Travelling with children in the Czech Republic is generally easy. Cities are walkable, public transport is dependable and many restaurants welcome families. These notes help with the practical side.
Transport
- City transport has discounts or free travel for young children. Rules depend on age, so check the official operator tariff.
- Trains are comfortable for families. Check seat reservation options on longer routes. See travelling by train.
- If you rent a car, check the rules for child seats.
Eating out
- Many restaurants have children’s menus or smaller portions.
- Czech food often includes simple dishes that children like, such as fried cheese, potato dishes and soups.
- Tap water is generally drinkable in cities.
Health and safety
- Pharmacies are easy to find. Check opening times for evenings and weekends.
- Carry travel insurance details. See our safety guide.
- Be careful of tick bites in grassy or wooded areas in warm months.
Accommodation
Apartments with kitchens are popular with families. Check lift access, since some historic buildings have many stairs. See where to stay in Prague.
Planning pace
Plan fewer stops with more rest. Pair a major sight with a park or playground. See Prague with Kids.
