Prague has been ranked among the top cities in the world for pedestrian exploration, recognised for its compact historic centre and architectural richness.
What happened
Prague’s medieval street plan survived the wars and urban renewal schemes that reshaped most European cities.
Within a few square kilometres, a walker can cross from Gothic to Baroque to Art Nouveau architecture.
Charles Bridge, built in the 14th century, is crossed by thousands of people every day and offers one of the finest urban walks in Europe.
Neighbourhoods like Vinohrady and Zizkov are filled with cafes, bookshops and tree-lined streets that reward exploration.
Why it is good news
A walkable city is a healthy city. Prague’s recognition reflects decades of preserving a historic centre that was never demolished and rebuilt at car scale.
