Prague Old Town and Charles Bridge
Walk the Astronomical Clock at the top of the hour, then cross Charles Bridge before sunrise to dodge the crowds.
Five days in the Czech Republic move between Prague's cobblestones and Bohemia's beer cellars, where the air smells of malt and woodsmoke and Gothic spires throw long shadows across the Vltava at dusk.

About this Czech Republic trip
Prague does most of the heavy lifting on a five-day Czech trip, and that's fine. The capital rewards slow walking: cobbled lanes in Malá Strana, the smell of trdelník smoke drifting off Old Town Square, the clang of trams climbing toward the castle. Five days gives you three in Prague and two for day trips or an overnight in Bohemia, which is the sweet spot for a budget traveler stretching koruna across cheap pivo and pension rooms.
Start in Staré Město and Malá Strana for the postcard hits, then spend a night in Žižkov or Vinohrady where locals actually drink. Žižkov's pubs pour Kozel and Staropramen for under 50 CZK, and U Vystřeleného Oka stays loud past midnight. For food, skip the tourist goulash on the square and head to Lokál or Café Savoy for proper svíčková, roast pork with dumplings, and pickled cheese called nakládaný hermelín.
Outside Prague, two day trips earn the train fare. Kutná Hora delivers the macabre Sedlec Ossuary and a quiet Gothic cathedral in under three hours round trip. Český Krumlov is further south and worth an overnight if you can swing it, with its castle, riverside beer gardens, and medieval lanes that empty out after the day-trippers leave. Plzeň works as a half-day for the Pilsner Urquell brewery tour.
Visit in May, June, or September for warm evenings without August crowds. Trains from Praha hlavní nádraží are cheap and reliable; book RegioJet or České dráhy in advance. Hostels in Vinohrady run 400-600 CZK a night, and a full meal with two beers rarely tops 350 CZK.
