Description
Discover Prague Castle with a German-speaking guide and explore its most beautiful courtyards and viewpoints – without wasting time in long lines for the interiors, which require paid admission. At the end of the guided tour, you will visit Golden Lane with our guide, which is already open to the public free of charge at that time. This tour is ideal for those who are already familiar with Prague's Old Town and the Jewish Quarter and now want to discover Prague Castle as well. Your tour starts at Křižovnické náměstí, under the statue of Charles IV. From there, you will cross Charles Bridge in the direction of the Lesser Town and continue to the “Malostranské náměstí” tram stop. You will take the tram (ticket included) for a comfortable ride up to the castle – without the hassle of climbing stairs. Once at the top, you will explore the Royal Garden and walk to the presidential office and Hradčany Square, which overlooks the German embassy. You will visit the exterior of St. Vitus Cathedral, pass through the inner courtyards of the castle, and reach the famous Golden Lane. The tour ends here—just in time for free admission to start at 5:00 PM, so you can continue exploring on your own afterwards. The tour does not include the interior of the castle, such as St. Vitus Cathedral or the Palace, but focuses on the most beautiful outdoor areas.Includes

Please be at the meeting point 10 minutes in advance. The tour departs on time, and we cannot wait for latecomers (no refunds are available). This tour is offered in German only. Unfortunately, anyone who does not have a good command of German will not be able to participate (no refunds available).
