Private car transfer
from Nuremberg to Prague

At the beginning of your journey, we recommend visiting Amberg. It might not be much to look at, but it is the world's smallest hotel, standing at only 8.2 feet. This will give you a unique experience you won't enjoy anywhere else. Afterward, you can drive to the Kladrubsky Monastery. This monastery is one of the world's most treasured sites and is even listed on the World’s Monuments Fund, which specifically looks after sites like these.

We would also recommend sightseeing in Pilsen, the birthplace of the Pilsner beer and home to the world's third-largest synagogue, and Zbiroh, fondly known as “The Chateau of the Three Emperors". These are only a few sites along the way worthy of your attention, and there is much more to see and do in Prague, so chat with your driver and make a list, as you’ll want to visit the city with a game plan.

Those who choose to visit Prague should expect to see its beauty firsthand. This city is home to a rich architectural history that can be evidenced in its churches, palaces, castles, and homes that line the streets. Its countryside is also not something to scoff at; it looks like it was picked from a storybook and splashed against the horizon.

Unsurprisingly, Prague's mix of Baroque and Gothic styles accurately portrays its 1000-year history, which has been tumultuous but has led it to where it is today.

From the Charles Bridge, which can be glimpsed from the Vltava River to the towering presence of Prague Castle, there is much to admire. This castle is much loved in the city and dominates the left bank region from its prime position atop a great hill. We recommend you book a tour if you can. With the castle, river, and bridges out of the way, you can dedicate the rest of your trip to learning more about the city’s lively culture.

The city hosts numerous concerts yearly, and the spring music festival and the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart concert are particular highlights. Then, with the time you have left to spare, you can wander through the winding streets and try street food and fine dining at any of the restaurants in the city. Not only are they welcoming, but they also prepare delicious meals you won’t forget.

While your food is digesting, walk through the UNESCO-certified historic center. You’ll get to see several monuments and artistic flair that will have you reaching for your camera.

Dress comfortably

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Prague's timeworn streets are best explored on foot, so you need to pack comfortable shoes that will allow you to explore this city to your heart's content.

If you're visiting in the winter, dress warmly. Prague can get extremely cold, so pack lots of comfy layers and even wear a few during your travel from Nuremberg to Prague to be ready when you get there.

Avoid opportunistic taxi drivers

Unfortunately, Europe has a bad reputation for having opportunistic taxi drivers. So if possible, you must avoid traveling from Nuremberg to Prague by taxi. Not only will it cost you a small fortune, but it won't be as accommodating as you might expect. Some taxi drivers even bait and switch pricing or have secret devices installed to increase fares!

That’s why it's best to arrange a transfer using a private door-to-door car service like Daytrip. Once you get to Prague, you can take advantage of the exceptional public transportation network.

Don’t be offended by the lack of small talk

Nuremberg, Prague, and the places in between are not big on small talk. So, if you come from a country where small talk is the norm, don’t be offended if no one wants to discuss trivial things like the weather or what they did last weekend. You should also expect people to be abrupt and reserved with strangers. It's a cultural thing, so don’t take it personally.

From Nuremberg to Prague by train

When you take a Nuremberg to Prague journey by train, you must prepare for the trip to take longer than the bus. Yes, you read that correctly. Taking a Nuremberg to Prague train transfer will take four to five hours if you book with Ceske Drahy or Deutsche Bahn, and the cost of tickets can vary. Sometimes you will pay $30, while other times you will pay $60. It will depend on when you book and if you book well enough in advance.

From Nuremberg to Prague by private car transfer service

For many, a private car transfer is the best way to travel from Nuremberg to Prague. It offers several benefits that traveling by bus and train don’t. For example, traveling with a private car service like Daytrip allows you to sightsee places like the fabulous Koneprusy cave, and Karlstejn Castle, which King Charles IV built to house the Czech Crown Jewels!

Daytrip is also door-to-door, which means that for the fee of about $63 per person, you can choose when, where, and what time you travel, which is hugely beneficial. And did we mention it only takes about three hours and 20 minutes?

However, you must note that you must spend almost an entire day at the castle to see everything on offer. That’s why it's an excellent idea to plan in advance which areas of Prague Castle you want to visit most.

We recommend having a look at the cute tiny houses of Golden Lane. It might also be worth your time to wander through the beautifully tended south gardens and the religious St George’s Basilica.

Prague Old Town

The entire Prague Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is chock-full of gorgeous historic buildings. In fact, because Prague is so well-preserved, many period movies and TV shows use it as a stand-in for other cities. Before or after visiting the castle, make your way down to Charles Bridge, across the Vltava, and to the Old Town Square to see the Astronomical Clock. From there, just wander!

Wenceslas Square

Wenceslas Square has incredible historical value. Over the years, it has seen some of the city's most important historical moments, including massive protests. If you love to be immersed in a different culture and be surrounded by people, visiting Wenceslas Square, which has a lively hustle and bustle, will be hugely entertaining.

The square is also where you will find the St. Wenceslas Statue, a popular backdrop for photos for anyone who visits Prague and wants to immortalize the moment. You’ll also likely be happy to learn that this square has its fair share of cafes and shops to explore, and guided walking tours are also available.

Passage Lucerna

The Passage Lucerna is actually a mall, but it's different from any other mall in the world. When you visit the Passage Lucerna, you’ll be greeted by one of the most controversial sculptures in Prague. This sculpture is of a saint riding a horse upside down, and it's hard to miss it. The sculpture was created by David Cerny, which should give you an indication of the art behind it.

Besides the sculpture, this passage is also home to a collection of shops, a 1900s-style cafe that will have you feeling like you are eating a meal back in time, and a rooftop summer bar. It also has a charming old cinema that is worth checking out if you’re a movie buff who loves everything cinema-related. Oh, and if you keep your eyes peeled, you might spot the infamous paternoster!

However, Prague in winter is magical and definitely worth considering. Winter, especially around Christmas, offers a unique charm despite the cold. Temperatures often stay below the mid-30s, and you might even encounter snow. The city has a serene, almost medieval ambiance, while the famous Christmas Markets liven up every square, so it's a favorite time for many people to visit.
