About this activity

The city of Prague has the largest castle complex in the world. It consists of several palaces, churches, gardens and many other special buildings. Prague Castle has a rich history and you will get to know it during this tour.

We start the tour at the Strahov Monastery and from there we visit all the special buildings in the castle, such as St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica, the famous golden lane and of course the Lobkowicz Palace.

Of course we also reflect on the events during the 30 years war in Prague.

At 12:00 PM we will of course also see the big changing of the guards. In the summer we also visit one of the well-known special palace gardens.

And because we are in the highest parts of the city of Prague, a special viewpoint cannot be missed.

Will you delve with us into the history of the largest castle complex in the world?
