Itinerario
Descubra la fascinante historia de 1.100 años detrás del complejo de castillos más grande del mundo en un recorrido privado a pie de 3 horas 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.

We loved the tour around the Prague castle with Vadim! He's got so much knowledge and is excellent at sharing it. I would definitely advise to take this tour, with an additional remark that it would even be better to plan this tour after a more general introduction tour into Prague. We would have even better been able able to put the whole story in a larger perspective if we would have taken that more general introduction tour before as well. That's something Insight Cities does as well and even though we did not take that tour, considering our other experiences with them I expect it to be great and valuable too!
We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour. It makes us proud of our exceptional guide team and wide range of tours. Please try us again when you travel in Prague, Vienna, Berlin, Salzburg and Budapest.
We had a great experience with Bonita and Vadim. We joined Vadim for a behind the ropes visit to the Strahov Library before meeting up with Bonita for a tour of the castle complex. They are both such amazing guides--so engaging and interesting-- we wished we could have spent all of our time in Prague with them! I am confident that any tour with them would be amazing and I look forward to booking with them again.
Thanks so much for your review! Both Bonita & Vadim are fantastic guides and we are so glad you were able to have them both guide you through the beautiful city of Prague. We look forward to seeing you on another Insight Cities tour in the future!
We toured Prague with the intro tour with Vadim, and he was so good we came back for the Power, Glory, and Destruction tour the next day. He combined facts and anecdotes in a way that made the tours both informative and memorable. My understanding of Prague history is so much deeper now — definitely recommend!!
We're so grateful for this review -- Vadim will be so happy to read this. Let us know if you'd like more touring in our Central European cities. -- Elizabet at Insight Cities
Vadim, our guide, was one of the best guides we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is very knowledgeable and extremely generous with his time. His explanations of the castle complex and St. Vitus Cathedral made it all come alive for us. The time spent with Vadim made our time in Prague a true pleasure. By ourselves we could not have gotten to appreciate the complex nearly as much as we did. I can't praise him enough!
We're so glad the tour was such a positive experience for you and a meaningful part of your travels. Thank you for the review! Insight Cities
We toured the Prague Castle Complex with Vadim, and he was amazing! He was interesting and informative, and he knew the best times to tour each sight so we were never in large crowds. He answered every question we asked and some we didn't ask. The complex is large, and we would have missed so much if we went by ourselves.
Thanks so much for letting us know you enjoyed it! We really appreciate it. Elizabet at Insight Cities
This tour was FANTASTIC!!! Vadim was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he was showing and explaining. Also, Bonita was so easy to work with beforehand. Very accommodating and reliable!!! Highly recommend!!!
Thank you for leaving such a positive review!! Vadim & Bonita will be thrilled.
I've used Insight Cities for years for touring our student groups through Cold War history and the Old Town. This was my first year using them for a castle tour. As usual, Vadim gave us an lively discussion and really opened up the Castle's history in a deep way. The students always enjoy his tours and this one was no different. Thanks Vadim!
Thanks so much! It is just wonderful to see travelers and student groups again after this long ordeal. We really appreciate the lovely feedback and look forward to your next group!
We had an incredible experience with Vadim. He knew so much - the four people in our small group were professors/art historians and interested in history. He recognized that we weren't the 'typical' tourists who just wanted a few stories - but wanted all the details - so he gave us all the details & stories - we LOVED it! And I think he enjoyed having people who really wanted to hear the in-depth information - and he stayed with us longer than the 3 hours we had booked. We HIGHLY recommend - especially if you want more than just the 'typical' tour and stories. Vadim was excellent! He was also personable and enjoyable - we learned a bit about his own story, too - which made it even more fun! Great job, Vadim!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable & presented a great tour. The best things about this trip was how we were able to dodge the long lines by knowing back ways into the gardens, being able to customize out trip by buying tram tickets to start at the top & work our way down & to find a charming, non-touristy cafe for some water, pastries & a brief respite off of our feet. I would highly recommend this trip to see Prague.
<p>Our guide was a local and was great. She provided lots of information and even stayed a little late with us as we were derailed by a heavy rainstorm. The castle and all its surroundings are amazing. Would highly recommend this tour.</p>
