From Old Town to the Castle
The stops, in order
- Old Town SquareWelcome to Old Town Square, the vibrant historical heart of Prague. Bordered by Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo buildings, it features the Old Town Hall and its world-famous Astronomical Clock from 1410—one of the oldest still in operation. Every hour, crowds gather to watch the mechanical parade of the twelve apostles.
- Charles BridgeThis is Charles Bridge, Prague's medieval jewel spanning the Vltava River. Completed in the early 15th century during the reign of Emperor Charles IV, this 516-meter-long stone bridge is lined with 30 statues of saints, mostly sculpted in the Baroque style. Legend has it that eggs were mixed into the mortar to strengthen the structure.
- Malá StranaWelcome to Malá Strana, Prague's 'Lesser Town', a picturesque district that has remained largely unchanged since the 18th century. Nestled at the foot of the castle, it is one of the densest and most beautiful Baroque ensembles in Europe. Its winding streets are lined with colorful aristocratic palaces and hidden gems like the Vrtba Garden.
- Prague CastleWelcome to Prague Castle, the most iconic landmark of the Czech Republic and, according to the Guinness World Records, the largest ancient castle complex in the world. Founded in the 9th century, this spectacular fortress spans over seven hectares, proudly dominating the city skyline. Throughout the centuries, it has served as the seat for Bohemian kings, Holy Roman Emperors, and currently the President of the Republic.
- St. Vitus CathedralThis is St. Vitus Cathedral, the absolute masterpiece of Gothic architecture in Central Europe, located within the castle complex. Its construction spanned nearly six hundred years, from its foundation by Charles IV in 1344 until its final completion in 1929.
