The Best Places to Propose in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is a disgustingly romantic city, which makes it a great destination to get down on one knee and pop the question. If you can hold off on proposing in the first corner of town where there’s a busker playing the accordion, then you can craft the perfect moment in one of many stunning sights around town. The key is finding a place that is beautiful but isn’t full of tourist crowds. (Yes, this means that Charles Bridge and Old Town Square are out of the question.) So what are the most beautiful and intimate places where you can propose in Prague? Let me take you there.

Zizkov’s National Monument provides a great bird’s eye view of the city and is usually sparsely occupied. The giant monolithic monument can be reached from one of dozens of interweaving trails. Once at the peak, there are multiple viewpoints around the monument’s edge that give you a view across the river, north to Karlin and south to Vinohrady. It’s a great place to watch the sun set and an easy location to steal a moment to propose.

The area around Charles Bridge is a hotbed of tourist activity, especially on the Old Town side. If you’re enamored with the idea of proposing in view of Charles Bridge, your best bet is to do it from Kampa Island, which is just under the bridge on the castle side. You can reach the park and the water’s edge by walking about a third of the way across the bridge and taking the staircase down. Most tourists keep going all the way across the bridge so you’ll avoid the huge crowds. Boats dock in the area and unless there’s a special event going on nearby, your spectators are more likely to be swans and ducks than people. ......
