Description

Start the tour at the Premiant kiosk on Na Příkopě street and travel comfortably by air-conditioned bus to Prague Castle. Enjoy skip-the-line entry with your ticket for direct access to the castle interiors.

Your expert local guide will reveal the history and artistry of the castle complex. Highlights include the Gothic architecture and Art-Nouveau stained glass of St. Vitus Cathedral, the 14th-century Last Judgment mosaic, and the sacred Chapel of St. Wenceslas.

Visit the Old Royal Palace, former seat of Czech royalty and site of the famous Defenestration of Prague that triggered the Thirty Years War. Explore St. George’s Basilica, notable for its 12th-century frescoes and the resting place of St. Ludmila.

Walk along Golden Lane, known for its small historic houses built into the castle walls, once home to sharpshooters and goldsmiths. See the Daliborka Tower, historically used as a noble prison.
