You will feel the real spirit of the royal courts, walk by the most beautiful ceremonial gate, learn the history of palaces and monuments, as well as the fate of people whose hearts were once broken in these endless halls. And of course, the pearl of Prague Castle awaits you – the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral!

Starting point of the route:

There’s a tram stop right by Prague Castle (which has the same name – Pražský hrad), you can take tram number 22 or 23. Then, after you arrive, cross the road and walk along U Prašného mostu street. If you see a beautiful cathedral in front of you, it means that you are on the right track. There will be a checkpoint in front of the Powder Tower, to accommodate the modern security requirements. If there are many people wanting to go inside – and usually there’s a lot of them – you will have to stand in line.

This quest tour is available in text version. You can buy it at a more favourable price than the one with a voiceover, for only 29€.
