One day in Prague only? Here is what you shouldn't miss

I stumbled upon a nice blog post on what to see in Prague if you have only one day.

As all other suggestions on this page, I do not get any commissions - but I think this is a nice summary of the must-see in the historic city center. Take a look by clicking on the image below!

An alternative to the Royal Route

The Royal Route is one of the most crowded routes in Prague. You will rather experience crowds of tourists and cheap souvenir shops than a magical feeling of a former coronation route of Czech kings.


Yet my friend tried to find an alternative - which will show you Prague much less crowded and much more authentic.

It starts at the Old Town square and it brings you to the Charles Bridge - yet it follows a different path as the map below illustrates. Let me know how did you like it!
