Prague Castle 3-Hour Walking Tour
The skyline and history of the Czech capital are dominated by Prague Castle. It is still awe-inspiring and the largest medieval castle in the world, having towered over the city since the 9th century. On this three-hour walking tour of the castle, which is also known as Pražský Hrad, you will discover dozens of secret corners and a plethora of surprises.
Generations of talented architects contributed to the remarkably harmonious collection of distinct styles, which culminated in the forgotten genius of Jože Plečnik in the 20th century. Let your knowledgeable guide bring to life the myths of Rudolf II's court, Kafka's nightmares, and the actual struggles of the Velvet Revolution.
You will also go to Malá Strana, which is full of former nobility palaces. To get the best city views, go beyond the castle gates and through picturesque Hradany. The tour will conclude in Prague Castle Gardens with a view of the Old Town after visiting places like the Strahov Monastery and Brewery, Wallenstein Palace, St. George's Basilica, and the Deer Moat.
