Highlights
Outing Highlights
St. Vitus Cathedral
The tour reaches into the cathedral’s interior—where Bohemian kings are buried and coronation regalia are kept—allowing time to absorb the building’s medieval scale and sculpted detail.
Golden Lane
A short, colorful street of tiny houses and exhibitions, the Golden Lane presents domestic life at the castle across centuries and culminates the visit with curated displays inside the lane’s buildings.
St. George’s Basilica & Old Royal Palace
The itinerary includes interior visits to St. George’s Basilica and the Old Royal Palace, where the tour points out political touchstones—like the window tied to the Prague Defenestration—and the ceremonial spaces of the Bohemian monarchy.
