City Tour of Prague with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge

From the comfort of the bus you will see first the New Town with the Wenceslas Square, the National Museum, the National Theatre, the panorama of Prague Castle and the Lesser Town as well as the Charles Bridge. Then you will continue walking in the courtyards of the Prague Castle, become acquainted with its history and you will visit the inside of its biggest monument, Saint Vitus’ Cathedral.

The tour ends in the Old Town Square at the Astronomical Clock situated on the frontage of the Old Town Hall near the Týn Church.

Afternoon at leisure for individual activities

• Tip: You may re-visit Prague Castle, sit for a moment in a café and enjoy Prague’s magical atmosphere or go to the Wenceslas Square and enjoy the countless shops and restaurants. The rest of the day is yours to spend as you please. You might also choose between either one of the Opera performances or one of the many museums in town.

Visit to Karlstejn Castle

• At Karlstein, Charles IV fully developed in architectural forms the whole complicated system of his world outlooks and ideas on state, the ideology of the monarchal powers of the Czech king and his imperial dignity. His richly developed mystic thinking and feeling, his allegorical fantasy and the high demands he placed on culture predetermined the building program of the castle. The foundation stone of Karlstein was laid in 1348 and the main building works lasted to 1356, the year of Charles’ coronation as emperor. Charles IV devoted care to the rich interior decoration of the castle until the time of his death in 1378. After the tour you will have some time to walk around to explore the local shops for an hour.
