38 fun things to do in Prague on a budget

The activities are in no particular order because everyone has different interests and hobbies. But we’re sure we’ve found something for every type of traveler to enjoy. There’s even some good ideas for things to do in Prague during winter and at night if you’re looking for some good nightlife.

The list is definitely driven more for budget travel, so most activities will be on the cheaper end or free with a few more expensive options thrown in there as well. This way you can pick and choose what you may be interested in and go from there.

If you’re looking to create your own Prague itinerary you can use the list below for inspiration, or if you want a full itinerary for a weekend in Prague we got you covered as well.

We have included the price for each activity so you can see if it fits your budget or not before going there.

#1 Watch a Sparta Prague Soccer Match

Price: A Sparta Prague ticket, a beer, and a sausage will cost you about $12 total.

What better way to get a feeling for Czech locals than by watching a Sparta home game? The fans are wild, the beer is cheap, and it’s just good fun!

If you’re spending the afternoon at Letna Park then you won’t have to walk too far over to the Stadium. Enjoy some nice cold beers and sing along with all the Sparta hooligans. We’re sure that you’ll have a fun and cultural experience!

Watching a Sparta game is a great activity if you’re looking for something to do at night in Prague because most games take place in the evenings, usually on weekends.

Sparta Prague tickets can be bought right at the stadium up until the match starts and even a few minutes after. You can see all the different prices for the tickets online too. That way you can give yourself an idea of all the different prices. But in all honesty it’s a budget activity to do and you wont break the bank going to a game.

#2 Enjoy a dark Kozel

Price: Basically free, you can find dark Kozel’s from 50 cents at a portraviny to a few dollars at a pub!

This is a budget travelers dream. Good, cheap beer. You have to try a dark Kozel! Preferably on tap. Try saying “Tmave Pivo“ or go buy it from a corner store (potraviny).

Every expat who has moved to or visited Prague absolutely loves a good Kozel beer. Ok..that may be slightly exaggerated but there’s a good chance you will like it even though you may not like dark beer. You’re most likely travelling abroad in Czech, give it a chance and thank us later.

#3 Feel artsy at The Lennon Wall

Price: The time it takes your feet to walk there 😉

This is another freebie for anyone who wants to see Prague on a budget. The John Lennon Wall is famous in Prague and is one of the more touristy attractions but the story behind it makes it worthwhile checking out.

The beauty of the Lennon was is that no matter if you’ve seen it before or not, it’s constantly changing and you for sure haven’t seen the most recent edition of the wall.

Since the 80s, the wall has been graffitied on continuously by students, locals, and even tourists. For the older generation, the wall symbolized a harder time of communism and war. Now, the Prague Wall symbolizes love, peace, and freedom! You may be lucky enough to even see a street pedlar singing one of the Beatles’ classic hits!

#4 Indulge in a delicious burger at The Tavern

Price: An average meal with a beer will cost you about 15-20$ with a 10% tip.

The Tavern may have the most delicious place in the whole city to get a burger in Prague. They have a very delicious vegetarian option as well which we really enjoyed.

The owners are American and they have brought their delicious southern American cuisine to the masses in Prague. They do a southern American style brunch that includes waffles and chicken which is a must have if you’re open to trying something new.

The staff all speak wonderful English and the menus are in English as well so you have nothing to worry about if you’re wanting to indulge in a yummy burger in Prague (It’s also in our favourite neighbourhood in Prague).

We’d recommend making a reservation on the Tavern’s website as it’s about 99% mandatory if you want to get a table. You’ll thank us later for this one! The prices may not be local food cheap, but you’re definitely getting what you pay for with it still being on the budget end of things.

Also one thing that’s been talking about lots lately is tipping in Prague and the rest of the Czech Republic. To answer the question it’s no different than if you were back home in Canada or the USA. We personally tip between 10-20% depending on the service. The servers and bartenders make minimum wage and depend on tips the same way they do back in Canada, UK, US, etc.

#5 Chill out on a Paddle Boat in Vltava River

Price: Very budget friendly. About 5$ a person for an hour on a boat.

Have you ever been paddle boating before? What about paddle boating with a view of a magical castle right in front of your eyes? Well paddle boating in Prague will offer you all that and more.

This is the perfect way to spend an afternoon with family or a group of friends. You can rent a paddle boat for an hour or two which you can take all around the Vltava River which is lying right below the Prague Castle. Bring your camera, water, and some sunscreen and enjoy the afternoon on the Vltava River!

Here is the exact location for the rental boats in Prague. If you’re lucky you can get one of the old school looking car boats that are fun to cruise around the Vltava river.

#6 Dance till you drop at Radost

Price: Girls are FREE until midnight. Drinks start from 3$ and they also have a 4$ entrance fee for guys.

Looking for something to do for a night out?

Back in the MTV days when Rihanna was on top of the billboards she produced a song I’m sure most of you will know. It’s called “Don’t Stop the Music“. If you watch the music video you will see Rihanna go from a potraviny and into a night club.

The night club is Radost! It’s located right near the central train station in Prague. When you walk downstairs you’ll see the #RIRI mirror in the ladies bathroom where a good portion of the music video takes place.

The night club is great for a night out in Prague if you’re there for the weekend. The music is great and if you like oldie hip hop then this is right up your ally!

#7 Hang out in the Letna Beer Garden

Price: Beers start from 2$!

This is easily one of the most beautiful spots in the whole city!

You will see hundreds of people flocking to the best beer garden in Prague on a hot summer day. Letna, is probably our favorite for an afternoon beer because it has around 30-40 picnic tables, beer stands, food stands, and gets plenty of sun all afternoon.

The view from Letna garden overlooks the Vltava River along with the old town of Prague. It’s the perfect place for a cheap afternoon beer. There’s also Letka Cafe and Mr Hot Dog nearby. Two places we absolutely love in Prague.

#8 Fall in love with the sunset at Riegrovy Sady

Price: It depends on how picky you are with your wine! 😉

It’s no hidden gem but that doesn’t take away the beauty of watching the sun go down behind Prague Castle with the whole city in sight. Seriously though… Grab a bottle of wine, chocolate, and some good company and enjoy the beautiful sunset. This is the definition of Prague on a budget it’s such an awesome place to spend an evening at. We tend to walk by it most nights when we’re not already there with friends.

We’ve probably gone to all the best sunset spots in Prague but this is hands down the best one. We would but a picture of the sun setting behind the castle but it just doesn’t do it justice. You’ll just have to see for yourself. =)

#9 (Attempt) to walk on Charles Bridge

Price: FREEEE!

The construction of the famous stone bridge began in 1357 and as Prague’s most iconic monument we just couldn’t leave out the Charles Bridge in this blog post.

Instead of going in the middle of the afternoon try going for sunrise or late in the evening to get some stunning photos of the bridge while it’s not crowded with tourists and pedlars.

Even after living in Prague for almost two years we found that the best way to learn about the city and the history of iconic things like Charles Bridge was to do a walking tour. There’s a few awesome walking tours that take you across the Charles Bridge and up to the castle. There’s no better way to learn about Prague and its history then by a local guide.

#10 Strike a pose at the Hotel U Prince

Price: It’s a little pricer, coffees are around 5$, and meals start from 10-15$.

Located right in the heart of Prague in Old Town Square, Hotel U Prince rooftop has one of the most Instagrammable spots in all of Prague.

You will have to walk through the lobby of the hotel and take the elevator up to the rooftop restaurant. Through the restaurant you’ll be able to walk up to the viewpoint which overlooks Prague’s Old Town Square.

If you go early enough you can get the corner spot which has the view of The Church of our Lady Tyn! The U Prince restaurant does get very busy so you want to go early.

Also, since it is a very touristy spot, this isn’t the most budget-friendly cafe in Prague. But if you’re really sneaky you can go up and just take a picture or two and go back down! Just make sure to smile at the restaurant staff and be friendly and they should be ok with it! 😉

#11 Visit the Astronomical Clock at Old Town Square

Since you’re already at the Old Town Square, make sure to visit the Astronomical Clock in Prague. This clock is right at the town square and was first installed in 1410.

If you come at the top of the hour, you’ll see the clock put on a little show. It’s nothing crazy (some people say it’s pretty anticlimactic to watch lol) but if you think about this being over 600 years old, we think it’s pretty impressive!

The Astronomical Clock is truly one of the Architectural Wonders of Prague and it is worth checking out!

#12 Drink Beer with locals at U Branicka

Price: Beers start from 2$. Yup, that’s Prague on a budget!

Located on Vodickova street is U Branicka – a very local pub right near the centre you can find the cheapest beer in Prague. I’m talking compared to standard western prices and not Czech in general. Since you can go to smaller towns and find even cheaper beer than in Prague. But for being in the capital city of the Czech Republic you can’t beat U Branicka.

Along with the cheap beer in Prague you get to see how the locals put down beers from sunrise till sunset at this pub. It’s seriously always open. If you go there a few times you will start to notice the regulars that are there daily.

Another beauty of U Branicka is they have famous dark Kozel on draft that we mentioned. So, make sure to stop by and have a beer or two with some true Czech locals.

#13 Hang out at Lucerna Rooftop

Price: There’s a 5$ entry fee. The money goes to maintain and fix the roof.

Who doesn’t like rooftops? Especially the ones with a view. Lucerna Rooftop is open every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 3pm till dusk. It’s probably our second favorite sunset spot behind sitting at Riegrovy Sady.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the popularity of rooftop bars in places like New York and Barcelona for a long time. Now they’ve finally made their way to Prague and hopefully the trend will continue so we will see more beautiful places like this open up in the foreseeable future.

#14 Hop on the Paternoster elevator

Price: FREEEE!

Located in the back of the City Hall, you can find this old school elevator. The Paternoster is a shaftless elevator and is quite fascinating to see. It’s quite shocking that this elevator is still operational in today’s day and age with safety regulations and all that. But shhh, let’s keep it this way so you can all still get a chance to see it before it’s too late.

You can ride the lift to the very bottom and it will move horizontally before going back up vertically. If that doesn’t make sense there’s a link for the Paternoster elevator for a more visual explanation.

If you ride it all the way you’ll be able to see the mechanisms of how the lift operated with the big wooden log constantly rotating, quite fascinating! Rainy day or not, this is a fun free activity in Prague to do whenever.

#15 Enjoy the city view from the Dancing House

Price: Around 5$ . The entrance free is a drink or a cake which will give you admission onto the roof.

You may have heard of the Dancing House but you probably had no idea you could go all the way to the rooftop!

Once you enter the Dancing House you will walk past the security desk and take the elevator up to the restaurant. From there you’ll walk up a flight of stairs to the rooftop bar.

At the rooftop bar/restaurant is where you’ll pay the entrance fee of around $5 which includes a drink of your choice. This is a cheap way to have a panoramic view of the city and the castle while enjoying a nice drink. This is another great sunset spot in Prague if that’s something you’re looking for!

#16 Shop at the JZP Market

Price: The price depends on how much delicious food you want to buy. The prices are very reasonable though.

The actual name is Jiriho z Podebrad and it is located in Vinohrady. But most of us expats call it JZP! The market is located just in front of the unique and famous church and right outside the JZP metro stop which is on the green line. Being right next to the green line makes this market very easy to get to.

The market is always open on Saturdays and, depending on the season, it may also be open on Wednesday and Fridays.

The best part about the market is it’s wide range of products. It’s also a good way to see some of the local Czech produced products. From everything dairy to fresh vegetables to grandma’s homemade goodies – they have it all! Once you’ve got everything you need you can sit back, relax and enjoy and afternoon on one of the benches located around JZP. There are also a few good coffee stands at the market too.

There’s also plenty of delicious restaurants, cafes, and bakeries right at JZP square. Lots of exploring to do in this area.

#17 Watch a hockey game at HC Sparta Prague

Price: Tickets start at 9$!

Jaromir Jagr? Dominik Hasek? 1998 Winter Olympics? Let’s just say the Czechs are rich in hockey history and have an incredible love for the sport.

Why not get a true hockey experience by watching one of the most successful franchises in Czech hockey? Sparta Prague Hockey Club play at the O2 Arena which is the second largest ice-hockey arena in Europe. You can imagine the atmosphere and fans are pretty wild.

A fun and budget friendly thing to do on a weekend night or Sunday afternoon since that’s when most of there games take place. Here is Sparta Prague’s schedule if you want to plan ahead and find a date that works.

#18 Prague Golf and Games

Price: 13$ for a round of mini-golf and two drinks!

If you’re in Prague and it’s raining then hurry up and make your way to Prague Golf and Games and enjoy a round of glow-in-the-dark mini golf.

They also have a mini-golf/pool table along with an extra-large Jenga set and another few games. It’s definitely somewhere you can go with families but they also have a bar, so it’s great for a day with your friends too!

#19 Enjoy a river boat cruise

Price: Around 15$ per person but it’s definitely worth every penny!

We recommend going on one of the smaller river cruises. All the touristy boats are great and you’ll still get beautiful views along the Vltava River and Prague Castle but it’s just a bit cooler seeing it from one of the smaller cruises!

The Devil’s Channel Cruise is a 55-minute long tour that will take you and the rest of the private guests into a lesser-known part of Prague.

There’s a reason they call it Mini Venice. You will still see the traditional things you’d get on a bigger boat but you’ll also get to visit the Devil’s Channel along with information from a knowledgeable captain.

It’s not the cheapest river cruise in Prague, but sometimes paying a little extra for a more private tour is worth it and this one definitely is.

Here is a more detailed post about the best river cruises in Prague!

#20 Out of this world experience at VR Play Park

Price: Depends on the activity.

Right in the heart of Prague, you can find Wenceslas Square. In the heart of Wenceslas Square lies easily one of the best activities you can do in Prague. Want an out-of-body experience that will blow your mind? We played VR Paintball and it was one of the most addicting things we have ever done.

Along with paintball they also have a VR Escape Room and even VR Expeditions. It’s not the most budget-friendly activity in Prague but it’s hands down one of the best so there was no way we couldn’t add it to this list. We don’t want anyone missing out on the fun we had. This place is fun to visit with friends or if you’re looking for some family entertainment when in Prague.

Insiders tip: Sometimes they have special events at a lower cost. Check out their website here for more information.

#21 Laugh your butt off at Velvet Comedy

Price: Depending on the night they may have a $4-6 cover fee and then drinks from $2 and up. Don’t forget to tip!

If you’re looking for a good laugh almost any night of the week then Velvet is the place to go. With a wide range of locals and travelling talents, there will always be someone new to see at Velvet.

It’s also an expat hotspot. So, if you’re into mingling and meeting new people then this is definitely the place for you. They tend to have some bigger names from overseas pop in and do a show every once in a while as well too. You can also find them on Facebook if you’re interested to see who is performing the week you’re in town.

It’s definitely worth every penny, and majority of the money goes back to the comedians who may be budget travellers like you and us. So the money truly does go to a good cause!

#22 Go on a day trip to Karlstejn Castle

Price: The trains is $3 each way. The Karlstejn tour itself is $13.

One of the most beautiful Castles in the Czech Republic is only a 50-minute train ride away from Prague Central Station. This is another perfect day trip from Prague for anyone wanting to get out of the city and see some of Czech’s beautiful countryside.

Once you get off the train you will have roughly a 5 minute walk into the small town and then there’s just one road up. After a short but steep walk, you’ll end up on the grounds of Karlstejn Castle. From there we spent the rest of the day outdoors in Czech nature.

It is also possible to do a guided tour of Karlstejn Castle which is supposed to be very nice! We haven’t tried it ourselves yet but we’ve heard great things about it and we’d definitely recommend the tour to anyone who isn’t on a tight budget.

Tours start from €50 and up. Click here to see the different options.

#23 Walk up the Petrin Lookout

Price: The Petrin tower price is $6 for adults and $3 for students!

Once you see it you will think it’s the mini Eiffel Tower. The history behind why it looks that way is because the club of Czech tourists visited Paris in 1889 and loved it so much they built a similar tower overlooking Prague up on Petrin Hill. Which is now the famous Petrin Lookout that overlooks the whole city of Prague.

Spend an afternoon walking up Petrin Hill and head up the tower for some amazing views. It’s totally worth climbing the 299 stairs to enjoy the panoramic views of the city. Once you’re finished climbing to the viewpoint you can go down to the park and spend time at the pub and cafe below. Otherwise sit and take in the views on the benches surrounding the park.

This is a perfect little afternoon activity if you’re in Prague in September or October when all the leaves are changing colors on Petrin hill.

#24 Feel fancy at Hemingway Bar

Price: Can be anywhere from $12-20 for a drink. Definitely not a budget recommendation, but still worth mentioning.

We’ll keep it short, but if you didn’t know anything about Ernest Hemmingway, now you’ll know that he was a drinker. Such a drinker that a bar in Prague was inspired by how much he drank and made a bar after him specializing in freshly mixed cocktails.

It is on the higher price end but maybe you can mix in this more expensive idea with some of the free things we mentioned to do. It’s definitely worth visiting the Hemingway Bar even if you are on a budget. For ONE drink! 😉

#25 Go to Grotta

Price: Budget friendly, FREEE!

Located in Havlicek Gardens, Grotta is such a fun thing to do in Prague. It’s one of the coolest artificial cave promenade buildings you’ll ever see. We don’t even know how to explain it because it feels like something straight out of a fairytale.

We’ve never seen anything like it before, it’s similar to a miniature labyrinth with paths all over the place. You can spend a few minutes wandering the caves while admiring the beauty and taking some fantastic photos. You’ll also be in the Havlicek Gardens which has fountains, lakes, statues, and stunning views.

Grotta is definitely one of the hidden gems in Prague because it’s not centrally located. Even though it’s not far from the city centre, tourists don’t seem to make it there.

#26 Have a feast at Manifesto Market

Price: Typical Market, beers start at $2.5 and food around $10.

If you combine industrial, chic, dining, and drinking you will get the marvellous Manifesto Market. With over twenty stands it’s the perfect place to go on a date or with some friends. There’s a great variety of food, so there will be something for absolutely everyone there.

It’s not in the heart of Prague but very accessible by foot or by tram. Wander away from the touristy spots and enjoy some food at this cool container market!

Here are the Google Maps directions to Manifesto to make it easier. The easiest way is to take the tram to Andel and walk from there. It’s one of the best food places in Prague that expats love.

#27 Be joyful at Joystick

Price: Beers start from 2$! BUDGET FRIENDLY!!

Super Smash Bros, DDR, Pinball and many old-school arcade games make Joystick one of the best bars we’ve ever been to. Whenever we have friends visit, we always bring them to Joystick and it’s always a great time.

Right next to Wenceslas square hidden away on a side road is where you can find Joystick tucked away. Beers are cheap and the pub has plenty of room. It makes it a perfect spot to sit back have some beers and kick someones but at DDR.

The combination of cheap beer, fun games, and a great time makes any budget traveller fall in love with Joystick! It is seriously one of Prague’s hidden gems night life wise.

#28 Get Instagram ready at the Prague Castle

Price: The base entrance is free! You are allowed to walk the Castle grounds without paying.
But… if you want to see all of the castle (Old Royal Palace, St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George’s Basilica, and Golden Lane), the price is around €10.

Prague Castle is a place you just have to see with your own two eyes. It’s a short little street but the cute houses that used to be occupied by goldsmiths in the 17th century.

In the 1950s they repainted these little houses and gave them all different colours. Bring your camera and stroll through The Golden Lane (this section has an entrance fee) and check out all the souvenir shops that have now taken over the little houses.

One thing we really recommend if you want to see all of the castle grounds is buying your entrance ticket beforehand. You can purchase a skip-the-line ticket for Prague Castle here so you can skip the line at the entrance (which can be quite long) and enter all of the castle grounds. A ticket costs roughly €10 no matter if you buy it on your phone or at the entrance, so you might as well save yourself the wait.

Fun fact: Prague Castle is the most Instagrammable castle in the world!

#29 Beat your friends at Bohemia Boards and Brews

Price: $3 per person to use their facility and games, $2.5 and up for beers, food from $7 and up!

This is one of our personal favourites! If you’re looking for something a bit more relaxed then Bohemia Boards and Brews is a fun place to spend an afternoon or evening in Prague. They have a great selection of beer and food along with almost every board game imaginable which makes this a great place to go with family and friends.

We highly recommend booking a table at Board and Brews in advance on their website as they tend to book up quickly since they are one of the only places like this in the city.

It’s such a cheap activity and the entrance fee is basically to have access to all the games. The beer and food is very reasonably priced. It’s perfect if you’re a group of expats or just students looking for something fun to do.

We tend to always play Catan, Splendor, or Cards Against Humanity. But don’t worry, they have games for almost every type of crowd.

#30 Play it cool at the Ice Pub

Price: Entrance is $10 and that comes with a cocktail.

If it’s too hot outside and you’re wanting to cool down then the Ice Pub in Prague. You’ll be able to wear a funky snowsuit while enjoying an Ice Cold Beer surrounded by ice.

Sounds like home (Dom) since it’s basically winter 10 months a year back in Canada. If you’ve never been to an ice bar then it’s definitely something you have to try out at least once. Especially if you’re from somewhere warm where temperatures below zero degrees Celsius don’t exist.

Go freeze your but off and enjoy a cocktail while sitting on a rock solid piece of ice at the Ice pub!

#31 Make your parents proud at Lucerna

Price: 5$ for the entry fee. Drinks start from $2.5.

Get your dancing shoes on because Friday nights at Lucerna consist of dancing ALL NIGHT LONG! You’re going to make your parents proud because all the songs are from the 80s-90s. You heard that right, Lucerna has an 80s-90s night every Friday. Then Saturday turns into today’s top music!

Pick your night and go get your groove on at Lucerna! I’m sure you’ll see half the expat community there on Friday’s singing their hearts out!

#32 Go on a day trip to Bohemian Switzerland

Price: $7.5 one way to Decin and $2 from Decin to the National Park. It’s a few extra dollars to see the arch. We would recommend $30 for the full day including food and transport.

This is an awesome and convenient day trip from Prague. Bohemian Switzerland is only about an hour and a half away by train you can go see some of Czech’s finest nature. Go check out the famous Pravčická Archway and spend an afternoon outdoors. Make sure to pack a camera and some cash and enjoy a full day outdoors.

You can take a train from Praha Hl.n. (Prague Main Station) to Decin Hl.n (Decin Main Station). From there you will take a city bus from Decin to the start of the National Park. To make it easier here are the directions how exactly how to get from Prague to Bohemian Switzerland and you can even buy your tickets online. Just make sure you go to the “train” setting and you will be all set.

You can also pack a lunch bag or have a cheap lunch at one of the local pubs in one of the villages or inside the national park! There are some great options to choose from and of course delicious beer.

#323 Visit Plzen Brewery

Price: From $4 by train each way, $12 for the Brewery tour.

You’ll probably wonder why every pub and restaurant has the Pilsner Urquell logo all over the place. This is because Pilsner Urquell is one of Czech’s national beers and by far their most recognized Czech beer globally. They paved the way for the pilsner beer and here we have the perfect guide for your trip to Plzen and the Pilsner Urquell Brewery.

With trains and busses leaving a few times an hour Plzen is the perfect day trip from Prague on a budget. The brewery is also in the beautiful City of Plzen which you should definitely explore before or after your tour.

If you want to buy your tickets beforehand for the train from Prague to Pilsen online. Otherwise, the main train station has ticket booths where you can purchase the tickets too if you’re unsure at what time you exactly want to go.

You can read more about the Pilsner Urquell Brewery tour and our experience here.

#34 Be historical at the Old Jewish Cemetery

Price: Free.

If you’re looking to see a bit of history then go check out one of the biggest Jewish cemeteries in all of Europe. There was such a lack of space in the cemetery back in the day, that in some places the graves go 12 levels deep.

It’s a bit of history that’s worth checking out since it dates back to the 15th century and is quite fascinating. Located right in the neighbourhood of Zizkov it’s definitely walkable from the center of the city. You can also go by tram or metro if you prefer.

#35 Visit the Franciscan Garden

Price: FREE!!! Prague on a budget!!!

If you get a little tired of walking around Prague’s busy streets you can go grab some local street food and find the Franciscan Garden. Located next to Wenceslas square is this beautiful park in the middle of the city.

Sit back, relax, and people-watch while enjoying the beautiful garden full of rose bushes and trees. There are plenty of benches so you won’t have to worry about finding a place to sit.

#36 Go to Kutna Hora

Price: $5 each way by train, and entrance is $3.5 for adults.

Another great day trip from Prague is a visit to Kutna Hora. It’s only an hour away from Praha Hl.n. (Prague Main Station) to Kutna Hora Hl.n (Kutna Hora Main Station), so it can easily be done as a day trip as trains leave every hour or two.

You can buy train tickets from Prague to Kutna Hora online.

When you get to Kutna Hora you can go to Sedlec Ossuary which is a small Roman Catholic chapel. Its fame comes from the fact that it has skeletons from 40-70 thousand different people. The bones have been artistically placed and used for decoration inside Sedlec Ossuary.

It’s slightly creepy, interesting, and strange at the same time, but we would definitely recommend it to any budget traveller touring around Prague and the Czech Republic!

#37 Free Prague walking tour

Price: However much you want to tip your guide at the end of the tour!

Free guided walking tours are honestly the best way to see the city and learn a little about the history plus some random interesting facts that only the guides would know. 

Prague, in general, is set up perfectly for walking tours because it isn’t that big of a city and the guides can take you to most of the interesting and worth visiting places quite easily. 

The nice thing about the walking tours is that they are free and you only tip whatever you feel is fair. 

You can also go on a paid walking tour with One Prague Tour. These guys are awesome and they will take you to a brewery and show you a few hidden gems that regular walking tours don’t visit. Plus you will also try some delicious food at a little local restaurant. Use the code “RWA10” for 10% off!

If you want a more private and exclusive tour then it’s worth going with One Prague Tour.

#38 Petrin Cable Car

Price: 2$ for a public transport ticket if you don’t already have a pass.

Petrin Park in itself is worth visiting because of the view you have of Old Town Prague. The fact that there’s a cable car right in the middle of the park makes it even more worthwhile.

Nine times out of ten we would recommend just walking and exploring the park. But at least once you have to give the cable car ride a go. It’s such a fun experience riding up in it.  You’ll be blown away by the view of the city and the castle as you ascend up the hill.

With rows and rows of trees in the park and the city skyline behind, you’re in for an amazing experience. It’s a short and sweet ride that isn’t mentioned enough when talking about Prague.

#39 Selfie Market Prague

Price: 11$ is the standard adult ticket price.

If you love selfies, telling stories, and using your imagination and your phone to create art then the Selfie Market is one of the museums/markets in Prague that you should explore.

With over 50 different interactive units, your wildest and craziest selfies will come to life.  We had such a fun and goofy time in all the different rooms. You’ll find yourself in a world of pop culture, sports, fashion, and even nature.

There are so many different themes and creative props in the market. If you’re visiting Prague in winter or if it’s a rainy day and you don’t want to be stuck in the rain then this is a good option. Especially since you can easily spend an hour or two in between all the different rooms and props.
