3-Day Prague Itinerary

Day 1 — Old Town & the river. Start at Old Town Square, walk Charles Bridge before 8am, cross into Malá Strana for lunch, then a Vltava cruise in the late afternoon.

Day 2 — The Castle. Give the whole morning to Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. Walk down through the Lesser Town in the afternoon, finishing at Petřín Hill for sunset.

Day 3 — Beyond the center. Spend the morning in Josefov, the Jewish Quarter. In the afternoon, take the tram out to Vyšehrad for a quieter, local perspective on the city before you leave.

Build in slack — Prague rewards wandering more than it rewards a packed checklist.
