Expect cobblestones and steps
Much of central Prague is uneven stone and staircases — wear sturdy, supportive shoes to avoid slips and sore feet.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Two hours of walking plus summer crowds make hydration important; many cafés will refill bottles for a small purchase.
Time the Astronomical Clock carefully
The hourly show draws large crowds; arrive early or plan to view from a less congested angle in Old Town Square.
Carry small cash and a card
Some small cafés, market stalls, and historic-site lockers prefer cash; have a small amount of CZK on hand.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive soles and good traction make navigating cobbled streets and steps easier.
Lightweight rain jacket
Spring showers are common; a packable jacket keeps you dry without bulk.
