    Very experienced guide. Also very patient and flexible, while still keeping the group together and the tour within the time frame. Wish we could have visited the royal tombs, but understand why that was not possible. The information and surroundings really brought Prague's history into perspective.
  • Explore Prague Castle’s highlights

    Your adventure begins at the Malostranská metro station, where you'll meet your guide. Board a scenic tram ride up to Prague Castle, enjoying beautiful city views as you ascend. Once there, skip the lines and delve into the castle complex with your expert guide, who can unveil its secrets in English, Italian, German, Spanish, or French. In the Old Royal Palace, see the Vladislav Hall, the very site of the infamous Defenestration of Prague that sparked the Thirty Years’ War. Step inside the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral and look out for the stained glass windows and 14th-century mosaic. See the tombs of revered figures like St. Wenceslas and Charles IV, learning about their significance in Czech history.

Admire the fragments of ancient frescoes and ascend the double staircase, where the remains of St. Ludmila rest.

Discover the lives of artists and goldsmiths who once resided here, including the legendary Franz Kafka. Throughout your tour, insightful commentary from your guide will bring the castle complex to life, revealing hidden stories and fascinating facts, like the legend of alchemists seeking gold within the Golden Lane's walls.
