1. Festive feasts
Good news, beer fans: Prague is a fantastic spot showcasing top Czech pints. Swap the mulled wine for Pilsner Urquell, a lager brewed since 1842, the sublime Staropramen, or the old favourite, Budvar.
2. Showing off
An evening in Prague doesn’t have to be all gorging at the stalls – enjoy a very decadent outing to the opera, ballet or a classical concert. You’ll receive the royal treatment in the various baroque venues and glamorous halls.
3. Christmas in a carriage
Top off a truly festive adventure with a horse-drawn carriage ride around the most historic parts of the city. Think Santa’s sleigh, with a traditional Czech slant.
4. See the sights
If you like the sound of baroque buildings and long bridges, then Prague really is the right place. In the surroundings of the enchanting Prague Castle, you’ll find churches, halls and gardens to explore.
5. Old Town strolls
Picture sharp spires and burnt orange roofs all dusted with snow. Prague’s Old Town is filled with amazing architecture and must-see landmarks, so it’s ideal for a festive walk.
6. Carping on
When the locals fast in Prague, they trade carp in for meat. The fish has got a strong religious meaning in the city, so it’s sold in big tubs a few weeks before Christmas Eve.
