Things to do in Prague when it rains aren’t just limited to hiding in cafés or shopping malls. The Czech capital offers countless cozy, fun, and surprising spots where you can stay dry and still have an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or wondering what to do with kids in Prague on a rainy day – these 9 ideas will brighten even the gloomiest weather.
1. Back in Time Prague
The immersive museum Back in Time transports you to the era of Princess Libuše, the court of Charles IV, or the heart of the Prague Uprising. Through 5D cinema, holograms, cinematic scenes, and scents, you’ll become part of eight pivotal moments in Czech history. Each room tells a different story: one moment you’ll fly with a dragon above Bílá hora, the next you’ll dive beneath the Vltava in a historic submarine. At the end, the Hall of Fame awaits, filled with legendary figures from Masaryk to Karel Gott.
