Vodatent at Triocamp Praha

Presumably you’ll be wanting to pop in to Prague: as many times as possible is preferable, given the lengthy list of things to see and do. The fine people of UNESCO have put the city on their World Heritage List, and with good reason, as it’s stuffed with historic and cultural things to do. If you’ve just got a short visit, focus on the big sights: the castle, Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square and St Vitus Cathedral. Vastly preferable, of course, is to stretch out your city time over a few days, giving space to wander through the Mala Strana (Old Town), take a look at the Beatles-themed Lennon wall or climb Petrin Hill. Obviously, you’ll be wanting to stop for several coffees, local beers and perhaps the odd pork knuckle along the way too... Away from the historic centre, Prague Zoo (10 minutes’ drive) is a popular pick for those with kids in tow; alternatively, leave the city behind completely for riverside rambles, trips to Terezin Concentration Camp (half an hour) and 14th-century Karlštejn Castle (50 minutes), or a sweet day checking out the gingerbread workshops of Pardubice (an hour and 15 minutes).
