3-Hour Tour of Alchemy and Mysteries of Prague Castle

Your adventure in Prague at night begins as the crowds lessen and it gets darker. Your guide will take you through streets filled with legends and history, beginning at the Old Town Square. Take a private tour that takes you off the beaten path.

During your three-hour tour, you'll go to Prague Castle after the crowds and lines have vanished. Visit the monastery where holy beer was once made by monks for the king. Explore the monastery, the New World, Prague Castle, King's Vineyard, and Charles Bridge at your own leisure.

The tour will begin at the Old Town Square, where Prague's history began. From there, move to Paris Street, Prague's most expensive street. Paris Street was once part of the Jewish Ghetto. You will have the opportunity to learn about Rudolph II and the reasons he chose Prague as his home here. Move on to the synagogue, where Golem, the Ghetto's protector, is said to be hidden.

You can stop at the intriguing corner window that looks out onto the charming underworld of the Old Town as you walk toward the Manes Bridge. You will suddenly arrive at a location where alchemists once carried out experiments if you turn the corner.

The stunning views of Prague will take your breath away as soon as you cross the bridge. Tram up the hill to the Strahov Monastery, built in the 12th century. The Hole to Hell will be visible as you descend to the Prague Castle. Continue past the Marian Pillar until you reach Prague Castle's front gate.

The breathtaking view of Prague Castle and the three spires of St. Vitus Cathedral is a particular highlight. Visit Wallenstein Palace, the St. Wencelaus vineyards from the tenth century, and the medieval Powder Tower.
