Overview
Meet your guide in the very heart of the Old Town at the threshold of the Charles Bridge and set off on a magical journey through time. On this unique tour you will learn the most interesting stories of more than a thousand years of Prague history, admire an extraordinary richness of Prague architecture, the variety of styles and the art of the old masters which will accompany us at every step.
Begin with a romantic stroll across the Charles Bridge enjoying the breathtaking view of the Castle panorama after which you sink into the streets of the Lesser Town. Here we take a tram and enjoy the beautiful view on our way up to the Prague Castle. As you stroll through the ancient seat of the Czech kings and emperors, carried away by the monumental splendor of the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, your guide will reveal some more from the glorious royal past of the Czech Lands.
Continue to the Jewish Quarter, once the largest Jewish settlement in Europe! Here in the area with unusually mysterious atmosphere we find number of exceptionally preserved synagogues and the ancient Old Jewish Cemetery. The highlight of the walk is the Prague Old Town with the beautiful Old Town Square. This old marketplace, originally built in the 11th century, is Dominated by the splendid Church of Our Lady Before Týn and the Old Town Hall. Here, as a living witness of the history, the Prague Astronomical Clock has been measuring time for more than six centuries.
But now is the time for well deserved rest and refreshment. You are warmly welcome to enjoy an excellent lunch in one of the traditional Prague's pubs. Taste typical Czech food and maybe even a glass of fine Czech beer!
After the lunch you will still have an opportunity to explore some of the most picturesque narrow streets of medieval Old Town on your way to the pier. Now, pleasantly tired, you hop aboard a fully wooden boat built in the tradition of the 19th century and your Vltava River cruise can start! Do not forget to have your camera ready to capture snaps of some of Prague’s legendary landmarks as you go, now from a different perspective!
