About this walk
The walk every first-time visitor should do. This straight shot connects Prague's most iconic landmarks in one continuous stroll — from the castle gates down through Malá Strana, across Charles Bridge, into the Old Town Square with its Astronomical Clock, and ending on Wenceslas Square at the National Museum. No detours, no deep dives — just the city's greatest hits, tightly packed and perfectly walkable. The postcard route, done properly.
