The Timeless Beauty of St. Vitus Cathedral
Your first stop is the breathtaking St. Vitus Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic architecture that defines Prague’s skyline. Gaze up at the soaring spires and marvel at the cathedral’s intricate façade. Keep an eye out for the grotesque gargoyles—silent sentinels that have watched over Prague for centuries.
Step inside and feel the hush of history envelop you. The Art-Nouveau stained glass window by Czech master Alfons Mucha dazzles with vibrant colors and intricate designs, a masterpiece that beautifully bridges past and present. And don’t miss the 14th-century mosaic of the Last Judgment—a visual narrative of faith and power.
Legends and Tombs: The Cathedral’s Hidden Stories
Your guide will reveal the stories behind the cathedral’s most important tombs. Discover the final resting place of St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia, whose chapel glows with reverence and history. Nearby lie the tombs of King Charles IV—founder of Charles University—and the baroque tomb of St. John of Nepomuk, a shimmering silver masterpiece that commands attention.
The Old Royal Palace: Power and Drama
Next, step into the Old Royal Palace, the beating heart of Czech political history. Stand beneath the soaring vaults of the Vladislav Hall, an architectural marvel that once hosted jousting tournaments, royal coronations, and grand banquets.
But perhaps the most chilling chapter of the palace is the Defenestration of Prague—a moment of rebellion that sparked the Thirty Years War. Your guide will recount how, in 1618, Czech Protestant nobles threw the Catholic governors of the Habsburg emperor out of a window, forever changing the course of European history.
St. George’s Basilica: A Glimpse into the Romanesque
After the grandeur of the Old Royal Palace, the quiet beauty of St. George’s Basilica offers a poignant contrast. With its thick stone walls and ancient Romanesque architecture, this basilica is a window into Prague’s earliest days.
Climb the double staircase to see the resting place of St. Ludmila, a revered Czech saint and grandmother of St. Wenceslas. As your guide shares stories of faith and resilience, the 12th-century fresco fragments on the basilica walls will transport you back to a world of medieval piety.
Golden Lane: The Humble Lives of Prague’s Craftsmen
No visit to Prague Castle is complete without a stroll through the enchanting Golden Lane. These tiny, colorful cottages once housed the castle’s sharpshooters and goldsmiths. Over time, they became home to artists and dreamers—including the renowned Franz Kafka, whose writing captured the spirit of old Prague.
Explore the carefully reconstructed workshops and homes that line the lane. Peek into the lives of the castle’s working people, and imagine the bustling days of craftsmen and artisans who once called these cottages home.
