Join us for a fascinating walking tour of Prague Castle. It includes transport to the castle by bus, a guided walk through the Prague Castle complex, a Prague Castle Ticket to explore inside the monuments, and a boat trip.
This sightseeing tour is part by air-conditioned bus, part by boat, but mostly on foot (Prague Castle is pedestrianised). After meeting your guide near Wenceslas Square, we board the bus for the trip up to the castle.
Prague Castle is the city's No1 tourist attraction, and the largest ancient castle complex in the world. It is set in a commanding position overlooking the city, from where the Kings of Bohemia once ruled. Prague Castle is an intriguing mix of squares, buildings and fortifications. There are palaces, state apartments, great halls, churches, a monastery, viewing towers, and museums and art galleries.
As we explore the grand squares and winding, cobbled streets, your guide brings it all to life, explaining the turbulent history of the monuments and their inhabitants, and their royal and presidential connections.
Using the Prague Castle Ticket, we visit the interiors of: St. Vitus Cathedral, site of the coronation of medieval Kings and Queens; the Old Royal Palace, with its grand architecture; ancient St. George's Basilica, founded in 920 AD; and, the 15th century Golden Lane (Zlatį ulička), where skilled artisans lived and worked for generations, and the mystical art of alchemy was practised! There are also wonderful panoramic views over the city below to enjoy. The tour finishes at Prague Castle. Before we say goodbye, well hand you a ticket for a scenic boat trip. You can use it right away or at any time during your visit to Prague. Boats depart daily at: 12:00, 13:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00.
The boat sails under Charles Bridge and around the historical centre. With the Old Town on one side of the Vltava River and the Lesser Town on the other, take in spectacular views of Prague Castle, Rudolfinum, the Prague Parliament and the National Theatre.
The boat is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, so is comfortable all year round. There is seating inside the boat and out on deck.
The bar on board serves beers, wines, sparkling wines, spirits, hot drinks, soft drinks and snacks. -----------------------------------------------
