The Castle as one clear route through Czech history
Prague Castle is more a district than a single sight. This tour gives it order: meet in Malá Strana, take the tram up on the included ticket, and enter the main buildings with a local guide and tickets arranged.
The route links St Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St George's Basilica and Golden Lane, with time for the cathedral's stained glass, the vast Vladislav Hall and the room of the Defenestration that started the Thirty Years' War.
Best for a first visit or a short stay, when the complex needs context and a sensible route.
