Beyond the Charles Bridge: 5 Charming & Fair Meetup Spots in Prague

Planning a meetup in Prague? 🇨🇿

The default choice is always the same: "Let's meet on the Charles Bridge."

It's a beautiful idea, until you're trying to find your friend in a sea of a thousand other people.

Let's do better. Here are 5 midway spots that are just as magical, but way more chill.

1. Náplavka Riverbank

The Vltava's Living Room

On a sunny day, the banks of the Vltava river come alive.

Find a spot on the stone embankment, grab a beer from a boat-bar, and watch the swans go by.

It's the perfect casual midway point. On Saturdays, there's a great farmers market too.

2. Letná Park Beer Garden

The Best View in Town

Want an epic view *of* the bridges, not *on* a bridge?

Climb the hill to Letná Park. The beer garden offers cheap (and great) Czech beer and an unbeatable panoramic view of the Old Town.

It's a huge space, so it's easy to find a table. A top-tier midway meetup spot.

3. The Vrtba Garden (Vrtbovská zahrada)

A Secret Baroque Gem

Hidden behind an unremarkable door in Malá Strana is one of Europe's most beautiful terraced gardens.

It's quiet, ornate, and feels like you've discovered a secret.

There's a small entrance fee, but it's worth it for a peaceful, beautiful meetup away from the noise.

4. Nový Svět

The "New World" Street

Just a few steps from Prague Castle, this cobblestone street feels like a village from a Brothers Grimm fairytale.

It's unbelievably charming and quiet.

Meet up here, wander the tiny lane, and then find the cozy cafe at the end for a coffee. Pure magic.

5. Riegrovy Sady Park

The Sunset Spot

Located in the Vinohrady neighborhood, this park has a steep hill that faces west.

Every evening, locals gather here with blankets and drinks to watch the sunset over the city skyline.

It's a free, relaxed, and unforgettable midway experience.

Prague is so much more than its busiest landmarks.

Find a fairer, more interesting place to meet with midway@, and experience the city like a local. Na zdraví! ✨
