But before you book your tickets, here’s all you need to know.
Madame Tussauds Prague: fun and surprising visit
Madame Tussauds is a concept. There are several museums around the world. The aim is to exhibit wax statues of famous people and characters. There’s always a mix of international stars, historical figures and local celebrities.
At Prague’s Madame Tussauds, you’ll have more fun than just visiting a wax museum.
You can not only admire all the wax statues up close, but also take a selfie next to them. For this reason, the visit is always best when the museum is not crowded.
Visit Madame Tussauds in the off-peak season or at opening time, and you’ll have time to take lots of photos. Do it on a midsummer afternoon, and you may have to wait five minutes per statue.

Opinions on Madame Tussauds Prague: a nice museum, but not the best!
The first thing I noticed was that the museum is quite small. This is confirmed inside. There are wax statues, but not as many as I would have liked. After that disappointment, I set about discovering the statues.
If I’m not a crazy photographer in museums, I change completely in a place like Madame Tussauds. I liked being able to take selfies with the statues, although I must admit I had trouble recognizing some of the figures, especially those representing Czech personalities I didn’t know. Perhaps this is an area for improvement: provide a short biography next to each statue to help foreign visitors better understand who these characters are.
The museum is well organized, but I found it lacking in variety compared to other Madame Tussauds museums, such as the one I visited in Las Vegas. Fortunately, the presence of statues like Stalin is really surprising. One might even say frightening when you think of what he did…
As for the entrance fee, I understand that maintaining a museum of this nature represents a cost, but I find it too high, especially considering the size of the museum and the number of statues.
I should also mention that when it’s crowded, it’s difficult to take photos.
In conclusion, did I enjoy my visit to Madame Tussauds Prague? Overall, yes. It was an interesting experience and I had a great time. But would I recommend this museum to everyone? Probably not. I think it’s especially worth a visit if you’re a big fan of Madame Tussauds museums or if you want to discover some Czech figures. Otherwise, there are plenty of other cultural sites in Prague that might interest you more.
