Pick a view with either Prague webcam here. They give you a chance to see the city before you arrive and check local weather conditions.
Each webcam gives a different perspective of the historical center of Prague. The cameras are updated every few minutes so please refresh your browser to see changes.
This Prague webcam is looking northwest. You can see Charles Bridge with Malá Strana and Prague Castle in the background.

Malá Strana (Little Quarter) is my favorite area of Prague. It's got the most ambience and charm - offering little restaurants and cafes and fewer crowds than Old Town.
This webcam looks down the famous Nerudova Street. This street is lined with restaurants, small hotels, embassies and shops. To the left the road bends up to Prague Castle. Along this path are incredible views of the whole city. And to the right, the street goes down the hill emptying into the narrow streets of Malá Strana.

You can also see the dome of St. Nicholas' Church in the upper right corner. You can climb to the top for more spectacular views of the area.
This webcam looks from one of the towers on Charles Bridge. The bridge is below in the foreground and Old Town is in the background.
I highly recommend paying the small fee to climb this tower (or the opposite one) for great views and photo opportunities. I have a few more tips for experiencing the bridge here.

Please note: If a Prague webcam is off-line, try these high-res Prague web cams.
These pictures of Prague give you more of an idea of what Prague is like. Don't get stuck on the just main sights :)
