– a tour on the right bank of Vltava river, you go through the Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, Square of Republic, Small Square and the military fortress Vyšehrad.
(Duration: up to 3.5 hours)
You will start your tour in the New Town, in Wenceslas Square (former Horse Market) at the riding statue of the Czech national patron Saint Wenceslas. Strolling down the Square, you will find lots of newer and highly praised architectures from the 20´s and 30´s of the 20th century.
The New Town was founded in 1348 as the only geometrically planned Prague quarter with wide streets and large squares for markets. This quarter is a place in Prague where the Prague people go shopping and drinking, where they go for lunch and to gym, where they meet and socialize. Compare to the prices in the Old Town, the New Town is cheaper and a place where every second house is an office building and where the common Prague people walk. The pearles of the New Town are the National Museum with traditional Czech collections, the National Theatre, the best example of Prague Art Nouveau style – the Municipal house, a cultural centre with a concert hall, Pilsner pub and an incredible French restaurant as well as galleries and halls for dancing balls. Across from it, you find Prague newest large shopping mall Palladium, and the Art Decco shopping passages Lucerna, Svetozor, Rokoko, Blanik, Alfa.
The tour continues to the Old Town, the oldest Prague quarter with charming gothic churches, the Old Town Square with the Tyn cathedral, the National Gallery, the Old City Hall with the Astronomical Clock from 1490, picturesque small narrow lanes connecting the direction leading to Vltava river, National library Klementinum with the Mirror Concert Hall. The Old Town is a place in Prague where all tourists go first to get into the right mood of the City, to get a good Pilsner beer or sweet punch on the Christmas market and to hit the crowds…
The third part of the tour, where you get by the public transportation, is a former medieval Prague central military fortress Vyšehrad, originally the oldest mystic Prague royal settlement where you visit the viewpoint facing the Prague Castle to see the City from the South. You will enter the National Cemetery to see decorated graves of the best Czech artists incl. composer Bedrich Smetana and Saint Paul and Peter´s Cathedral.
All the admissions are paid directly by the clients incl. public transportation.
This is a half a day tour. We kindly recommend to start the tour around 9 a.m. before the big crowds of people get in the streets or around 2 p.m. which is a time when the most tourists go for lunch and the centre of Prague is emptier.
Thank you for your understanding.
