Prague Honeymoon
Those seeking a classic and timeless city holiday experience should consider Prague for a honeymoon. Prague can suit virtually every budget, and experienced travelers will find it very reasonably priced compared with major cities such as London, Paris, New York, etc. Those looking for an easy trip will like that Prague is well-served by many carriers in the major airline alliances.
Once there, you can fall in love with this European gem and indulge in the beautifully preserved historic core. The Czech nation clearly values its historic and cultural legacy, so museums are in abundance with engaging collections. Those on a budget will enjoy the very affordable admission prices (typically only a few dollars admission). Otherwise, it’s the perfect city to just wander, explore, and watch daily life around you. If you are in need of a rest, enjoy an authentic Czech experience at the city’s beer halls offer traditional Czech beers and light meals. Head to the magnificent Wenceslas Square to take in the unfolding of the Czech Republic’s modern and pre-modern history, and cruise down the Vltava to enjoy the night and each other’s company.
There's so much to love about a Prague honeymoon. Here's how to start planning yours.
When to Go
Like much of Europe, the high season for visiting Prague will be during the period from May to September for pleasant, warm late spring-summer weather. Prices and crowds will reflect this. For someone wishing to travel outside this time, consider early-mid December for considerably lower prices and to see the city decked out for the holiday season.
