HRADCANY (CASTLE HILL)
There are not many cities around the globe that possess the same degree of historical significance as the city of Prague. Your 6-hour guided tour will begin from the Get Prague Guide office at Maiselova 5, just a 4-minute walk from the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square. See the famous Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock. Gazing at the mechanical apostle's parade as the clock strikes the hour (9 AM to 11 PM) is a soothing experience. The calendar and the complex mechanism that sets the twelve apostles marching is an insight into the engineering and scientific know-how of the pioneers of the Renaissance. Charles Bridge will be your next major stop. Take some time to admire the sculptures and statues that overlook the Vltava River. The guide will give you some interesting information about the bridge and its rich history. After crossing the bridge, you can take a tram to Prague Castle. The Castle District, also known as Hradcany, is the jewel of Prague. Its immense historical value and intriguing culture will absorb you into the heart of the city. Exploring the castle and its grand interiors while you take in the view of Prague is an unforgettable experience. There’s no better way to top off this incredible tour than a bellyful of food from one of Old Town’s most renowned restaurants that has been around for a century! Finally, a pleasant cruise will mark the end of the tour. Immerse yourself in the stunning views all around you as you float atop the Vltava River in a comfortable cruise boat. You will come across some of the most iconic monuments in Prague during the cruise.
Fall in love with Prague at perhaps its most magical time - at night. This 3-hour tour takes place just as darkness falls and the main crowds melt away.

Your first stop is the Strahov Monastery (it dates back to 1140), from where you can admire the entire city below you. Drive onwards through the Hradcany quarter to the Prague Castle and see the Lesser Town below you. The last leg of your tour will take you to a special brewery, where you can sip on a delicious beer or wine.
