Beat the big crowds. Explore the Prague Castle at 10am.

This tour gives you the must-see landmarks. Parade Gate. The Presidential Guard. The panoramic view over the city of 100 spires. Saint Vitus Cathedral.

But we also take you backstage. After all, this is a Discover Walks tour. Backstage at the Castle means “Mala Strana”. The district at the foot of the castle, where the servants of King and Court resided. Nerudova Street, embassy lane, medieval alleys, Saint Nicolas etc.

Finally, this tour gives you the events that happened in the Castle. The Day when Hitler is said to have lost WWII. The day lead turned to gold. Or what the court’s astronomers, Kepler and Brahe, did to astronomy.

Leading this tour is a born resident of Prague, a local selected for her/his knowledge of the city, warm personality and sense of story-telling.
Please note that in order to show you more, this tour does not go inside each building.
