Viajar a Praga en invierno

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.

La Praga Alternativa

Beyond stone and water: the alternative Prague

Prague is also a fascinating art and design destination: inspiring galleries, buzzing neighbourhoods and the revival of Czech animation. Tucked away amid the medieval alleys, gleaming Renaissance palaces and charming spas, the city's numerous galleries and museums offer an excellent showcase of what's cooking in contemporary Czech art. The quintessential neighbourhood to discover this bold, creative and inquisitive side of modern Prague is Holešovice. A former industrial area centred around the harbour, today its warehouses and factories are enjoying a second life as studios for young artists, designers and architects, alongside lofts and the headquarters of technology companies. All of which has given rise to an ecosystem of cafes, alternative art galleries, design shops and concert venues around them. If you really want to experience this alternative Prague, be sure to visit Karlín and Žižkov, two neighbourhoods whose Art Nouveau buildings, hipster cafes and industrial facilities converted into cultural spaces reveal the city's most contemporary character. Besides, this area affords the best panoramic views of Prague: from Vítkov Hill (in Karlín) and from the Žižkov Television Tower, where you'll also find ten of the famous giant babies by Czech sculptor David Černý.
