Best rooftops in Prague
Prague, often nicknamed the city of a hundred spires, is a capital that offers panoramic views. Between the towers, bell towers and parks, there are many places from which you can admire Prague from above. Unfortunately, these places are often overrun by tourists and it is difficult to find a place to admire the view. For those who want a quieter place to enjoy a drink while taking in the sunset, here are our top 5 best rooftop bars in Prague.
Lucerna
The Pasáž Lucerna is one of the must-see places in Prague’s New Town. Besides housing a beautiful cinema, it also houses Café Lucerna and the Lucerna Music Bar. But the real jewel is on the top floor. Take the amusing paternoster, a continuous lift, to get there. Open on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays from 3pm until sunset, the rooftop terrace offers a wonderful view of the Czech capital in a relaxed, local atmosphere. Admission: CZK 100 (approx. EUR 4).
T-Anker
Located on the top floor of the Kotva department store, the T-Anker terrace offers a beautiful view over the rooftops of Prague’s Old Town. Apart from a wide selection of Czech beers, you can also enjoy lunch or dinner under one of the wooden pergolas. At lunchtime, the restaurant offers daily menus that attract many locals who work in the surrounding area.
Restaurace Coda
Located in the Malá Strana district, the terrace of the Coda restaurant offers breathtaking views! Within easy reach, the dome of St Nicholas Church looms up in front of you, along with the many brick-coloured roofs. Once the sun goes down, the illuminated monuments surrounding the terrace will enchant you on a pleasant summer evening.
Glass Bar
The Glass Bar is housed in one of Prague’s most original buildings: the Dancing House, also known as Ginger & Fred. Located on the top floor and boasting a rooftop terrace, it offers breathtaking views of Prague Castle, Petřín Hill and the National Theatre.
Terasa U Prince
The terrace of this hotel located on the Old Town Square is certainly the best known in Prague. And with good reason! Right in the heart of the historic centre, it overlooks Prague’s Old Town and the surrounding area and offers a marvellous view of all the must-see monuments in Prague, including Charles Bridge and Our Lady before Týn. You’ll pay a little more for your drink than elsewhere, but the view is definitely worth the diversions.
If you would like to visit these monuments accompanied by a private guide, we recommend a tour of the Old Town and Malá Strana, including admission to the Charles Bridge tower and a coffee break.
And, for a moment of pure relaxation on a Prague rooftop, take advantage of an outdoor jacuzzi, which you can privatise just for you! You’ll also be offered a bottle of prosecco, which you can enjoy while taking in the view of Prague Castle. An unusual and unique activity to try out during your stay in Prague.
