Prague City Breaks 2025/2026

Getting to, from and around Prague

Your journey to Prague from the UK is as simple as a Czech dumpling recipe. Lots of airlines like Ryanair, Jet2, British Airways, and easyJet offer direct flights from across the UK to Prague, making it easy to get to, even from your local airport like Belfast, Birmingham or Glasgow. Keep an eye on seasonal deals and promotions to bag the best flight prices, but you should expect higher prices for weekend breaks and Christmas stays. Alternatively, tour operators like Jet2 City Breaks, Expedia and loveholidays can package up flight and hotel accommodation for you.

Getting Into The City

When you arrive at Prague Airport (Vaclav Havel Airport), you're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the heart of Prague. The Airport Express bus whisks you directly to Prague's main railway station, Hlavni Nadrazi. Alternatively, you can opt for a convenient taxi ride to take you straight to your hotel.

Getting Around

Prague's city centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a pedestrian's paradise. Walking through cobblestone streets, you'll encounter iconic landmarks like the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, and Prague Castle. But if you want to explore farther afield, Prague's public transport system, is efficient and affordable. Purchase a travel pass if you're planning to travel a lot to help you save money and take in the city's vibrant neighborhoods. Car hire is an option but once you're in the city, walking and public transport is an easier option instead of navigating narrow streets.

When To Go

The Czech capital is a year-round delight, but the best times for a city break are spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October). The weather is generally pretty good and there aren't as many tourists. Christmas time is another excellent time to visit to take advantage of a Christmas market break.
