Tuesday ties with Saturday as the day that closes the most of Prague's ten best-known sights: 1 of 10. Counting all 28 curated sights in MEVAYA's data, 1 is closed on Tuesdays. If your trip includes a Tuesday, plan it differently rather than discovering a locked door on arrival.
Everything below comes from MEVAYA's verified opening-hours data. Where a venue has special rules or conflicting sources, the note from our verification is included as-is.
Closed on Tuesdays
Kunsthalle Praha — Mon 11:00–19:00, Wed–Thu 11:00–19:00, Fri 11:00–21:00, Sat–Sun 11:00–19:00; closed Tuesday.
Open on Tuesdays
Old Town Square — open-air, no ticket, no closing day.
Charles Bridge — open-air, no ticket, no closing day.
Prague Castle — Grounds daily 06:00–22:00, free. Historic buildings (Old Royal Palace, St George's Basilica, Golden Lane and others): daily 09:00–17:00 Apr–Oct, 09:00–16:00 Nov–Mar.
St Vitus Cathedral — Mon–Sat 09:00–16:00, Sun 12:00–16:00. Frequently shortened for services and liturgical events — the cathedral and hrad.cz post one-off closures throughout the year, worth a same-week check.
Jewish Quarter (Josefov) — Closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays. Museum sites 2026: April 09:00–18:00, May–August 09:00–19:00, 1 September–17 October 09:00–18:00, 18 October–March 09:00–16:30. The Old-New Synagogue is run by the Jewish Community, keeps slightly different hours and usually closes an hour before the start of Shabbat.

Dancing House — open-air, no ticket, no closing day.
Wenceslas Square — open-air, no ticket, no closing day.
A Tuesday route that avoids every closed door
The schedule above is what the MEVAYA planner builds for a Tuesday. It only contains stops that are open that day — the planner reads each stop's closing days and will not route you to a closed venue, even one marked as essential.
The day covers about 4.1 km on foot, with no public transport needed.
Only 2 stops need booking: Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral. Everything else is free or sold at the door.
The Tuesday route, stop by stop
09:00–09:52 — Kampa Island. A small island under Charles Bridge with a mill wheel, a park along the water and John Lennon’s graffiti wall around the corner. Two minutes off the bridge and a fraction of the people. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.
10:12–12:19 — Prague Castle. The largest ancient castle complex in the world, and still the seat of the president. The courtyards and grounds are free to walk; the cathedral, Old Royal Palace and Golden Lane are inside a ticketed circuit. Verified opening hours: Grounds daily 06:00–22:00, free. Historic buildings (Old Royal Palace, St George's Basilica, Golden Lane and others): daily 09:00–17:00 Apr–Oct, 09:00–16:00 Nov–Mar. Book ahead: this stop needs a reservation or a timed ticket.
12:19–13:19 — Lunch. The planner reserves time to eat right after Prague Castle, so the afternoon continues from where the morning ended instead of detouring for food.
13:27–14:25 — St Vitus Cathedral. Six hundred years in the building, with a Mucha stained-glass window that is worth the visit alone. A small free area is open at the back; the main nave needs the castle ticket. Verified opening hours: Mon–Sat 09:00–16:00, Sun 12:00–16:00. Frequently shortened for services and liturgical events — the cathedral and hrad.cz post one-off closures throughout the year, worth a same-week check. Book ahead: this stop needs a reservation or a timed ticket.
14:46–15:32 — Charles Bridge. Six hundred years old, thirty baroque statues, and the Castle rising at the far end. Free, always open — and a completely different experience depending on the hour you choose. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.
15:50–16:36 — Old Town Square. Gothic spires, baroque façades and the astronomical clock on the town hall wall — a working medieval instrument that tracks the sun, the moon and the zodiac. Free and open at any hour. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.
16:52–17:59 — Mucha Museum. The Art Nouveau posters that defined a whole visual era, by the Czech artist who made them — and the story of how he came to resent being known for them. Verified opening hours: Daily 10:00–18:00.
