Get to know the rich history of Prague with a free tour of about 2 hours through the majestic Prague Castle and other landmarks of the city.

This guided tour starts in front of the statue of Charles IV at the beginning of the Charles Bridge in Křižovnické náměstí Square. An expert guide will tell you about the history and legends of this famous bridge, crossing it while you get to know its most iconic statues.

The tour continues to Kampa Island, where you will visit the John Lennon Wall and the Little Venice of Prague. Then, at Malá Strana Square, you'll take a tram to the impressive Prague Castle.

At Hradčany Square, you will admire historic buildings such as the Schwarzenberg Palace and the Marian Column. You will then explore the largest castle in the world, starting with the Giant's Gate and the Matyás Gate in the first courtyard.

You will discover the fascinating Gothic and Romanesque architecture of St. Vitus Cathedral, one of the largest in Europe, and stroll through the castle's courtyards, taking in the Golden Gate, the Cathedral Tower, the Old Royal Court, St. George's Basilica and the picturesque Golden Alley.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to explore areas normally closed to the public, such as the mysterious dungeons and secret gardens with panoramic views of Prague. You will learn about the kings and queens who once inhabited this castle, as well as the intrigues and conspiracies that took place within its walls.

Finally, the tour will end at the Prague Castle viewing platform, offering you an unparalleled view of the city. This is when you will have to evaluate what you thought of the experience. Depending on what you think is fair, you can pay the guide to show your satisfaction.
