My first trip to Prague was over a summer weekend when the temperatures hit close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and we were in a hotel with only a small fan (don’t count on finding AC in Europe). Despite sweating through the first day, Prague quickly became a special spot for me. It’s affordable, walkable, and filled with great food and drinks. When we lived in Germany, it was just around a two-hour drive from Nuremberg, so it was easy to make a weekend trip there. Here are some of my Prague top things to do.
