Itinerary
Guided tour of St Vitus Cathedral. Your tour begins in the Lesser Town, which is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage site. See the beautiful St Nicholas Church and take a walk uphill to admire the magnificent Prague Castle in all its glory. Explore the charming Hradcany Square and enter the castle grounds without buying a ticket, as skip-the-line tickets to Prague Castle are already included in the itinerary. Follow your Private Guide through the inner courtyards of the historic castle complex and marvel at its crown jewel, the monolithic St Vitus Cathedral with its twin Gothic spires and ornate carvings.
The construction of this Gothic masterpiece began in 1344 and lasted nearly 600 years. Take a good look at the beautiful mosaic depicting the events of the Last Judgment as you enter the Cathedral through the Golden Gate and experience the awe-inspiring atmosphere of its interiors.
Your Expert Guide will explain in detail the Cathedral’s history and architecture, from high vaulted ceilings, to elaborate frescoes, to stained glass, to carved doors. Listen to the stories about royal weddings, coronations and burials as you wander around the Cathedral and its many chapels. You cannot miss the famous Chapel of St Wenceslas, which houses relics of the saint. There are also crypts with tombs of Bohemian kings and emperors and the Crown Chamber with valuable Crown Jewels.
Enhance your experience with a visit to Tower of the Cathedral with a View Gallery and a full tour of the Prague Castle complex. This includes the Old Royal Palace with the Vladislav Hall, the Bohemian art gallery in St George’s Basilica and the medieval townhouses along the Golden Lane. The Cathedral Tower is one of the city’s best viewing points, offering panoramic views of the Lesser Town and beyond. It is a hidden gem of Prague that you won't find in other city tours.
Enjoy private car transfers on your visit to St Vitus Cathedral. This includes private transport from your accomodation to the meeting point. We understand that navigating Prague is not easy, so we want to make it easier for you by organizing a 5-Star Driver and private car for your pickup and drop-off.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dive into history – unmissable! Visiting St. Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle was one of the most exciting experiences of our trip! The whole complex is majestic and rich in history, with breathtaking views of the city. The Cathedral is simply spectacular, both outside and inside. The stained glass windows, side chapels and Gothic architecture are a real masterpiece. Climbing the tower (a bit tiring, but worth it!) you can enjoy an incredible panoramic view over the whole of Prague. The Castle, with its courtyards, gardens and the famous Golden Lane, is a fascinating place where you can breathe the past. Every corner tells a story, from the royal rooms to the architectural details, and it is all well preserved and organized. We strongly recommend spending at least half a day visiting: it is a really rich cultural and visual experience. A must for those visiting Prague!
Grazie mille, d_davide11, per la tua splendida recensione! Siamo felicissimi di sapere che la visita alla Cattedrale di San Vito e al Castello di Praga ti abbia emozionato e regalato panorami mozzafiato. Le tue parole sul complesso, le vetrate e il Vicolo d’Oro ci fanno davvero piacere! 😊 Rosotravel Team
This is one of the most enjoyable and educational tours that I have taken… My “hats off” to Valentina, she was so knowledgeable and pleasant. She took the time to give us all valuable insights about the area and government history. Thank you, Valentina……
Dear Wayne, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our tour and had a great experience with our guide. We hope that you will use our services again in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back on another tour! Best regards. Rosotravel Team
Booked the tour with audio guide in Italian; we were quite disappointed as the audio guide was missing several points marked inside the Church. This attraction is also a bit overrated compared to similar ones around Europe
Ciao patruncolo, Grazie per aver condiviso il tuo feedback. Ci dispiace sapere che la tua esperienza con l’audioguida in italiano non abbia soddisfatto le tue aspettative. I nostri tour sono progettati per mostrare i punti di maggiore interesse, ma capiamo che le preferenze personali possano variare. Esamineremo il contenuto dell’audioguida per garantire che in futuro copra tutti i punti principali in maniera più completa. Apprezziamo il tuo contributo e speriamo di poterti offrire un’esperienza più soddisfacente in una prossima visita. Cordiali saluti, Rosotravel Team
You can spend hours admiring the hundreds of pictures, sculptures, painted windows and architectural details - but the best part of it is the view from the top of the tower (there is no elevator and there are some 270 steps to climb, but worth the struggle).
