Step into the heart of Czech history and explore the magnificent interiors of Prague Castle with a knowledgeable local guide.
For more than a thousand years, Prague Castle has stood at the centre of Czech history. Kings, emperors, presidents and religious leaders have all left their mark here, and today the castle remains one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks. On this guided tour, you’ll discover its most important historic buildings, hear the fascinating stories behind them and see some of the most remarkable interiors in the castle complex.
Your tour begins with a convenient entry to the castle. Skip the ticket-purchase line and use the short security line before heading inside with your guide.
Start your visit in St. Vitus Cathedral, the spiritual heart of Prague Castle and one of the city’s most impressive Gothic landmarks. Admire its soaring architecture, colourful stained-glass windows and richly decorated chapels, and hear stories about the kings, saints and important figures connected with the cathedral. You’ll also have the chance to see the tombs and chapels that make this one of the most fascinating places in the entire castle complex.
Continue to the Old Royal Palace, once the seat of Bohemian kings and the scene of important royal events. Step into the magnificent Vladislav Hall, a spectacular late-Gothic space that hosted coronation celebrations, banquets, knights’ tournaments and other major events. Your guide will also bring the palace’s dramatic history to life, including the famous Defenestration of Prague, when two royal governors and a scribe were thrown from a window in 1618, helping to spark the Thirty Years’ War.
Next, visit the peaceful St. George’s Basilica, one of the oldest surviving churches at Prague Castle. Its Romanesque architecture creates a striking contrast with the grandeur of the cathedral, while its historic interior and centuries-old atmosphere offer a glimpse into Prague’s medieval past.
Finally, wander through the charming Golden Lane, a narrow street lined with tiny historic houses. Originally home to castle guards and later associated with goldsmiths, the colourful cottages give a fascinating insight into everyday life at Prague Castle. The lane has also been connected with famous figures including Franz Kafka, who lived in House No. 22 during the First World War.
Throughout the tour, your local guide will connect the buildings, artworks and historic events into one story, making it easier to understand how Prague Castle evolved over more than a thousand years.
Whether you are visiting Prague for the first time or want to discover more than the castle’s exterior, this tour is an easy and engaging way to experience the highlights of Prague Castle from the inside – without having to navigate the vast complex on your own.
