3-hour Prague by Night Walking Tour
Description
The best way to see this magnificent city and her full beauty is in the evening after the crowds have passed, cars have parked and tourists have retired to their hotels. This is a magical time when the gems of the city are lit-up against the night sky.

Itinerary
This is where the walk begins. Here, you'll not only hear about the history of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, but also learn which regions make up the country and discover the main historical districts of Prague. Before you set off on the route, you’ll also hear a bit about the iconic National Theatre building and its modern counterpart, the New Stage.
Kampa is one of the most charming and peaceful corners of Prague, nestled between the Vltava River and the historical Lesser Town. Here, you’ll also spot the famous giant baby sculptures by Czech artist David Černý—both strange and unforgettable!
The John Lennon Wall is an iconic spot in Prague, filled with vibrant graffiti and messages of peace, love, and freedom. Originally a symbol of resistance during Communist times, today it’s a colorful, ever-changing attraction loved by locals and tourists alike.
From Charles Bridge, you can enjoy stunning views of Prague Castle, the Vltava River, and the historic skyline of the Old Town.
The Church of St. Nicholas in Lesser Town is one of the most impressive Baroque buildings in Prague, easily recognizable by its green dome and towering bell tower. Its beautifully decorated facade makes it a true architectural highlight of the historic city center.
In the evening, Prague Castle is beautifully illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere above the city. The stunning St. Vitus Cathedral is also lit up, highlighting its dramatic gothic towers against the night sky.
Jan Palach Square is named after the Czech student who became a national symbol of protest and sacrifice for freedom. This spacious square is surrounded by important cultural institutions, including the Rudolfinum concert hall and Charles University buildings. With beautiful views across the river and nearby Prague Castle, it's a popular spot for visitors and locals alike.

This was a fantastic and beautiful tour of Prague. Eva was so friendly and shared lots of Czech life as well as history. She modified the tour based on what she knew we would see on a future tour. She was super knowledgeable about all the art and architecture. Walking pace was perfect! Seeing the castle area at night, with fewer people was a magical experience not to be missed!
Dear Susan, Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Eva and that she was able to adapt it nicely around the rest of your plans. Prague Castle in the evening really does have a completely different atmosphere once the crowds disappear. Thank you again for joining us, and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Prague just as much! With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
Excellent tour and guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommend if you are in Prague.

Thanks so much, Marija! I'm so happy you enjoyed your time in Prague. It was a pleasure spending the day with you. Hope to see you back here again one day! 😊 With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
A very good private tour that takes you around the Prague Castle and the surrounding areas. The tour guide was super-friendly, knowledgeable and was passionate about their job. If you are looking for a tour that will show you the hidden gems of Prague then look no further.
Dear Elias, Thank you very much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Lucie helped you discover some of Prague's hidden gems. Just one small note - although it happened to be a private tour because no one else joined that evening, it's normally a shared tour. We're glad you got to enjoy the extra benefit of having the guide all to yourselves. 😊 Thank you once again, and we hope to welcome you back to Prague in the future! With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
This tour gave us a wonderful experience of learning more about Prague and the Czech history. You’ll be stunned at the sights, city vibe and stories, you'll feel like visiting a Prague friend and walk away with a better understanding of the city and the country’s history. We highly recommend! Petra was a great host, informative, witty and engaging.
Dear Gabi, Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We really appreciate it! I'm especially happy to hear that you felt like you were exploring Prague with a local friend - that's exactly the experience we're trying to create. 😊 I'll make sure Petra sees your review; she'll be thrilled to know how much you enjoyed the evening. Thank you once again, and if your travels ever bring you back to Prague, we'd love to show you even more of our city. With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
The experience with Maketa has been wonderful. Maketa is professional, super nice and you can tell she loves her job. We have learned a lot about Prague thanks to it. Time has been getting very short. Real pleasure. Recommended 100%.
Thank you, Raquel, for choosing our services and for your wonderful review. We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Prague and that the tour with Marketa was such a positive experience for you. It always means a lot to us when our guests leave with great memories of the city. Below I am also sharing Marketa’s message for you: “Muchísimas gracias por vuestras palabras tan bonitas. Me alegro muchísimo de que os haya gustado el tour y de que hayáis disfrutado tanto de Praga. Fue un verdadero placer pasar ese tiempo con vosotras y enseñaros la ciudad :)!” (Markéta) Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back to Prague someday! With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
Ava was very knowledgeable and kind making sure our group got back to our hotel safely after the tour.
Dear Anne, Thank you very much for your kind words – we’re delighted that you enjoyed the tour. And we truly appreciate your note about Eva accompanying the group back to the hotel. In this case it worked very naturally, as you were a "private" group and your hotel happened to be right on her way home, so she gladly walked with you. We’re happy it added to your experience. With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
Great trip for night time photography. Because the group was small I was able to bring my tripod and take many multiple exposure night time photos
Thank you very much, Paul, for your nice review! 😊 I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the Prague by Night tour – it’s such a beautiful time for photography, and smaller groups make it much easier to slow down and capture the atmosphere. Glad you made the most of it and got some great shots! Thanks again for joining and for recommending the tour! Eva says hi! With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
Our Old Town, Prague Castle and Food Tours with Lenka from Prague Local Friends was the perfect way to begin our stay in this beautiful city. Lenka is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Prague's rich history and architecture, but she also brings a personal warmth and enthusiasm that made the experience truly special. She tailored the tour to our interests, shared local insights that we would never have discovered on our own, and brought the city’s past to life through engaging stories and thoughtful stops. From the hidden gems of the Old Town to breathtaking views of the castle, every moment was memorable. We especially appreciated her tips on where to eat, what to see later on, and how to navigate the city like a local. It felt more like being shown around by a good friend than taking a traditional tour. I highly recommend Prague Local Friends Tour Company, especially Kristian and Lenka, to anyone visiting Prague!
Mabel, thank you for your kind words. I’m very glad you enjoyed your time with Lenka – she’s a great guide and a lovely person, and I know she enjoyed showing you around too. It’s nice to hear that the mix of history, hidden spots, and local tips made your stay in Prague more special. Thank you for recommending us, and I hope we’ll see you in Prague again – there’s always more to discover.
Extremely knowledgeable. Knows every detail about every building. Church and area of Prague. Delightful person. Knew answer to every question we asked. Exceptional tour. She asked us specifically what we had already seen and took us to completely different places. I
Hi Tom – thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 😊 I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with Jana – she’s truly passionate about Prague and always makes sure each tour feels personal and unique. She’ll be very pleased to read your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience – thank you for choosing us! With many thanks and greetings, Kristian
