Prague in winter
Visiting Prague is like visiting a fairytale scene. And if you go in winter you'll find an extra special city with a unique light that will make your trip unforgettable. The charms of the Czech capital are even greater at this time of the year, offering a surprising variety of things to do. Take note and seize the opportunity to discover the beating heart of Europe.
Fun to go with friends or children; romantic for couples…: ice skating is one of the most popular winter experiences in Prague. Outdoor rinks, rooftop rinks, indoor rinks:… it's your choice. The temperature will invite you to make a stop at one of the city's glamourous cafes: perhaps the historic Slavia or the elegant cafes in the Municipal Hall and Cine Lucerna; maybe the Grand Cafe Orient, the world's only cubist cafe, or the spectacular Cafe Louvre. Make the most of your winter trip to Prague to attend an opera, a classical music concert or a play, and visit any of the city's museums; some of them, like the Franz Kafka Museum and the Mucha Museum, will give you a real feel for the flavour of the Czech identity.
Wrap up warm and explore Prague on foot: stroll along the magical banks of the River Moldava (or take a boat trip), and discover the historical monuments or new attractions like the ground-breaking sculptures by David Černý scattered across the city. As for what to eat, winter is a great season to try the magnificent local stews. There's no better way to warm up than with a hearty soup or casserole. The most popular ones are made with carp or pork. Last but not least, you absolutely cannot leave Prague without exploring its beer brewing tradition; a guided tour of the city's finest old breweries is an excellent option for a winter afternoon.
