Prague’s scenic Old Town Square is flanked by Gothic buildings and the medieval-era Astronomical Clock – the oldest clock of its type in operation in the world. While the square is often crowded, it’s well worth a visit. From here, you can walk over Manes Bridge to admire the cobbled streets and Baroque architecture of Mala Strana. 

For direct access to this beautiful part of the city, stay at Augustine. The hotel occupies several buildings that once formed a 13th-century church and monastery, with modern facilities and decor that complement the ancient frescoes and carvings. Choose the Tower Suite for panoramic views of the city from the monastery’s old observatory.

While Prague’s most famous bridge is a tourist hotspot during daylight hours, by evening the crowds have usually dispersed, leaving the 14th-century structure available for a picture-perfect adventure. From here you can see the Old Town and Prague Castle illuminated at night, framed by the glistening Vltava River.

This graffiti-covered stretch of wall is dedicated to political and artistic expression popularised by the late John Lennon. Pose beside the scene and pay homage to The Beatles musician.

The Mandarin Oriental is on the western bank of the Vltava River, a four-minute walk from the John Lennon Wall. Blending comfort and convenience, the 14th-century hideaway offers a serene escape from the city, while also being at the heart of the action. 

For the panoramic views across the city, hike up to the top of Letna Park, which overlooks the Vltava River and Prague Castle. If you have the opportunity, visit this park at sunset when the city looks its best.

A slightly alternative take on Prague’s city sights is the Dancing House (also known as ‘Ginger and Fred’), a unique structure built in 1992, which consists of two towers made of stone and glass. The new-Baroque building was a collaborative project between architects Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry, who rejuvenated Prague’s crumbling riverside.

Stay in the Four Seasons Hotel Prague for direct access to some of Prague’s finest pieces of architecture. Admire the old charm of the Astronomical Clock before taking a 20-minute stroll down the riverside to reach the Dancing House.
