Should you not want to walk, then you could elect to take in the sights from a boat on a cruise along the Vltava River, which is a great way in which to view the city skyline.

Once you’ve seen the various attractions that Prague has to offer, you could hit the shops for some retail therapy or visit top class restaurants to sample the very best cuisine.

That includes a number of eateries that are so good, they’ve been given a coveted Michelin Star.

You could also hit the bars for a refreshing drink, or even pay a visit to one of the biggest nightclubs in Europe to dance until the early hours.
