Where to Stay in Prague for Couples?

Prague is one of the most romantic cities in Europe, perfect for a couples’ getaway. While the Old Town and New Town are popular, they can be crowded and noisy—less ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape. For a more intimate and tranquil experience, we recommend staying near Prague Castle in the Lesser Town and Castle District. These charming areas offer cozy hotels and quiet streets, especially in the evenings when few tourists venture up the castle hill. Enjoy romantic walks and breathtaking views in one of Prague’s most serene neighborhoods.

Romantic Things to Do in Prague: Best Activities for Couples

If you’re planning a romantic trip to Prague and looking for the perfect activities to share with your better half, here are some of the most charming and romantic things to do in the city.

1. Take a Boat Ride on the Vltava River

Experience Prague from the water with a romantic boat ride along the Vltava River. For a shorter and more intimate cruise, consider the historic Prague Venice boat company, which offers 45-minute rides through the scenic Čertovka Canal. The ride includes refreshments and costs 550 CZK per person.
Longer cruises with lunch or dinner are also available from various operators. Keep in mind that shorter rides (up to an hour) usually follow circular routes.

2. Enjoy an Evening Stroll Along the Riverbank

Perfect for couples who prefer low-key romance over fine dining, Prague’s Náplavka is a popular riverbank promenade with floating bars and cozy cafes. It’s a great spot to grab a drink, watch the sunset, or simply enjoy each other’s company. Plus, you might meet some local swans and ducks—just remember to feed them vegetables, not bread!

3. Relax in a Cozy Prague Café

Prague’s café culture dates back centuries, and it’s full of hidden gems where couples can relax with a hot drink. From historic coffee houses to modern boho spots, there’s a perfect café for every vibe. Don’t miss my top picks for romantic cafés in Prague!

4. Climb a Tower for Iconic Views

Looking for a little adventure with your romance? Climb one of Prague’s historic towers for breathtaking views of the city. We recommend the towers of Charles Bridge or the Old Town Hall Tower; the latter even has an elevator if you’d rather not break a sweat in front of your date.

5. Visit the National Museum

It may sound a bit nerdy, but the National Museum’s main building is stunning and surprisingly romantic. Stroll hand in hand through its grand halls and exhibits, then head up to the cupola for panoramic city views.

6. Have Dinner in a Romantic Restaurant

Nothing beats a classic candlelit dinner for two. Prague is full of restaurants with enchanting atmospheres, from riverside terraces to elegant fine dining. We recommend the posh Imperial Hotel and its neighbor Next Door for a Michelin-like dinner experience. You can never go wrong with any of the Ambiente restaurants—Brasileiro is excellent for steaks, while Cestr offers refined fine dining. If you prefer a more historical ambiance, check out Café Louvre or the French Restaurant at the Municipal House.

7. Watch the Sunset from Petřín or Letná

For a dreamy end to your day, head to one of Prague’s scenic hilltop parks. Letná Park offers iconic views of the city’s bridges and has a popular beer garden. Petřín Hill is perfect for a romantic walk or a glass of wine with panoramic views of Prague’s skyline.
