Prague Sightseeing
These are just ideas, contact us to organize your city stay.
Here, the last 1,000 years of triumphs in art and architecture have collided, often violently, with power politics and religious conflicts. While Bohemia has been the fulcrum of wars over the centuries, it has settled into a post-Cold War peace, spiked with a rough transition to a capitalist economy.
While Prague’s rich collection of Gothic, baroque, and Renaissance buildings has stood stoically through all the strife, the streets and squares fronting the grand halls have often been the stages for tragedy. The well-worn cobblestones have felt the hooves of kings’ horses, the jackboots of Hitler’s armies, the heaving wheels of Soviet tanks, and the shuffling feet of students in passive revolt.
Prague’s most intriguing aspects are its architecture and atmosphere, best enjoyed while slowly wandering through the city’s heart. So, with that in mind, your itinerary should be a loose one. If you have the time and energy, go to Charles Bridge at sunrise and then at sunset to view the grand architecture of Prague Castle and the Old Town skyline. You’ll see two completely different cities.
Below you find some tours we provide for our clients in Prague and suggested itineraries. These are available private and in groups. Private tours can be done any time when sites are open and clients are picked up an dropped off at their hotel.
