Resplan
Upptäck den fascinerande 1100-åriga historien bakom världens största slottkomplex på en privat 3-timmars vandringstur till Prags slott och Kungliga distriktet med en historikerguide. Denna guidade vandring tar dig till den imponerande Pragslottet uppe på Hradčany Hill genom den kungliga trädgården och över Stag Moat. Se de forntida byggnaderna som har konstruerats och rekonstruerats i alla arkitektoniska stilar med romanska, gotiska, barocka, rokoko-, renässans- och neoklassiska monument. Lär dig slottens byggnader från din historikguide och hur dessa har bombarderats av artilleri, plundrade av marauding arméer och lämnat att försämras av likgiltiga österrikiska kejsare under åren. Låt din guide leva upp denna historia med deras enorma kunskap om landets turbulenta förflutna. Vi rekommenderar att du bokar en eftermiddagsresa om ditt schema tillåter eftersom slottkomplexet ofta är mindre trångt då.
Promenera förbi Renaissance Ball Game Hall, där sportiga aristokrater spelade tennis med kejsaren. Beundrare renässansen sgraffito som beskriver allegorier om dygder, konst och vetenskaper.
Den renaste renässansarkitekturen utanför Italien, drottning Annes sommarhus i Kungliga trädgårdarna i Pragborgen beställdes av Ferdinand I i mitten av 1500-talet. Det omvandlades till ett astronomiskt observatorium av Rudolf II. Bland gästerna fanns Tycho de Brahe, Johanes Kepler och till och med kejsaren själv, som dog här efter att ha förlorat den kungliga titeln.
St. Vitus-katedralen i Prag är en av de mest monumentala katedralerna i Centraleuropa och representerar ett framträdande exempel på gotisk arkitektur. Grundades under första hälften av 1300-talet och slutfördes slutligen 600 år senare under första hälften av 1800-talet. Katedralen är platsen för den kungliga krypten av tjeckiska suveräner och skyddshelgon. Av särskilt intresse är den barocka graven av St. John of Nepomuk, den första martyren av Seal of the Confessional, gjuten i silver och det gotiska St. Wenceslas-kapellet som innehåller relikvier från helgen.
Gå igenom den magnifika Vladislav-hallen, byggd i slutet av 1400-talet och kombinerade sengotik med helt ny renässansstil. Det var scenen med kroningsfestligheter och banketter och riddarturneringar. Riddarna gick in i hallen för att delta i skymningstävlingarna i full rustning och på hästryggen genom Riders Trappa, som var designad just för detta ändamål. Gå in i Ludwig-vingen för att se fönstret genom vilket medlemmarna i de tjeckiska staterna fördärvade två österrikiska guvernörer och deras skribent, vilket ledde till trettioårskriget, en av de mest destruktiva konflikterna i mänsklig historia.
Kliv in i den stränga och monumentala romanska basilikan byggd på 1100 hundratals. Jämför arkitekturen och interiören med den just besökta gotiska stilen i St. Vitus-katedralen.
Gå igenom denna pittoreska, mindre gata Ursprungligen byggdes på 1500-talet för att hysa Rudolf IIs slottvakter. Gå in i de små rummen som nu mest husar souvenirbutiker. Det finns ett museum för medeltida arv i det forna 14-talets befästning som är tillgängligt från Golden Lane. Golden Lane är ansluten till Dalibor Tower, som brukade vara en fängelsehål.

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>
