Prague Castle, for more than 1200 years the political heart of Bohemia and the Czech Republic, is the largest cohesive castle complex in the world. The spacious area, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage, includes both secular palaces and ecclesiastical objects that were built in different eras and architectural styles. Today, Prague Castle serves as the seat of the Czech president and is one of the most visited attractions in the Czech Republic. Meet your guide in the Old Town of Prague right next to the Charles Bridge, and cross the medieval bridge to the other bank, to what is known as the Lesser Town. Enjoy the beautiful panorama of Prague Castle from the Vltava River. Afterwards, you can take a break while riding the tram up to Prague Castle, admiring the unique view along the way. In the former royal and imperial residence, you will learn more about the glorious past of this country.
