This 3.5 hour walking tour takes you to Prague Castle (by coach) and from here, your fascinating walking tour commences. The informative guide will take you on a tour of the interiors of the Prague Castle - the Royal Palace, St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica and Golden Lane, highlighting all important historical details of the Castle.
Prague Castle - the largest medieval castle complex in Europe - was built around 850 AD by the Premyslid family. Its history has been long and rich, from its very origin to present day it has been the seat of administration of the country.
For more than 600 years, the roofs of the Castle have been overlooked by the towers of the Gothic Cathedral. The Cathedral, the seat of the Archbishop of Prague, was where the Coronations of the Kings of Bohemia were held until 1836. It is also where Saints, Kings, Princes and Emperors of Bohemia are buried. St. Wenceslas Chapel in the cathedral was built directly above the Saint's tomb by Peter Parler. "Charles IV donated many relics to the church all decorated with gold, silver and precious stones. No other King had enriched and honored the church so grandly and magnificently" (from the Chronicle of Frances of Prague, 2nd half of the 14th century).
After your visit to Prague Castle, the tour continues on foot through the Lesser Town to Charles Bridge where the tour concludes.
