Cross Charles Bridge at sunrise and descend to Kampa Island; return briefly when the gas lamps glow at night.
Why is it romantic?
- A skyline of towers, river islands and cobbled lanes are linked by very short walks.
Do not miss
- Spread Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, Malá Strana and Prague Castle over two days.
- Watch the bridges line up at sunset from Letná or Petřín.
What to do together
- Walk Kampa Island and take a short Vltava cruise.
- Pause in a historic café, then choose an evening classical concert.
What to eat
- Try svíčková, roast duck, bramboráky and open chlebíčky sandwiches.
- Choose koláče for dessert; trdelník is touristy but easy to share.
