Prague photography guide
Sunrise on Charles Bridge, sunset from Letná, night reflections by the river. This guide shows you the best photo spots in Prague – with exact locations, timing tips and ideas for both phones and cameras.
Shooting in Prague is much easier when you don’t drag suitcases with you. Voyli.one collects your luggage at your hotel or Airbnb and brings it later to Prague Airport.
Prague is photogenic from almost every angle – but crowds, wrong timing and bad light can ruin even the best views. To get photos that feel like they’re from a magazine, focus on three things:
Below are the best photo spots in Prague with practical tips for each.
Best time: sunrise, all year
Classic view with statues and Prague Castle in the background. Sunrise is the only time when you can have the bridge almost to yourself.
Best time: golden hour & sunset
View of the river with multiple bridges in one frame. Great for wide shots and silhouettes at sunset.
Best time: morning, late afternoon
Wide square with a panoramic view over roofs and the city. Great place for portraits and big cityscapes.
Best time: late afternoon, blue hour
Romantic area near Charles Bridge with reflections on the water.
Best time: early morning or late night
Tiny streets with views of the Astronomical Clock and Týn Church.
Best time: late afternoon
Underrated spot with calm atmosphere and views over the river, railway bridge and city.
If you have just one full day and want a strong set of photos, here’s a simple plan:
If you have an evening flight, combine this itinerary with a luggage transfer from your hotel to the airport.

The less weight you carry, the longer you’ll actually enjoy shooting.
Yes, Prague is generally safe. Just keep an eye on your gear in crowded areas, don’t leave bags unattended and use common sense – especially at night. For more details, see our Prague luggage safety guide.
Small tripods are usually okay if you don’t block paths. Be respectful of other people and avoid big setups in the busiest times.
Spring and autumn offer great light and colours. Winter brings moody fog and Christmas lights. Summer has the longest days but also the most tourists.
Shoot at sunrise, use side streets, look for high viewpoints and avoid main squares during peak midday hours. Travelling light also helps you move faster between spots.
