Private Prague Castle and Lobkowicz Palace Half-Day Tour

Summary

Meet your guide at your Prague hotel, hop inside your private, climate-controlled Mercedes Benz vehicle, and travel directly to UNESCO-listed Prague Castle. Tell your guide if there’s anything you want to see more or less of: as your tour is private, the itinerary can be adjusted around your personal wishes. On arrival, enter the walled fortress — the world’s largest self-contained castle complex — and tour its highlights with your informative guide. Stroll by handsome courtyards and buildings, and learn how the castle, once the seat of Bohemia’s kings, Holy Roman Emperors, and Czechoslovakia’s presidents, is still a symbol of Czech nationhood more than 1,100 years from its founding in 870. Enter the Third Courtyard and tour magnificent St Vitus Cathedral, one of Europe’s largest churches, as your guide shares its history. Then, visit the Old Royal Palace, one of the castle’s oldest buildings, and explore Golden Lane, the picture-perfect alleyway of cottages that once housed servants, goldsmiths, and soldiers. Lastly, head inside the 16th-century Lobkowicz Palace to see the Czech Republic’s largest private art collection. Stroll the corridors to view masterpieces by greats like Canaletto, Rubens, and Brueghel, and other treasures. Your 4-hour tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.
