Explore the Guinness Book of World Records' largest ancient castle with us! Learn about the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral and how it fits into Charles IV's plan to prepare Prague for the apocalypse and the Last Judgment.

Please be there at least 10 minutes before the start! If you are late, you won't find the group close to the meeting point because they take a tram uphill.

Recomended !!

I highly recommend the Prague Castle tour. It was a wonderful opportunity to explore one of Prague’s most impressive historical landmarks and learn about its rich history, architecture, and fascinating stories. Our guide made the experience engaging and enjoyable, bringing the castle and its surroundings to life. The tour was well worth it and a must-do for anyone visiting Prague!

Professional tour and guide

Great tour that starts with a oublic tram ride up the hill and we walk down and tour the palace grounds and gardens wirh an excellent tour guide. One of the best tour guides for us was Katerina. Her knowledge of architecture and time periods was so informative.bring cash or card- you will want to tip generously as it was a 5 star tour.

Hana - Prague Castle tour

Hana is very sensitive and considerate to her audience. She is very well spoken and we learned much about the Prague Castle, Vitus Cathedral and Prague history! She ensued we experienced the changing of the guards! Loved that she shared her family experiences of Prague, her home city. She took extra time to guide us down from the castle back to starting point. Thank you, Hana!!

Jan was a 10!!!

Jan was a brilliant guide, honestly one of the best I've ever had on any free tour by far. He explained the curiosities of Prague, the castle, and so much history extremely well. He is clearly super knowledgeable and explained everything amazingly. I 100% recommend taking the tour with Jan!
