Arrive early to catch true dawn
Meeting 10–15 minutes early ensures you’re ready for the best light and the guide’s briefing before you step onto empty squares.
Grip the cobbles
Wear shoes with good traction—historic pavements are uneven and can be slippery in damp conditions.
Pack a light layer
Morning temperatures can be several degrees cooler than midday; a light jacket or windbreaker is useful.
Bring small change
Carry a few euros or Czech koruna for coffee, tips, or small purchases at the café stop.
Supportive walking shoes
Good soles and ankle support make cobbles and stairs comfortable and safe.
Light jacket or windbreaker
Keeps you warm during cool mornings and blocks light wind near the river.
Compact daypack
Holds water, camera, and layers without slowing you down.
Portable camera or smartphone
Early light is ideal for photos—bring spare battery or power bank.
