Tour Itinerary
The tour begins near the National Theatre, a neo-Renaissance landmark with its distinctive golden roof that serves as the official cultural emblem of the Czech Republic. From here, the Vltava River sets the scene, curving through the capital as the country's longest waterway.
The Charles Bridge draws the route from the Old Town into Malá Strana, lined with Baroque statues and rich in historical detail. Nearby, John Lennon's Wall offers a quieter, more personal kind of landmark, its painted surface a record of decades of public expression.
The Malá Strana district surrounds you with Baroque architecture at its most theatrical, anchored by St. Nicholas Church and framed by grand palaces including the Schwarzenberg and Cernin. Malá Strana Square, founded in 1257, anchors this stretch as one of Prague's oldest neighborhoods.
The climb to Prague Castle leads into a compound of extraordinary scale, encompassing St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica, Golden Lane, and surrounding towers. Audio commentary at each stop decodes centuries of royal, religious, and political history held within these walls.
On the castle's western edge, the Strahov Monastery has occupied the same hilltop since 1140, founded by a Catholic order of Canons over 900 years ago. The nearby Loreto Sanctuary, a major Czech pilgrimage site, presents one of the city's finest Baroque facades.
The route descends via the historic Petrin funicular, one of the city's oldest transport links, before passing the Kampa Museum and the island of Kampa itself, the largest island in Prague's city center. The tour closes with a return through the riverside streets of Malá Strana.
