Details

Under the Charles Bridge tower in the heart of the Old Town, you will meet your tour guide to begin. Take a romantic stroll across the world-famous medieval bridge to begin your tour. Before taking a tram and taking in the stunning views on the way up to Prague Castle, take in a breath-taking view of Prague Castle from the river.

The guide will provide you with additional suggestions for your individual visit to Prague Castle, as well as a brief overview of the castle's history and current use. You will receive your ticket after your questions are answered, allowing you to explore the Castle's interiors at your own pace.

First, you can pay a visit to the European Gothic masterpiece St. Vitus Cathedral. Don't miss the stunning 14th-century Last Judgment Mosaic above the Cathedral's southern entrance on your way to the Old Royal Palace. Next, take in the Romanesque architecture of St. George's Basilica, the oldest church still standing in the Castle. After that, take a longer walk to reach the picturesque Golden Lane, which is lined with a lot of tiny houses that were built in the late 16th century for the royal guards. You can enter each of the four attractions once with your two-day ticket.

Important information:

• Please bear in mind: on special occasions (like state visits), parts of the Castle may be closed to visitors. St. Vitus Cathedral is closed every Sunday morning (church services). The Old Royal Palace is closed for several days around October 28 (state awards ceremony), though the interiors are open 9:00–17:00 during the hot season (April — October) and 9:00–16:00 during the cold season (November — March).

• Alcohol and drugs are not allowed

The tour guide was very nice and fun. A very bad point was the starting time of the tour being wrong. We spent a whole hour in the cold and it was raining juat waiting for someone to show up at the meeting point. When we called the agency emergency number they just told us to wait more 15 minutes. We only found out that we should wait for a whole hour when other guide came and after asked for help, called somewhere else to check.
