This private walking tour offers a fantastic overview of Prague’s right riverbank, including the Old Town, Jewish Quarter, and Charles Bridge. Prague was miraculously spared from destruction during the Second World War, which is why it’s often called an “open-air museum of architecture”. As you wander through winding medieval alleys and admire Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque palaces and churches, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time.

If you have an extra day in Prague, we highly recommend exploring the left riverbank as well. You can find it on Viator - “Private Walking Tour of Prague Castle and Lesser Town (Left Riverbank)”.

If you only have one day to see Prague’s major sights, we suggest exploring both riverbanks in a single day with our “Best of Prague Private Walking Tour (Left and Right Riverbank)”.

All of our tours are private, so you set the pace and focus on what interests you most. Your guide will be happy to share personalized tips and recommendations.
