Follow the river through the city Prague's river, bridge, castle setting and historic streets create a sequence of changing views. The familiar skyline is best complemented by time at ground level, where a courtyard or interior can provide relief from busy routes.
Combine one major interior with a neighbourhood walk. Cross the river as part of a coherent route rather than repeatedly returning to the same crowded centre.
