Two-Hour Morning Walking Tour of Prague Castle
Begin your day with an enchanting early morning stroll across the famed Charles Bridge, followed by a scenic tram ride to Prague Castle, where you uncover centuries of history, architecture, and sweeping city views.
Overview
Begin your adventure at Křižovnické náměstí, by the Charles IV statue at Charles Bridge. Spot your guide easily—they’ll be holding an orange umbrella and ready to welcome you at 10:00 AM. From there, you’ll stroll romantically across the historic Charles Bridge, enjoying sweeping views of Bohemia’s proud heritage and the Vltava River below.
Next, hop aboard a public tram (ticket included) to bypass the uphill climb, giving your feet a break and offering you a scenic ride through Lesser Town on your way up to the Castle.
At Prague Castle, your guide will lead you through the monumental grounds of this thousand‑year‑old symbol of Czech statehood. Step inside the St. Vitus Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture taking nearly six centuries to complete, and delve into the royal crypt, Crown Chamber, and marvel at the Last Judgment mosaic and the Old Royal Palace.
Continue to St. George’s Basilica, the oldest surviving church within the walls of Prague Castle, where the guide will explain the Benedictine Abbey’s historic significance and its role in the Bohemian cultural fabric.
Throughout the tour, your local guide will weave in fascinating historical insights, legends, and architectural highlights, bringing the royal and religious past of the Czech lands vividly to life. You’ll finish at one of the best panoramic viewpoints over Prague, where photo‑worthy vistas await.
