Top Czech Landmarks to Visit with Kids – Day Trips from Prague with Your Family

1. Prague Castle & the Changing of the Guard

Let’s start at the top. Literally. Prague Castle towers over the city and is considered the largest ancient castle complex in the world. You’ll walk through centuries of history — from medieval courtyards to the jaw-dropping St. Vitus Cathedral.

Family tip: Don’t miss the Changing of the Guard at noon. It’s short, ceremonial, and keeps the kids entertained.

2. Kutná Hora’s Bone Church (Sedlec Ossuary)

Yes, it’s made of real bones. And no, it’s not creepy — it’s actually quite moving. The Sedlec Ossuary is a small chapel decorated with the bones of over 40,000 people, arranged in stunning symmetry.

It’s also just a 1-hour drive from Prague, making it a perfect half-day trip. If you want to pair weird with wonderful, add a visit to St. Barbara’s Cathedral nearby — pure Gothic elegance.

3. Pilsner Urquell Brewery

You don’t have to be a beer lover to enjoy this one (though it helps). Pilsen is the birthplace of the world’s first pale lager — and the brewery tour is one of the most polished, engaging experiences in the country.

What makes it special?

You get to taste unfiltered Pilsner straight from oak barrels underground. It’s a hit with adults, and the history is engaging enough to keep teens interested too.

4. Český Krumlov – A Living Fairy Tale

Imagine a town that looks like it was made for a Disney movie. That’s Český Krumlov. Its winding streets, riverside views, and colorful houses wrap around a majestic castle that includes a Baroque theater and bear moat (yes, really).

It’s a longer drive (about 2.5 hours), but absolutely worth it — and even better when someone else is doing the driving.

5. Czech Folk Traditions & Festivals

Czech culture goes beyond landmarks. If your timing is right, you might catch a local festival — like Easter markets full of hand-painted eggs, or summer village fests with dancing in traditional dress.

Even if you’re not in town during an event, ask your local driver about hidden spots where culture is still alive — like small folk museums or village pubs with live music.
