Think a visit to Prague Castle means grand royal apartments and State Rooms? Unfortunately, those rooms are normally closed to the public. Interior tours typically include admission to sites such as St Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St George's Basilica and Golden Lane.
This tour takes a different approach. Prague Castle's story is written on the outside.
This fully outdoor tour helps you understand how the Castle's churches, palaces, courtyards and fortifications fit together and why it remains the symbolic heart of the Czech nation.
Through expert storytelling, understand how 11 centuries of kings, emperors, presidents, wars and political change shaped this vast castle complex.
We do not enter the interiors and no admission ticket is required. Instead, you'll understand Prague Castle as a whole and learn what's inside, so you can decide which, if any, you want to visit afterwards.
Most visitors leave Prague Castle having seen it. Our guests leave understanding it.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The meeting point is directly in front of the beautiful Rudolfinum. Our guide will have a dark blue flag with a white logo of a skyline and horizon.
The final location will very much depend on the guide; but, normally the tours ends inside Prague Castle at the panoramic area which offers great views of Prague.
