Valentine’s Day is approaching, and Prague offers many ways to celebrate without expensive restaurant bookings.

From walks with city views to cultural events and sports activities, couples can plan a memorable day without stretching their budget.

Quiet places for a romantic walk

Some of Prague’s most appealing Valentine’s locations remain free, near Prague Castle, offers small historic houses and minimal tourist traffic. The street is often chosen for photos thanks to its preserved character.

Vojanovy sady in Malá Strana are among Prague’s oldest gardens and remain calm even in winter months.

Vyšehrad provides open views over the Vltava River and the city skyline. Many couples choose sunset hours, often bringing simple snacks or hot drinks instead of booking restaurants.

Active dates for couples

For those who prefer movement over candlelight dinners, several Valentine’s events are scheduled across Prague.

The Valentine’s Run in Stromovka takes place on February 14, 2026, starting at 11:00 a.m. near the Industrial Palace. The seven-kilometre route costs 100 CZK to enter, with part of the fee donated to charity.

Walking enthusiasts can join the annual Valentine’s march organised by Trilobit. The event runs the same day, with departures between 8:00 and 11:00 a.m. from Arbes Square. The route covers about 10 kilometres and ends near Jinonice, where participants receive refreshments.

Culture without high prices

Prague’s cultural venues offer several affordable options for couples.

Kino Aero will screen the film Dirty Dancing on February 14 at 3:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost around 190 CZK, considerably less than a typical Valentine’s dinner in the city centre.

At the Botanical Garden in Troja, winter access costs about 180 CZK, or 120 CZK for students. Visitors can walk through the Japanese Garden and see illuminated glass installations displayed as part of the Crystal Garden exhibition, scheduled until mid-February.

An interactive exhibition known as The Pop Up also targets couples seeking unusual experiences. Visitors pass through themed rooms designed for photos and playful activities. Tickets cost about 295 CZK.
