What to expect
Prague Castle is a seat of the Czech kings and later presidents. It has been an important symbol of the Czech state for more than a thousand years. The castle, one of the largest complexes in the world, is made up of historical palaces, offices, church and fortification buildings, gardens, the great Gothic Cathedral of Saint Vitus and many and picturesque spots. It covers an area of 45 hectares. The panoramic view of Prague Castle is one of the most spectacular in the world. During our tour we will walk through the Prague Castle yards, enter some parts that are free of charge, but we will not enter all the interiors (1/4 of the cathedral is usually Accesible for free, Golden lane is for free after 17:00. (You can either decide to add some extras and extend this basic tour with us, or visit the interiors later on your own.)
Little Quarter Bridge tower
Valuable late Gothic entrance gate to the famous bridge. Enjoy the rich Gothic sculptural decoration including some gargoyles, beasts and even the protecting witch.
Nerudova
This charming street is characterized by ancient burgher houses, mostly now transformed into quaint hotels, restaurants and small shops. Nerudova is a part of the Royal Way of Prague. Nerudova is named after the 19th century Czech writer and journalist Jan Neruda. It is one of the “must see” places of Prague. Enjoy the romantic house signs above the main door e.g: At the Two Suns, Three Little Fiddles, At the Turnip ...
We will promenade across the oldest bridge of Prague, the Charles bridge, decorated with 30 old picturesque statues and the most beautiful gothic bridge tower in Europe. The bridge has been standing since 1357, thanks to - legend says - eggs mixed into the mortar. If you touch the magic five star sign you can make a wish and the power of the saints will help you … Here, you can really breathe in the true atmosphere of Prague, get back into the times of golden Prague. Very romantic!! Maybe you will recognize the scenery from the first Mission Impossible movie. Near the bridge you can also see the area called Prague Venice with the side channel called Devil stream and the famous painted anti-communist John Lennon Wall. At the end of the bridge you can see the gigantic Klementinum, a former Jesuit College which serves as the National Library today.
The extensive grounds of the Clementinum is the third largest Jesuit college in the world. Build in 16th -18th centuries in the Baroque style. In its Astronomical Tower, meteorological measurements have been collected since 1775. The most beautiful hall of the complex is the Baroque Library with beautiful frescoes and historically valuable globes. The Mirror Chapel with its richly designed interior and unique installation of mirrors is a place where classical music concerts take place regularly. (You can either decide add some extras and extend this basic tour, or on your own visit the interiors.)
Staromestske namesti
Strolling through the oldest streets, we will reach the charming Old Town Square, the 3D textbook of many architectural styles. There are many important sights: the baroque, gateau-like St. Nicholas church, the Kinský Palace - the city’s finest rococo facade, the gothic House at the Stone Bell, the spiky-topped Church of Týn and much more. The Square is dominated by the Jan Hus Statue and the Old Town Hall (damaged by Nazis in W.W. II). Everybody just "wow" at the truly amazing Astronomical Clock with the hourly show - 12 apostles appearing in two windows and the skeleton ringing the bell.
Obecni Dum
The most beautiful Art Noveau building of Prague. The Municipal House facade is eye-catching monumental architectural composition. Monumental allegorical figures, displayed all over the facade of the building, which were created by some of the greatest local artists. Anthropomorphical sculptures are accompanied by decor with Art Nouveau floral ornaments as well as other classical architectural elements. It is a civic building that houses Smetana Hall, a celebrated concert venue, where The Prague Spring festival is held.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
