With a brief introductory overview of the castle complex and a flexible ticket valid for two days, this experience allows you to explore one of the most remarkable cultural and historical sites in Europe at your own pace.

Start your journey by meeting our representative near the castle grounds for a warm welcome and a concise (15-20 minute) introduction to Prague Castle. During this session, you’ll gain valuable insights into the site’s history, significance, and must-see attractions. Afterward, our representative will exchange your voucher for an official ticket, granting you access to the castle’s key highlights.

As you continue, step into the Old Royal Palace, where the halls echo with the legacy of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors.

The journey doesn’t end there. Visit St. George’s Basilica, one of the oldest surviving church buildings within the castle complex, known for its Romanesque design and serene atmosphere. Stroll through the enchanting Golden Lane, lined with colorful, diminutive houses that once accommodated goldsmiths and castle guards. Conclude your visit at Daliborka Tower, a former dungeon steeped in captivating legends.

Your ticket provides access to all these extraordinary sites, allowing you to delve into over a millennium of history. Learn how Prague Castle has served as a seat of power for kings, emperors, and presidents, from its origins in the 9th century to the present day.

A trip to Prague wouldn't be complete without visiting the castle. It's absolutely stunning the architecture, the history, and the views make it a must see. Walking through the grounds feels like stepping back in time. This is one landmark you simply can't miss!

While Rue d'Or offers a charming experience, visitors with mobility challenges might find it somewhat difficult to navigate. The historic nature of the street means there are uneven surfaces and steps that could present accessibility issues. Those with disabilities may want to plan accordingly or seek alternative routes.

Our guide was clearly very knowledgeable and paid close attention to our group's needs.

That said, the guided tour added tremendous value to our visit, and I would absolutely recommend taking it with the commentary.
