Things to do in Prague in August

After you have walked the historical Old Town, take the tram at Staromestska and go for about ten minutes to Dvorce. Close by you will find Zlute Lazne, the Yellow Spa, where you can relax, get some suntan, sip on reasonably priced drinks in a friendly beach bar and play beach volleyball or ping pong. There are almost no tourists, so feel free to feel like a local!

This is definitely one of the best places of the city for you to enjoy a warm and pleasant summer day during the month of August. You will certainly enjoy the moment and make new friends!

Get some fresh air on a boat

Learn about the history of the Charles Bridge and Kampa Island. You should return back to the stairs where Victoria’s Secret angels once shot their adverts and continue to the river bank. Open your beer and wait for your boat. Hop on the boat and experience Prague from a different perspective. It is such an amazing way to explore the city!

There are many sightseeing cruises offers, so you should check their prices beforehand and get the best deal!

Hide away from the sunshine inside the St. Vitus’ Cathedral

The spiritual heart of Bohemia, the St. Vitus’ Cathedral at the Prague Castle where the biggest heroes of Czech history are buried, is going to bring you down on your knees.

You will be able to see, touch and admire this masterpiece the Czechs took six hundred years to complete. You won’t believe how much, or how little, depending on your perspectives, you can build in half a millennium! And remember to take off your cap/hat when visiting it!

Bike to the seat of the biggest Czech king ever

Biking belongs to one of the summer and spring top activities so don’t miss your chance and pedal along a beautiful cycling path to Karlstejn Castle, the summer seat of Charles IV, which is the king who is responsible for all the Gothic beauties that Magical Prague can offer to please your eye.

In case you are tired in the afternoon, a frequent train will comfortably bring you back to the city centre. Only in the summer season you can visit the famous chapel of the Holy Cross which is a part of the castle tour. Book in advance!
