Prague

Czechia is full of storybook charm, with cobblestone streets, historic castles, and vibrant markets. Prague is straight out of a fairytale, with its Gothic architecture, winding streets, and festive Christmas markets.
While famous for its beer culture and rich history, Czechia is also incredibly family-friendly, with hidden playgrounds, fascinating castles, quirky museums, and plenty to explore with kids.

Language

The official language of Czechia is Czech, but English is widely spoken in Prague and other tourist areas.
Some common phrases are:
Hello – Ahoj (AH-hoy)
Thank you – Děkuji (DYEH-koo-yee)
Please – Prosím (PROH-seem)
Do you speak English? – Mluvíte anglicky? (MLOO-vee-teh AHN-glits-kee)

currency

Czechia uses the Czech koruna (CZK) as its official currency. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, especially in Prague, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash for smaller shops and local markets.

Best Time to Visit

Prague is beautiful year-round, but winter is especially magical with festive Christmas markets. Summer is great for exploring the city’s parks and outdoor spaces, while spring and fall offer mild weather and fewer crowds, perfect for sightseeing.

Our experience in Prague

I visited Prague years ago before having kids, and it felt like stepping into a fairytale. I knew I wanted to bring my kids back to experience it—and it didn’t disappoint. We visited during the Christmas markets, planning to spend time throughout the country, but we loved Prague so much that we spent our entire trip there.

We explored different areas of the city, stumbled on fun playgrounds and unique street art, and of course, soaked in the festive atmosphere of the Christmas markets. While my kids couldn’t exactly enjoy Prague’s famous beer (or the quirky beer spas), we found so many other family-friendly ways to experience the city.

Even though Prague is a popular tourist destination, it’s a city I could visit again and again. There’s just something magical about it, and it’s surprisingly great for families—playgrounds are everywhere, and there’s plenty to keep kids entertained while parents soak up the city’s rich history and culture.

  • Transportation Tip –Trains are the easiest way to get around Prague, but if you prefer to explore more of Czechia by car, we recommend booking through Discover Cars for a hassle-free rental.
