Guided tour of the Prague Castle
Get to know one of Prague's unmissable sights, where you can find St. Vitus' Cathedral, the Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica and the famous Golden Lane.
Guided tour of the Prague Castle
The tour meets at Malostranska metro station at 1:15 pm, avoiding the morning rush and taking a short ride up to the castle. Our skip the line entry means we'll dive right in, and start exploring the most important complex in the city!
A trip to Prague without visiting the castle would simply be incomplete. This tour takes you around the world’s largest ancient castle complex, starting with the St. Vitus Cathedral. This incredible example of Gothic architecture is home to the tombs of numerous kings of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperors.
Then it's on to the old Royal Palace, where you'll learn of the "defenestrations" (literally throwings out of of the window!): the flashpoint that sparked the Thirty Years War throughout Europe.
Having seen St. George’s Basilica, one of the only surviving Romanesque churches in Prague, the tour heads to Golden Lane - home throughout the centuries to alchemists, goldsmiths and other artisans, and even for a time Prague's most famous son - Franz Kafka.
Then, at 3:45 pm the tour of this essential Prague landmark comes to an end.
