1) Go Sightseeing
One of the easiest ways of learning all about the city and its history is by taking a pay-what-you-wish walking tour.
There are currently free walking tours covering the Old Town, Jewish Quarter, Prague Castle, and Charles Bridge. You can also take tours of famous sites related to WW2.
Searching Availability...
Also, hop-on-hop-off bus tours of Prague are a popular option.
Another interesting way of seeing Prague is to take a cruise down the Vltava River.
If you can't make it to a guided tour, consider an audio tour instead. Anyone with a smartphone and earbuds can enjoy these outings whenever they want!
While it does get chilly at night, the wintry atmosphere of November makes this Ghost and Legends tour of Old Town perfectly spooky!
2) See a Ballet Performance
There will be two excellent opportunities to see a Ballet in Prague this November.
The first opportunity is the Best of Swan Lake performed at the Hybernia Theatre on November 6th.
This is a truncated version of the story, but it does feature the most notable scenes from Swan Lake.
If you're feeling more festive, the first performance of The Nutcracker will be taking place at the Hybernia Theatre on November 28th.
There will also be several chances to see this ballet in December.

3) Go to a Christmas Market
It isn’t quite Christmastime, but the Christmas Market at Prague Castle opens on November 26th, 2022, and runs through the first week of January 2023.
And if you’re in town the last weekend of the month, the rest of the city’s Christmas Markets will open for business then, too.
You’ll be able to find the two main spaces in the Castle market.
One holds the food and beverage vendors - we recommend trying the warm mead or hot chocolate to keep fend off the cold temperatures as you browse the other stalls of handmade souvenirs and festive decorations.
If you want to learn all about all of Prague’s Christmas markets, this article will give you a full rundown.
Seeing the Christmas markets are both a great family-friendly activity and a great place to explore after dark.
(4) Warm Up with Traditional Czech Food
November means colder weather, more layers, and searching out some warm comfort food. Czech cuisine can definitely deliver on that last point.
Find a local pub for some delicious roasted pork, locally known as vepro knedlo zelo, or cesnecka - garlic soup topped with a raw egg.
If you're in Prague at the end of November, be sure to check out the warm, sweet treats on sale at the Christmas markets.

5) Enjoy a Blacklight Theatre Performance
Blacklight theatre, and telling stories through visuals and body language, has become a staple in Prague’s theatre community.
These performances are great for audiences of all ages and nationalities, as they are nonverbal and therefore without a language barrier.
The WOW Show Blacklight Theatre will be hosting a performance every Sunday and Wednesday in November 2022.
If you just can't get enough of the bright and vivid colors during these shows, consider following up your theatre experience with a round of Black Light Mini Golf!
