5. Save Money With a Tourist Pass

There are currently two types of pass in Prague – all-inclusive and prepackaged.
The all-inclusive pass includes admission to dozens of popular attractions for a specific amount of time (2, 3, or 4 days).
Prepackaged passes include specific attractions and tours for one flat price.
Here are some of the best attractions included with Prague tourist passes:
- Prague Zoo
- Prague Castle
- Old Town Hall
- Jewish Museum
- National Museum
- Petřín Observation Tower
- Basilica of St. Peter & St. Paul
Some tourist passes also include skip-the-line admission at certain locations, allowing you to save both time and money.
No matter which option you choose, you should be able to save at least 25% - 50% off general admission prices.
For more details about how to use these services, please read our post covering Prague tourist passes.
6. Take a Ride Down the Vltava River
Spring is still around the corner, but March in Prague is beginning to escape winter temperatures.
This means it will be a bit more comfortable to get some sightseeing in from the water!
A very popular way to see the city is from the River Vltava. Dinner cruises are a great option for enjoying a buffet and seeing Prague lit up at night.
A cheaper option is a 50-minute boat cruise during the day.
7. Take the Family Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Golfing
If there's a cold or rainy day during March, there are still plenty of activities to do with the entire family!
Head inside to Prague Golf and Games for a round of UV light mini-golf.
What's a better bonding activity for your travel buddies than some friendly, glow-in-the-dark competition?

8. Visit Charles Bridge
The oldest bridge in Prague is still a popular way for pedestrians to cross the Vltava River.
Construction began in 1357 under the orders of King Charles IV, and it has survived and been renovated multiple times.
March is a great time to visit since the bridge is usually packed with tourists during the summer and fall.
For the quietest atmosphere and a great view of the city lit up at night, we suggest visiting after dark.

9. Visit the Theatre
For a few select dates during March, you'll be able to catch a performance at the Prague National Theatre.
Productions are tagged if they are in English or if they are family-friendly.

You could also do a Mozart Concert with 3-Course Dinner or see Swan Lake. The latter is quick to sell out, so be sure to book your ticket soon.
10. Take a Bus Tour of Prague
It's easy to see a lot of Prague in a short amount of time with the various bus tours available to take!
The most popular are the hop-on-hop-off tours that allow you to spend time at the sights most interesting to you.
Each bus tour comes with commentary available in multiple languages.
If you'd rather spend your time exploring a specific landmark, why not take a guided tour of Prague Castle?

The markets will be open between March 16th-April 7th.
