Iconic Landmarks, Rural Charm Explore Prague’s fairy-tale charm, from its medieval streets to its grand castle, with guided tours and free time to soak in its history, architecture, and beer culture.
Trip Overview:
Prague is the capital of the Czechia. This magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes is mirrored on the surface of the swan-filled Vltava River. Almost undamaged by WWII, Prague's medieval centre remains a wonderful mixture of cobbled lanes, walled courtyards, cathedrals and countless church spires all in the shadow of her majestic 9th century castle.
On arrival, check into your hotel of choice for a 3 night stay and immediately begin your exploration of Prague with a bus tour which will include the Rudolfinum, an impressive concert hall and home to the Czech Philharmonic, the Municipal House, another outstanding concert hall, the Powder Tower, one of the original city gates dating back to the 11th Century, the Opera House, the National Museum with its several million items, Wenceslas Square, site of many historic events, the Dancing House, a very non-traditional architectural structure co-designed by Vlado Milunic and Frank Gehry and the famous Charles Bridge with its 30 baroque statues and which connects Old Town with Lesser Town
From here, begin a walking tour, first to the awe-inspiring Hradcany/Prague Castle dating back to the 9th Century and the largest ancient castle in the world. Then it’s on to the baroque Loreta Church and St. Vitus Cathedral with its lookout tower, part of the castle precincts and the most important church in the country. Cross over the Charles Bridge and finish up in Old Town.
The Czechia is the country where modern beer (pivo in Czech) was invented (in Plzen). So it is fitting to visit the Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Plzen, 90 kilometres/55 miles from Prague in the afternoon. Spend time leaning the beer making process.
The next two days are free to explore this wonderful colourful city on your own.
