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.

Ross is a great tour guide!
Ross had the history down! Very interesting tour! We saw some great views on our way up the hill, and once we got to the top of the hill. We caught the changing of the guard…. Very cool! The inside of St Vitus Cathedral. The tomb of King Wenceslas.

You see a lot in 2.5 hours. Myar our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and responded to questions. Patient with slow members.

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.
Nice experience but long line up
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.
Jane: Drive with passion!
Jane is good and kind. He guided us in the excursion adding unexpected details and identifying with true passion to history. Bravo!
