The Prague Castle and Castle District Walking Tour lasts about two and a half hours and begins at Jan Palach Square in front of the Rudolfinum. Participants meet their local guide here before crossing Charles Bridge, a medieval stone arch bridge over the Vltava River. After crossing the bridge, the group takes a historic Prague tram up to the castle hill. During the tram ride, the guide provides commentary about the city's history and landmarks. Upon arrival at Prague Castle, the tour continues on foot with a detailed visit inside the castle complex, which dates back to the 9th century and is the largest medieval castle in the world. Key sites visited include St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, and St. George’s Basilica. After exploring these main landmarks and some lesser-known areas within the castle grounds, the tour proceeds on foot through the Malá Strana district. This area is known for its noble palaces, cobblestone streets, and baroque architecture. The tour concludes in the castle gardens, which offer panoramic views over Prague. Tram tickets are not included and must be purchased separately in advance. The local guide provides commentary throughout the tour, which runs in all weather conditions. Children up to thirteen years old may join free of charge but need a valid transportation ticket. The tour is not recommended for wheelchair users.
