Itinerary
Marvel at St. Vitus’ Gothic architecture. Spot the gargoyles that adorn the exterior of the church. Be dazzled by the Art-Nouveau stained glass window made by Czech artist Alfons Mucha. Admire the 14th-century mosaic of the last judgment.
See the tombs of St. Wenceslas and Charles IV, the baroque tomb of St. John of Nepomuk, and the Chapel of St. Wenceslas. Next, enter the Old Royal Palace. Stand under the massive vaulted ceiling of the Vladislav Hall.
Visit the Basilica of St. George. The stone walls and design of the basilica offer a counterpoint to the grandiosity of the castle. See the fragments of 12th-century frescoes and then walk up the double staircase where the remains of St. Ludmila lie.
Walk along the Golden Lane. The cottages in this alley were originally built for the castle’s sharpshooters, but later housed goldsmiths. In later centuries artists like Franz Kafka lived there.

Wonderful tour. Learned a lot. Highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable. You must take this tour. It was extremely helpful that we wore ear pieces and could hear our guide above all the chatter inside the cathedral and palace. Other guides were shouting to be heard.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and found it both informative and enjoyable. It’s great that the headsets helped make the experience even more comfortable. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Fun in Prague team
I really enjoy visiting the castle and cathedral. We had a great guide, Ana. But I bought the skipped tickets which was not skipped line at all. So I was waiting like everyone for an hour or so to visit each castle.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the visit and Ana’s guidance; please note that skip-the-line refers to skipping the ticket purchase line for interior entrances, not security or capacity queues. Fun in Prague team

Lovely trip with a fantastic guide. The trip includes a tram ride up the hill and entry to several locations at the castle. It’s very informative and the castle is beautiful

Very good tour of the castle. Only 2.5 hours but got to see a lot and very good narrative from the guide.
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tour! Fun In Prague team
Such an interesting tour. Our guide was very informative and told us so much about the history of the buildings. We struggled to find the meeting point (the taxi driver took us to the castle entrance) but I messaged our guide who arranged to meet us at the next stop just inside the castle courtyard which was so helpful. Definitely a trip worth doing.
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the help with the meeting point. Fun in Prague team
Tour guide was almost running during the tour. She talked and walked so fast and you don’t have time to look at anything. She didn’t hold umbrella high enough to keep in sight. She was just worried about getting through the tour route on time. She didn’t keep group together and actually lost us for one of the areas until we found the group 30 minutes later. I would use the audio guide and save money and learn more.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the pace and group management didn’t meet your expectations. Fun in Prague team
I have been through the castle four times and I learned more this time than the previous three. The guide was personable and articulate, with the right blend of humor and historical information.
Thank you for your review of our tour, we hope to see you again in the future. Fun in Prague Team
