3 Hours • Discover the Best of the Prague Castle Complex
Discover the enchanting Prague Castle on a private tour that reveals its hidden treasures. Skip the lines to explore stunning sites like St. Vitus Cathedral and an underground alchemy lab. Experience the dramatic changing of the guard and enjoy breathtaking views, all while enjoying personalized attention from your guide.
We bet Prague Castle is on your must-see list, and for a good reason! But beware – the name is a bit deceiving as this is not your ordinary Cinderella’s Palace! Prague Castle is a huge complex that consists of many palaces, churches, courtyards, panorama points, and stunning gardens.
On this tour, we’ll get you the tickets to visit the Castle interiors in advance so that we’ll start exploring right away (well, to be fair after we go through the security check – but we’ll take you through a Castle entrance only locals know so no long lines here).
We’ll cover the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral, the most beautiful church in our country. We’ll continue to the Old Royal Palace where, besides other things, you’ll hear all about certain strange events that got repeated throughout our history so many times, there’s now an official term for them. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to visit an underground alchemy lab that lay hidden for centuries.
The Czechs used to be quite a ferocious crowd and wouldn’t stop short of rather drastic methods in dealing with their adversaries. Did you know they had a torture chamber within the Castle complex? Let’s take a look at some of the instruments they used there.
Afterward, it’s time to be wowed by the 900s Basilica of St. George, the old burial place of our ancient kings. And of course, we can’t miss the fairy-tale street known as the Golden Lane! We’ll finish the tour with our favourite view of all Prague from yet another lovely Castle garden.
Would you like to explore the Castle within a family circle or a group of friends? Are you interested in any specific aspect of local culture? Book a private tour and enjoy all the exclusive advantages of having the guide just for yourself! You can start the tour at whatever time you wish, our guide will pick you up directly at your hotel/apartment.
What happens after the tour is up to you! Would you like to finish at the nearest metro/tram station? Or perhaps still up the hill at the Castle so you can continue exploring on your own? Or in a nearby restaurant for a late lunch/early dinner? Just let us know and we'll make it happen.
