About this experience
Who says sightseeing can’t come with a side of beer? On this downhill (literally, not figuratively) stroll from Prague Castle to Old Town, you’ll have plenty of pints, gourmet snacks, and a chance to try pouring your own Czech beer with the guidance from our master bartenders from the famous Lokál pubs. The 3-kilometre route is all about enjoying the sights without the rush - plenty of time to take in the views, chat, and sip to your heart’s desire. And while the streets may be lively, there’s something about holding a beer and sitting in a cozy pub that turns the city’s bustle into the perfect backdrop for a laid-back adventure. Less rush, more flavour.

Detailed itinerary
1
We start in one of the most traditional Czech pubs - U Černého Vola. Here you enjoy your first pint(s) and we welcome you to the tour, give you a map and prepare you for what's to come.
2
Stop 2
Pass by
The tour starts at the top of the hill, walking right by Prague castle - but rather than going inside, we go in the adjacent restaurant Kuchyň.
3
The next stop is not far - a more modern take on a Czech pub is the restaurant Kuchyň. More beer and some beer snacks await you there.
4
Back to the classics - we walk down the hill to the pub U Hrocha. A sanctuary for Old Town's regulars. Even though it's a small pub, it has the ambience of a typical local joint. And the bartenders are very friendly.
5
Stop 5
Pass by
After finishing our drinks at U Hrocha, we continue across the Charles bridge to the New Town.
6
Our next stop for more beer and Czech food is the pub U Zlatého Tygra. Yet another classic that is adored by locals. This is where pub history was written. To work as a tapster At the Golden Tiger is a privilege and you have to wait years for a spot. Also, no children allowed!
7
Yet another pub - both new and old. It only opened in 2011 but it honours the tradition of other pubs in this area under the archway near Havelsky market. Even though its interior is new and polished, it still feels like a proper old pub.

Pass by
On our way to the last stop, we walk through the Old Town Square.
9
The last stop. Lokál Dlouhááá opened in 2004 and is probably the longest pub in Prague (Dlouhá - Long, also the name of the street). Here we will have a debrief and you'll get your own try at tapping beer!
