Prague Castle Tour
- 6th November 2014
- Average duration: 4 hours (10:00 – 14:00)
- Meeting point: Hotel Intercontinental???
Prague Castle is devoted to gardens and fountains, towers and churches, palaces and summer-houses. Today the castle is primarily the residence of the President of The Czech Republic. It also includes a magnificent gallery and a treasury.
During the walking tour of the castle participants enjoy several courtyards and will pass the main building and the impressive St. Vitus Cathedral before they continue to the so-called Golden Lane. Rudolph II reserved the lane for the 24 marksmen who guarded the castle gate and the prisons. In time, however, the Golden Lane became a refuge for the poor. At Nr. 22 Franz Kafka lived for a while.
The tour continues to Little Quarter (Mala Strana), which was founded in 1257 and spreads on slopes under the Prague Castle. Via Nerudova is the picturesque narrow street that leads up to the Prague Castle as a part of Royal Way.
The finish will be the famous Charles Bridge; a stone Gothic bridge connecting the Old Town and Mala Strana (The Lesser Town) is placed on the top of every Prague visitor’s must-see list.
