Prague is not the cheapest city in the world but we didn't find it as expensive as many describe it. In fact there are quite a fewthings to see and do for free in Prague. Today we are going to tell you the 10 experiences that you can not stop living in this beautiful city and best of all, without spending a hard clear!
Josefov, the Jewish quarter of Prague, is undoubtedly one of the most interesting visits in the city. The truth is that if you want to know in detail the history of this corner you will have to pay 300CZK (about € 11) that will give you the right to visit the 6 synagogues and the Jewish cemetery. We believe it is worth it, if you go more skinny than the head of Don Limpio do not worry: you can enjoy the Jewish quarter simply by walking.
Just don't miss a route through the six synagogues (Alta, Española, Klausen, Maisel, Pinkas and Vieja-Nueva), each one different from the other and approach the cemetery (although access is for a fee you can take a look from outside!).
The atmosphere that is breathed in this square is wonderful: street vendors, pastel houses, the town hall, the church of San Nicolas and above all, the spectacular Church of Our Lady of Tyn (also free). Just be prepared to share the visit with a few more tourists!
If you want, you can sign up for this free tour (although it's always good to leave a tip!) 🙂
Tip: they say that to whom God gets up early God helps him and in the case of Prague, God (or whoever is for him) makes the city 'early' deserted at an early hour. Take advantage!
well, between Lety's bread face, Rober's mustache and uncle talking on the phone ... you can admire the wonderful Church of Our Lady of Tyn haha
One of the most 'eccentric' buildings of the old continent is in Prague: we speak of the 'danzanante house' also known as 'Ginger & Fred', in honor of the dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The building looks like a couple that is dancing!
Built in 1490 the astronomical clock in Prague is the most beautiful and famous medieval clock in the world. Its peculiarity is that every hour comes alive: the figures of the 12 apostles parade before the eyes of hundreds of tourists followed by 4 characters (a man with a mirror representing the Vanity, a Jewish merchant with a bag full of coins representing the Avarice, a Turkish prince with a mandolin representing the Lust and the Death, which is represented with a skeleton that holds an hourglass).
Without doubt one of the most romantic (and at the same time spooky) places in Prague, the Charles Bridge is a delight to behold. Built in 1357, it connects the old city (Stare Mesto) with the small city (Mala Strana). Along its almost 500 meters you will find more than 30 statues and a few artisans, painters and cartoonists. Much has been written about this bridge and the legends are almost endless, we invite you to investigate for yourself, you will surely be surprised.
Tip: visit it both day and night, and if you have courage, also at dawn.
Prague Castle, the largest in the world, represents endless opportunities to spend an entertaining morning (or afternoon). Here you get some of the best views of Prague in addition to the many places to visit for free and interesting as the cathedral of San Vito, the most important in the city, the Golden Alley full of pastel-colored houses that once were goldsmith's shops , the old Royal Palace and even some vineyards, those of Venceslao.
The story of John Lennon's wall coincides with the year of his murder: 1980. It was then that the image of the singer appeared on an anonymous city wall accompanied by phrases that incited freedom and criticized the communist regime. The police erased the graffiti but of little use: from that moment the graffiti began to be repeated and to become more and more frequent. Today the wall is a clear symbol of freedom of expression and is full of pacifist messages, flowers and phrases from Beatles songs.
Where? Velkoprevorske Namesti Square
One of the best ways to get to know a new city is to be guided by those who live in it: that's why free tours are an excellent way to travel.
Tip: it is true that the tour is free but do not forget to leave a tip to the guides (they are usually students who have no other source of income). More info here.
Well, you'll have to spend some money but little, huh? Go to a supermarket for a loaf of bread, some charcuterie and a little wine (or coke, or juice, or whatever is) and you have a good and cheap lunch that you can enjoy in the biggest green lung in Prague.
Ok, this is not free either. But drinking half a liter of beer for less than € 2 is very similar. They also say that Prague is one of the best places in the world to try different beers. To your health! (or rather, in Czech nto Zdravi!)
We have more things to do for free in Prague in the inkwell: visit the impressive Powder Tower, enjoy of Kampa Museum of Contemporary Art (free on Mondays), get to know the Wenceslas Squareget lost in the alleyways of the old town... so if someone scares you by saying that Prague is a super expensive city, no matter what!
