Self-Guided Audio Tour - Prague Castle District
Description
Let Prince Dalibor, the first prisoner held in the prison tower that bears his name at Prague Castle, tell you his story as you walk through Prague. This tour starts in front of the Old Royal Palace, where you will discover the history of the Kingdom of Bohemia and its power in the region. You will discover St. Vitus Cathedral, a Gothic work of art, and its clock tower. The narrator will dramatically tell you the legends and historical facts while you admire the architecture of St. George's Basilica, which was the first monastery in Prague. Continuing your walk, you will see the Rosenberg Palace, one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture in Prague, known for its ceilings decorated with magnificent frescoes depicting classical scenes from the sixteenth century.

We have used audio tours in the past and have been very pleased. Not so with this one. The commentary was apparently supposed to sync with the location—but it didn’t and it was near impossible to get the track to be at the place. The audio has a lot of sound effects (horse hooves) but very minimal information about what you are seeing at a location. We were very disappointed because we wanted to learn more about the castle

The app worked well but the content of the audio was not great. A lot of time was spent on sound effects and not a lot of content was included.
