  • Morning

    Start your day with a brisk climb up the New Castle Steps, and time your ascent to hear the 10am Castle Guard brass quartet. Leaving the castle behind you, walk west through Hradčanské náměstí. As you pass the Schwarzenberg Palace, check to see if the reinstallation of the Military History Museum is complete – if so, take a look at the exhibitions of weapons and uniforms (Hradčanské náměstí 2 220 202020 Open daily Adm).

    Now walk up Loretánská to Loretánské náměstí, where you’ll find the vast Černín Palace staring down at the lovely Loreto (see The Loreto). Explore the latter and its odd gallery of saints before lunch next door at Restaurant u Lorety .

    Afternoon

    Exit Loretánské náměstí past the Capuchin monastery and follow Černínská downhill, pausing on Nový Svět. Coo over the street’s piebald houses and follow Kanovnická back to Hradčanské náměstí.

    The rest of the afternoon will be taken up with a tour of the unmissable Prague Castle , St Vitus’s Cathedral , and the myriad of other attractions in the castle complex.

    To end the day, find your way back to Loretánské náměstí 1 and the famed pub U Černého vola for a pickled sausage and a glass of beer.
