Planning your visit
Kingdom of Railways in Prague runs an enormous model railway — over 459 square metres with around 80 train sets operating simultaneously through detailed reconstructions of Czech regions and landmarks.
The modelling is the point: recognisable buildings, terrain and townscapes from across the country, with day-night lighting cycles and moving road vehicles alongside the trains. Interactive buttons let visitors trigger movements, which is what holds children.
Model railways of this scale are unusual, and the operation involved in keeping dozens of trains running without collision is itself part of the interest.
Czech railways have a strong national following, and the country's dense rail network and preserved steam operations sustain a substantial hobbyist culture.
It sits in Smíchov. Allow ninety minutes. The main booking is an entry ticket. Current availability is listed below.
