A visit to Prague Castle with a local guide is mandatory. We were fortunate to have as our guide Ms. Bianca, a very knowledgeable and heated guide who told us about the castle but also expounded on the history of the Czech Republic with passion. So I recommend this visit as a first of the city, you understand facts that on the internet you do not immediately find but only in the experience of those born in this country.

Ticketing with Headout was fast and easy. The tourguide was friendly, and gave us plenty of information. Since my wife and me have been the only once's in the German speaking group it was a kind of VIP experience.

Explore Prague Castle’s highlights

Your adventure begins at the Malostranská metro station, where you'll meet your guide. Board a scenic tram ride up to Prague Castle, enjoying beautiful city views as you ascend. Once there, skip the lines and delve into the castle complex with your expert guide, who can unveil its secrets in English, Italian, German, Spanish, or French. In the Old Royal Palace, see the Vladislav Hall, the very site of the infamous Defenestration of Prague that sparked the Thirty Years’ War. Step inside the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral and look out for the stained glass windows and 14th-century mosaic. See the tombs of revered figures like St. Wenceslas and Charles IV, learning about their significance in Czech history.

A journey through time

Continue to the St. George's Basilica, contrasting its serene atmosphere with the castle's grandeur. Admire the fragments of ancient frescoes and ascend the double staircase, where the remains of St. Ludmila rest.

Discover the lives of artists and goldsmiths who once resided here, including the legendary Franz Kafka.
