Discover Prague's History Through Its Best Museums

Prague is a very historic city and it is no surprise that there are plenty of museums to visit during your stay. After arriving on the Prague airport transfers, make sure you arrange to see some of the following museums to learn more of the city's fascinating history.

1. Charles Bridge Museum

Charles Bridge is one of the city's most famous attractions, but you should make sure you take the time to visit the Charles Bridge Museum as well. Here you can find out all about the famous bridge that dates back to the 14th century, including information about its structure and how it was constructed over the years. There are interesting models on display as well as information on the tools and materials that were needed to build it. You may pass the bridge on your Prague airport transfers but you should return to explore further.

2. The Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum consists of a number of historic attractions that you can visit on the same ticket, all of which provide an insight into the history of the Jewish Quarter. The Old Jewish Cemetery is the highlight, but you can also visit the Old Jewish Town Hall and a number of synagogues while you're there.

3. The Museum Of Communism

Communism has played a large role in the recent history of the city, and you can find out all about it when you visit the Museum Of Communism. Find out what life was like in Prague under Communist rule, and see a wide range of artefacts, including military items and even a school classroom. You can also watch films in the projection room.

4. The National Museum

The National Museum is housed in two buildings (you may pass them on your Prague airport transfers) and it contains a wealth of exhibits that provide a fascinating insight into the history of the city, and the country as a whole. Located in Wenceslas Square, it is easy to find, and inside you will find a range of historic artefacts that will provide you with a good few hours of exploring.

5. Czech Museum Of Music

Housed in the 17th century St Mary Magdalene church, this fascinating museum contains thousands of artefacts related to the history of music. Here you will find interesting collections of iconography, manuscripts and more, as well as historic instruments. Many temporary exhibitions are also held here throughout the year, so find out what's on when you are in the city.

Prague's museums are some of its most important attractions, so try to make sure you see some of the best before you leave. Your Prague airport transfers driver will be happy to point out the best museums as you pass, but you should plan to visit at least a few of them in order to find out more about the history and culture of this fascinating city.
