Five Free Things to do in Prague



Five Free Things to do in Prague

The Bohemian capital is a ‘must see’ on any trip to Europe, and the charming old town and castle will have you charmed, but it’s not as budget friendly as it used to be. We’ve done the maths for you and here are our budget busting tips for Five Free Things to do in Prague!
The centre of Prague is beautifully preserved and packed full of Medieval and Gothic architecture with the most famous being the Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square.
There’s an hourly show with apostles emerging and beneath the clock tower there are 27 tributary crosses to commemorate the mass execution of 27 leaders of the Bohemian Revolt that happened here in 1621. There will also be crowds gathered because it’s the favourite site in Prague and it’s also free! If you can, climb up the 600 year old spire and see the amazing view of the old town.
