Many of Prague’s most significant landmarks harbour quiet playgrounds ideal for escaping the tourist trail. The most magical? The grassy courtyard tucked between the hushed brick lanes of the castle’s Nový SvÄ›t quarter. To get there, take the 22 tram to Brusnice, walking south until you see a stone passageway marked ‘DÄ›tské hĹ™ištÄ›’ (children’s playground). The playground closes for the winter but this picturesque village is worth a visit any time of year.
Righty, so you’ve brought the kids to Prague. Needless to say, you probably shouldn’t drag them along on a tour of the Czech capital’s legendary beer-drinking spots (unless, y’know, they’re a bit older and it’s legal and all that) – but fear not, the city has plenty of stuff that’ll keep kids engaged and entertained.
For starters, this place doesn’t just look like a fairytale land. If you know where to go, it’s essentially one great, big playground. With sumptuous parks, plenty of excellent restaurants and an abundance of child-friendly (and world-class) museums, there’s enough here to satisfy even the most curious of young minds.
Praha is an all-action, 360-degree destination perfect for visits of all kinds, whether they’re party-hungry or a small family looking to soak up some wholesome city culture. Below are the best things to do with kids in Prague.
