7 Great Photo Spots in Prague

In today’s article I want to show you one of my favorite cities, Prague. It’s in my top three together with Rome and London, and for good reason. I will now show you seven great photo spots around the city.

As usual with this article series, this list is by no means exhaustive. After four visits I still haven’t explored all the beautiful views in Prague yet. And every time I return I find something new. So maybe there’ll be another article after a future visit.

1. Charles Bridge

Maybe the most obvious photo location in the city is the famous Charles Bridge. It doesn’t matter if you point your camera east or west when standing on this bridge. The view is always amazing. The multiple towers of the city line up in both directions. For good reason Prague is also called the City of 100 Spires.

2. Petrin Hill

Another spot, from which you have a great view of Prague’s spires, is Petrin Hill - or more accurately halfway up the hill. Here it’s really worth to not take the little rail that also leads up the hill, but to walk instead. The path starts right next to the railway station at Újezd.

3. Old Town Bridge Tower

A thing I love about Prague is that you can climb many of the towers throughout the city. So many of the towers in the previous photo are actually viewpoints themselves. This photo here was taken right from the tower on the eastern end of Charles Bridge. It can get a bit crowded up there. But the views are fantastic.

4. Tower of Old Town Hall

Talking of towers one has to mention the Tower of the Old Town Hall right next to Old Town Square. This tower is one of the highest viewpoints within the city and you should keep a firm grip on your camera while up there. You basically get 360° views and can take beautiful photos in all directions. If you visit in winter the frosty atmosphere adds to the photos even more with steam rising from the chimneys in the city.

5. Powder Tower

Walking further east from Old Town Square you will encounter the Powder Tower. Don’t hesitate to check out the views from up there. Especially during sunset and blue hour when the city lights begin to glow it’s awesome up there.

6. Wenceslas Square

When I’m in Prague I like to visit Wenceslas Square to get one or two of the Prague sausages. I don’t eat meat very often these days, but in Prague I just can’t resist. Besides that there’s also some beautiful architecture to photograph. Here you see the National Museum at night.

7. Eastern shore

The classic view of the Prague castle can be photographed from the eastern shore of the river Moldova, right next to the Karlovy Night club. This is a great spot for sunset photography. If you are lucky and there’s not so much wind, the castle will reflect in the river.

Now I’m interested in your favorite places in Prague. Which viewpoints do I have to visit on my next visit, where are the secret photo spots?
