Prague offers many photogenic, romantic places for couple photography. As a tourist or travel photographer, you mightn’t know where to go first, because the list is a bit long. We’ve picked out the 5 romantic places in Prague and the best couple photography locations that we like the most.
1. Kampa
Kampa Island lies in the Lesser Town district of Prague 1. It’s one of the most charming places in the city, appreciated by many local and foreign photographers. Walking through the streets with beautiful historical houses, you can discover such beautiful places as Čertovka so-called Prague Venice or the breathtaking view of Charles Bridge.
Highlights: Čertovka, Velkopřevorský mill, the narrowest street in Prague-U Lužického semináře.
Bonus tip: As one of the most popular places, Kampa is often crowded therefore we always go there for photography during the sunrise when the town is asleep.
2. Charles bridge
Charles Bridge, walked on by many, photographed by tons, loved by all. It’s not unknown to travellers, as it’s the most sought-after place in Prague. The bridge is considered one of the most beautiful Gothic buildings in the world.
Two impressive towers with arches frame the sides of the Charles Bridge and add to its beauty. No wonder this place is always busy and even in the morning, you’ll find photographers strolling around and taking wedding photos.
Highlights: Old Town bridge tower, Lesser Town bridge tower, baroque statues, stairs up to Charles Bridge, views of Prague castle, and views of the National Theatre.
Bonus tip: Just like Kampa we recommend coming in the morning if you wish to avoid crowds and catch photos without people.
3. Vyšehrad
Vyšehrad, a less visited yet not less beautiful. You can find it just a little more than 3 km southeast of Prague Castle on the banks of the Vltava River. This picturesque spot offers 360° panoramic views of the city. There are many great photo opportunities in Vyšehrad, such as the park, the winery and the historic walls, but the most breathtaking is the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul. The intricate design of its door is magical.
Highlights: Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, views of Vltava and Prague Castle, Rotunda of St. Martin, Vyšehrad Medieval Well, Park.
Bonus tip: Beautiful and more or less calm all over the day.
4. Stromovka
We’ve many beautiful parks in Prague, but Stromovka is the perfect place for a romantic photoshoot. Once a royal place founded by one of the Czech rulers, it was transformed into a beautiful park with numerous ponds and hidden places. With an area of 95 ha, it’s by far the largest of Prague’s parks. Green meadows, ponds and an English park – this is Stromovka!
Highlights: Green Lake, Rudolf’s lake, Royal hall, Fountain Stromovka, Governor’s Summer House.
5. Divoká šárka
Divoká Šárka is a nature reserve on the northwestern outskirts of Prague. Do you like photoshoots in nature? Then you’re lucky that it’s not too far from the city centre. It’s many breathtaking views and offers various hiking opportunities and definitely one of the best couple photography locations.
If you like your photo shoots to be a bit more adventurous, this is the perfect place for you. Photographers have plenty of time here to interact with their clients. This area is beautiful at any time of day, but we especially love it at sunrise and sunset.
Highlights: Šárka viewpoint, Šestákov rock, valley, Džbán lake.
Bonus tip: The easiest connection from the center:
