There’s no shortage of unusual, quirky things to do in Prague. In the Czech capital, a combination of rich history and a penchant for alternative culture makes for a wealth of offbeat activities. Culture Trip’s curated list of original tours and experiences take you to the very heart of Prague.

Beyond sampling trdelník, visiting Prague Castle and exploring the Czech capital’s Jewish history, Prague boasts a plethora of alternative experiences for those looking to discover a different side to the city.
