How to avoid the worst of it today

The Charles Bridge Dawn At sunrise the statues and the mist are yours; the crowd is the only queue here, and it sleeps.
Prague Castle At opening Security first, cathedral next, Golden Lane last; or arrive at four as the groups drain.
Kampa island Midday One street off the royal route, the Wallenstein garden and Petrin are breathing.
The beer halls Evening Tank pilsner in the pubs the corridor never reaches.

Where the crowds are

The Royal Route — bridge to square: One medieval corridor carries nearly the whole visitor city.
The castle's security gates: The hill's metering point, slowest mid-morning.
The clock corner on the hour: The strike show's ten-deep semicircle.

Quiet places in Prague

Kampa & the Wallenstein garden: Island lawns and baroque peacocks beside the crush.
Vysehrad: The other castle, and almost always empty.
