Prague Castle in Detail

The Prague Castle, an ancient symbol of the Czech lands, is the most significant Czech monument and one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic. The Prague Castle was most likely founded in around 880 by Prince Bořivoj of the Přemysl Dynasty (Přemyslovci). According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Prague Castle is the largest coherent castle complex in the world, with an area of almost 70,000 m². A UNESCO World Heritage site, it consists of a large-scale composition of palaces and ecclesiastical buildings of various architectural styles, from Roman-style buildings from the 10th century through Gothic modifications in the 14th century. The famous Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik was responsible for extensive renovations in the time of the First Republic (1918-1938). Since the Velvet Revolution, the Prague Castle has undergone significant and on-going repairs and reconstructions

The Hundred Spired Prague

UNESCO heritage since 1992.

The full-day Prague excursion begins when our guide picks you up at Prague Congress Centre (congress venue).

We will first drive the Strahov monastery, the quick basic tour includes a quick peek into its marvelous library – often ranked in the top 5 most beautiful libraries in the world (we can also arrange entry and a private tour of the library upon request). You will be amazed by the view of the Lesser Town and the castle from the monastery terrace.

We continue to the Prague castle, where (apart from the free zones and courtyards) we will show you the breath-taking St.Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St.George’s church , and the Golden Lane. Next on the list is enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of one of the gardens around the castle or John Lennon’s wall in Kampa park.

The other dominant of Prague is the Charles Bridge, the second oldest stone bridge in the Czech Republic, and its 30 monumental statues. We can climb up the bridge tower to take great photos of the river+bridge+castle combo (no lift!).
Then we transfer to the Old Town and have a free time for lunch. Afterward, we will show you the Old Town square with its richly decorated burger houses, Tyn church, St.Nicholas church and the statue of Jan Hus. Finally, you can enjoy the 400-year old moving Astronomical Clock (Orloj) of the gorgeous Old Townhall. We recommend to go up to the Old Townhall Tower to experience the bird’s view of the Old Town.

Based on your preference, we can just take a stroll through the Jewish Quarter, or we can add a combined ticket to the Jewish museum, cemetery, and a synagogue or two. Mind you, the itinerary may become tight.

Next on the list is Municipal House, where the opening of the world-famous music festival Prague Spring takes place every year. We can see the free zone around the entrance and the restaurants and/or have a coffee in their gorgeous cafe and move on. Or we can arrange a public guided tour and show you the amazing Smetana Hall and richly decorated interiors. Again, we may need to shorten some other program.

If enough time left, we will drive to through the city to the Zizkov Tower where you can oversee the whole Prague.
