Is Prague good for kids? Yes, and this one-day Prague itinerary with kids shows why. You see the castle, Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock, then add the things kids remember: a giant moving head, an arcade with simulators and dinner served by model trains.
Take Tram 22 up to Prague Castle, ride it back down to Malá Strana and cross Charles Bridge into the Old Town. After the Astronomical Clock and a Czech lunch, walk to Kafka's head and LEVELS, and finish at Výtopna on Wenceslas Square.
Prague Castle to Wenceslas Square
Allow 6-7 hours. One tram ride downhill from the castle, then everything is on foot.
Open route in Google MapsTake the tram: Tram 22 from Pražský hrad to Malostranské náměstí, then an 8 min walk to the bridge, about 20 min.
Walking takes 18 min (1.3 km).
Stop 2 · Attraction · Historic bridge
Cross the bridge toward the Old Town, looking at the statues and the river views.
Tip: Go back to the tram stop and take Tram 22 downhill to Malostranské náměstí, then walk about 8-10 min to the bridge.

BookBefore you go
Good to know
- Allow 6-7 hours
- This route fills most of the day. The only ride is the tram down from the castle; the rest is a short walk between stops.
- Cobblestones everywhere
- The Old Town is cobbled and the castle area is hilly, so a sturdy stroller or a baby carrier works better than a light buggy.
- Reserve Výtopna
- The model-train restaurant is popular with families. Book a table for the end of the day.
