Prague City Tour

A Short City Tour is a nice introduction to Prague. It will help you get your bearings before you set out to explore the city on your own. The tour is also great for those who are staying in Prague for a limited time (e.g. on business or on a layover between flights) and would like to get an overview of the city's historical center. Those who have trouble walking will appreciate the fact that the tour is done entirely by bus, which also makes it an attractive option in cold or rainy weather. In the summer months (approx. mid-June to mid-September, weather permitting), an open panoramic bus is used. Commentary comes as a high quality recording through headphones in a choice of 25 languages*. The tour ends on the Old Town Square..

Walk Through Old Town Square & Charles Bridge

This classic Prague walking tour follows the ancient Royal Route from its beginning at the Powder Tower to the Lesser Town side of Charles Bridge. Your guide will lead you along Celetná Street to the Old Town Square and down Karlova Street to Charles Bridge, providing commentary about the history and sights along the way. The guided tour ends on the Lesser Town side of Charles Bridge where you can have lunch and then continue your walk on your own, either to explore the picturesque little streets of Lesser Town, or to finish the Royal Route by walking up Nerudova Street to the Castle.
