Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
Guided tour of St Vitus Cathedral. Your tour begins in the Lesser Town, which is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage site. See the beautiful St Nicholas Church and take a walk uphill to admire the magnificent Prague Castle in all its glory. Explore the charming Hradcany Square and enter the castle grounds without buying a ticket, as skip-the-line tickets to Prague Castle are already included in the itinerary. Follow your Private Guide through the inner courtyards of the historic castle complex and marvel at its crown jewel, the monolithic St Vitus Cathedral with its twin Gothic spires and ornate carvings.

The construction of this Gothic masterpiece began in 1344 and lasted nearly 600 years. Take a good look at the beautiful mosaic depicting the events of the Last Judgment as you enter the Cathedral through the Golden Gate and experience the awe-inspiring atmosphere of its interiors.

Your Expert Guide will explain in detail the Cathedral’s history and architecture, from high vaulted ceilings, to elaborate frescoes, to stained glass, to carved doors. Listen to the stories about royal weddings, coronations and burials as you wander around the Cathedral and its many chapels. You cannot miss the famous Chapel of St Wenceslas, which houses relics of the saint. There are also crypts with tombs of Bohemian kings and emperors and the Crown Chamber with valuable Crown Jewels.
