The fireworks display takes centre stage in the New Year celebrations in Prague. It is a spectacle to behold. The best views are from the main square in the Old Town and Wenceslas Square<\/a>. If one prefers a quiet time away from the crowd to enjoy the display, Charles Bridge or any of Prague\u2019s 14 bridges is better.<\/span> Petrin Hill, the riverbanks, and the wall of Kampa Park also provide a good view. However, the grand firework display happens on January 1st at 6 PM, while on the eve of the New Year, amateur fireworks are set off by locals and event organizers. The sky lighting up above the Prague Castle is a sight to behold.<\/p>\n

If one wants to get out of the party mode and spend some quiet time before the fabulous fireworks show begins on January 1st, going around Prague to imbibe some history and culture of the Czech Republic<\/a> is a good idea. One can visit the Karlstejn Castle, where the crown jewels and the like are stored. This medieval castle holds a Guinness Book Record for being the largest coherent castle in the world. It was rebuilt in the Gothic style by Emperor Charles IV. The Castle is open from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

There is a treetop walkway near the Lipno Dam, and a walk is organized every January 1st. The walk gives an incredible view of the Alps and peaceful air. One can enjoy the serene beauty and sunset before returning for the fireworks.<\/p>\n

3. Strolling Around Old Town Square<\/h3>\n

Standing at 63.5 m on the left bank of the Vltava River, this iconic architectural masterpiece offers staggering views of the entire Prague city from its rooftop. To enjoy the views, one has to climb about 299 steps to the top of the tower.<\/p>\n

If you feel tired while on your way to the summit, don’t worry; there are plenty of benches to take a break. Also, one can take the Segway Tour to skip climbing the steps. On the top of the tower, you will have plenty of attractions like a tiny version of the Eiffel Tower, St Michael\u2019s Church and a wooden building from Ukraine.<\/p>\n
