Get ready (we recommend to go there in the morning to avoid the crowds), wear a pair of trainers, a windproof jacket and go!

The best way how to fold up the puzzle of important historical events and fun facts is to join a local guide for the Prague Castle walking tour.

Let a local guide take you around the architects’ paradise and admire the sacred heart of the Czech Republic, the St.Vitus Cathedral or the Old Royal Palace, the home of Czech kings.

Dive into the Golden Lane

9 out of 10 points for the most romantic part of Prague go to the Golden Lane. According to a legend a mysterious place where the world-famous alchemist Edward Kelley worked on turning metal into gold, in reality a place where only the poorest of the poorest built their shelters in the 16th century.

The poor shelters are long gone, and instead you can admire cute little houses where even Franz Kafka moved to find his piece to write.

Enjoy the best views

Have you been playing with the idea to propose to your girlfriend? Easy! Walk just around 5 minutes from the Prague castle towards the Strahow monastery and get your courage from the monks!
