About this experience

In the first chapter, we will immerse you in the history of the Czech lands and Prague, and how it was shaped in the course of history.

In the following chapters, we will walk through the individual buildings of Prague Castle together, i.e. St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica, the Old Royal Palace, and finally the Golden Lane.

These buildings are accessible to visitors with a Prague Castle ticket, which is not included in this product. The product is designed for clients who already have a ticket but would like to learn much more about the history and interiors of each building during their independent visit without having to participate in guided tours. With our audio guide, it is entirely up to you how long you want to stay in each building and you can go through everything at your own pace without having to rush.

This is the second building that the audio guide describes in great detail

The Golden Lane at Prague Castle is located between the wall of its northern fortification and the old purgatory. The houses built into the niches of the wall from the end of the 16th century were inhabited until World War II.
