Walking Along the Vltava At Night
Along with enjoying the beautiful city during the day, you can enjoy walking along the river Vltana, which is especially enjoyable during this time of the day, as you can see not just the twinkling city lights, but also the addition of glowing Christmas lights. We promise this magical feeling will warm you up and make the chilly walk worth it. For an enjoyable walk you can start at the Prague Dancing House and walk all the way to the Charles Bridge.

The Top of Charles Bridge Tower
Speaking Charles Bridge, you should absolutely make the trip up the Charles Bridge Tower for another incredible view of the entire city. However, during this time of the year it’s important to keep in mind that the sun does set pretty early, and so you should try to visit before 4pm. You can also time it properly to make it for sunset!

Warm Up With Svařák
Of course, walking around during this time of the day is definitely a lot colder than visiting in the spring, but a great way to combat the cold is with Svařák, which is delicious mulled wine that’s similar to German gluhwein. Svařák includes notes of citrus to balance out the sweetness, and it is absolutely delicious.
