Itinerario
Descubra la fascinante historia de 1.100 años detrás del complejo de castillos más grande del mundo en un recorrido a pie de 3 horas en grupo pequeño por el Castillo de Praga y el Distrito Real con un guía de historiadores. Esta visita guiada a pie lo llevará al imponente castillo de Praga en la cima de la colina Hradčany a través del Jardín Real y sobre el foso de ciervos. Vea los edificios antiguos, que han sido construidos y reconstruidos en todos los estilos arquitectónicos, incorporando monumentos románicos, góticos, barrocos, rococó, renacentistas y neoclásicos. Aprende sobre los edificios del castillo con tu guía de historiadores y cómo han sido bombardeados por artillería, saqueados por ejércitos merodeadores y deteriorados por indiferentes emperadores austríacos a lo largo de los años. Permita que su guía le dé vida a esta historia con su vasto conocimiento del turbulento pasado del país. Recomendamos reservar un recorrido por la tarde si su horario lo permite, ya que el complejo del castillo a menudo está menos concurrido.
Pasea por el Renaissance Ball Game Hall, donde los aristócratas deportivos jugaban al tenis con el Emperador. Admira al esgrafiado renacentista que representa las alegorías de las virtudes, las artes y las ciencias.
La más pura arquitectura renacentista fuera de Italia, la casa de verano de la reina Ana en los Jardines Reales del Castillo de Praga fue encargada por Fernando I a mediados de 1500. Fue convertido en un observatorio astronómico por Rudolf II. Entre los invitados, estaban Tycho de Brahe, Johanes Kepler e incluso el propio emperador, quien murió aquí después de perder el título real.
La catedral de San Vito en Praga es una de las catedrales más monumentales de Europa Central y representa un destacado ejemplo de arquitectura gótica. Fundada en la primera mitad del siglo XIV, finalmente se completó 600 años más tarde en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. La catedral es el sitio de la cripta real de soberanos checos y santos patronos. De particular interés son la tumba barroca de San Juan de Nepomuk, el primer mártir del Sello del Confesionario, fundida en plata y gótica Capilla de San Wenceslao que alberga reliquias del santo.
Pasee por el magnífico Salón Vladislav, construido a finales del siglo XV, que combina el gótico tardío con el nuevo estilo renacentista. Era el escenario de festividades de coronación y banquetes, y torneos de caballeros. Los caballeros entrarían al salón para participar en las competiciones de justas con armadura completa y a caballo a través de la Escalera de los Jinetes, que fue diseñada precisamente para ese propósito. Entra en el ala Ludwig para ver la ventana a través de la cual los miembros de los Estados checos defenestraron a dos gobernadores austríacos y a su escriba, lo que provocó la Guerra de los Treinta Años, uno de los conflictos más destructivos de la historia humana.
Entre en la austera y monumental basílica románica construida en el siglo XI. Compare su arquitectura e interior con el estilo gótico recién visitado de la Catedral de San Vito.
Camine por esta pintoresca calle diminuta Originalmente construida en el siglo XVI para albergar a los guardias del castillo de Rudolf II. Entra en las pequeñas habitaciones que ahora albergan principalmente tiendas de recuerdos. Hay un museo de armería medieval dentro de la antigua fortificación del siglo XIV accesible desde Golden Lane. Golden Lane está conectado con Dalibor Tower, que solía ser una mazmorra.

Excellent. We wanted a small personal tour... Not a tour with 20+ people. Robert, our guide, was entertaining and very knowledgeable. We also had a two year old in tow in a stroller and had a great time!
Thanks for the warm feedback. That makes our day. And thanks for recommending Insight Cities tour to your friends traveling to Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and Salzburg. Safe travels!
We had an amazing castle tour with Katrin! We learned so much history about the castle and Lesser Town that we never would have known if we had tried to walk around the castle on our own. Katrin is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell that she is very passionate about history and enjoys her job. Take this tour... you won't regret it!
Thank you for taking the time to review. We're proud to work with such terrific guides. Hope to see you again on Insight Cities tours in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg. Please tell your friends!
This tour was of a superior nature. The guide was phenomenal, talented in history presentations and extremely knowledgeable of the regional history. Would recommend him many times over.
Thanks so much for your kind review. We hope to see you on another Insight Cities tour in any of our cities - Prague, Vienna, Berlin, Budapest, or Salzburg.
This was the very best tour we have ever been on! Vadim was an amazing guide, and kept myself and my 15 year old son engaged and fascinated the whole time. His knowledge was extensive, and the interesting facts he shared about Prague's history brought the city to life. I highly recommend booking this tour. My only regret is that we did the tour at the end of our trip instead of the beginning. We were disappointed we didn't get to explore the city with the perspective that Vadim shared. We'll just have to go back. P.S. We loved the tour so much, we booked one with Insight Cities Vienna right after. 5 stars for that one, too!
Thanks so much for your review! Vadim is a fantastic guide and we are so glad you had a great time with him. And thank you for booking one of our tours in Vienna as well! We look forward to having you back on our tours in any one of our cities - Prague, Vienna, Berlin, Budapest, & Salzburg.
The history of the architecture, nobility, emperors and religion. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He shared many interesting antidotes throughout the tour. He also suggested additional places to visit on our next 2 days in Prague.
Thank you for leaving a review, Lisa! We're glad you enjoyed your tour. Insight Cities
This is one of the best tours I have ever had. Vadim is simply incredible. What makes his style so noteworthy is how he brings history to life in a way that only the best tour guides/teachers can. When you take this tour he sets the stage for the various historical times periods making sure you understand all the significant ideas of the time as well as the important historical figures. I have not felt so engaged with the history of a place then on this tour. He also knows the best places to stop for some incredible Czech beer and food.
Vadim was an excellent tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and it was obvious that he did the research and knew the material and that he wasn't reading from a script. He pointed out all the little details I would have missed. He was able to answer all our questions and was very friendly and kept everyone engaged in the tour. The best part was he knew a great pub or brewery near everything! Great tour highly recommend!
The Prague Castle and its grounds are beautiful, but unless you go with a guide like Vadim, you'll miss so much of the history and nuances of Czech culture. Vadim is smart, witty, and deeply knowledgable guide.
We're so glad you enjoyed the tour. We're proud to offer great tours with team of experts. Hope to see you on Insight Cities tours again in Vienna, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, and Salzburg. Have a great summer and thanks for reviewing!
Bonita was an excellent guide. she was very knowledgeable and was easy with any questions we had. it was a pleasure to have her as our guide
Thanks for the nice feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you and help you explore this wonderful old Bohemian capital. It would be great to see you agian on Insight Cities tours in Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapests and Salzburg. Have a great summer.
Prague Castle is so beautiful and we just didn't want the tour to end! Super guide, attentive, good at weaving in and out of the crowds and a terrific story teller. Very worthwhile.
