The stops, in order

  1. 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.
  2. St. Vitus Cathedral↳ 82 m from the previous stop (straight line)This 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.
  3. Charles Bridge↳ 919 m from the previous stop (straight line)This 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.
