Build this around your own pace

This is one realistic version. The planner rebuilds it around your start time, interests, pace and the day of the week — with the same verified Prague data.

Plan your Prague day

Of all the days of the week, Tuesday is the one that closes the most of Prague's curated sights: 1 of the 28 in MEVAYA's data. 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.

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 (cathedral, palace, Golden Lane): daily 09:00–17:00 Apr–Oct, 09:00–16:00 Nov–Mar. Tram stops Pražský hrad and Královský letohrádek suspended for track reconstruction until 17 July 2026 — use Pohořelec, Brusnice, or Prašný most instead.

St Vitus Cathedral — Same hours as the Castle's historic buildings: daily 09:00–17:00 (Apr–Oct) / 09:00–16:00 (Nov–Mar). Frequently shortened for services and liturgical events — hrad.cz posts one-off closures throughout the year, worth a same-week check.

Jewish Quarter (Josefov) — Closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays; otherwise roughly 09:00–18:00, seasonal (09:00–19:00 in summer). Several synagogues in the Jewish Town route are individually and temporarily closed for renovation (Klausen Synagogue, Ceremonial Hall) — confirm which sites are open before buying a combined ticket.

Petřín Hill & tower — Daily, seasonal: 10:00–18:00 (Jan–Mar, Oct–Dec), 09:00–19:00 (Apr–Aug), 09:00–18:00 (Sep). The Petřín funicular has been out of service since September 2024 for reconstruction, expected back in service around Q3 2026 — reaching the tower currently means a 30–45 min uphill walk or a tram to Pohořelec/Hellichova.

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 4.0 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

09:00–11:07 — 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 (cathedral, palace, Golden Lane): daily 09:00–17:00 Apr–Oct, 09:00–16:00 Nov–Mar. Tram stops Pražský hrad and Královský letohrádek suspended for track reconstruction until 17 July 2026 — use Pohořelec, Brusnice, or Prašný most instead. Book ahead: this stop needs a reservation or a timed ticket.

11:15–12:13 — 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: Same hours as the Castle's historic buildings: daily 09:00–17:00 (Apr–Oct) / 09:00–16:00 (Nov–Mar). Frequently shortened for services and liturgical events — hrad.cz posts one-off closures throughout the year, worth a same-week check. Book ahead: this stop needs a reservation or a timed ticket.

12:13–13:13 — Lunch. The planner reserves time to eat right after St Vitus Cathedral, so the afternoon continues from where the morning ended instead of detouring for food.

13:33–14:25 — 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.

14:37–15:23 — 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.

15:48–16:55 — 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 roughly 10:00–18:00.

17:11–17:57 — 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.
