If you are planning to come to Prague with children there are many places which allow them to enjoy the great architecture or just walking in the Old Prague Town just as much as yourselves. The Czech attitude to kids is generally very positive, here are some tips.

- Rent a rowing boat on the Vltava River
- Stromovka Park and ZOO

Puppet Show Tip: There is a puppet theatre that have daily shows for children but all performances are in Czech - Puppet Theatre Jiskra, Klapkova 26, Prague 8 (take tram number 10, 14, 17, 24, or 5 and get off at Ke Stírce). There is also the famous Spejbl and Hurvínek Theatre (Divadlo Spejbla a Hurvínka) - see more at www.spejbl-hurvinek.cz

Go a pedal boating Tip: The Vltava River is the perfect place to spend an hour or two pedals boating with kids, if the weather is nice. We had a great time, pedaling under each bridge, and exploring the river. You can rent pedal boats at the Charles Bridge, Manesuv Bridge and Zoffin Island (on the Stare Mesto side).
