Late-afternoon light slides across the orange roofs and the graveled courtyards of Prague Castle as the group assembles beneath the Lesser Town’s weathered facades. The guide threads stories through the stone: princes and emperors, wartime occupation, and the whisper of Velvet Revolution crowds. This two‑hour route privileges perspective — sweeping views over the Vltava, the Gothic spires of St. Vitus catching the sun, and the compact medieval streets that lead into the castle’s ramparts.
