Starting Point: Lví Dvůr

Address: U Prašného mostu 51/6, 118 00 Praha 1-Hradčany

We invite you on an unforgettable journey through some of the most picturesque corners of Prague — a tour where every step is steeped in history and every street holds its own secrets. We begin our adventure at the Lion’s Court, once home to real lions — symbols of royal power. Here, under the shade of ancient trees and the chime of cathedral bells, we step into the legendary Prague Castle, the very heart of the Czech kingdom.

We’ll immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of grandeur and spirituality as we enter St. Vitus Cathedral — a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the guardian of the Czech crown jewels. You’ll hear stories of Charles IV, the cathedral’s patrons, and the mysticism that lingers beneath its soaring vaults. There will be time to take stunning photographs filled with light, shadow, and the magical colors of stained glass.

Next, we stroll through the grounds of the Old Royal Palace, where the fate of the nation was once decided. Feel like part of history as you stand in Vladislav Hall, where knights once jousted and royal receptions took place.

Our next stop is the Basilica of St. George, one of the oldest Christian churches in Prague. Its austere Romanesque style takes us back through the centuries, evoking the humility and strength of early Christianity.

Then, we step into the fairytale world of Golden Lane, where legend has it alchemists once worked under Emperor Rudolf II. These tiny, colorful houses seem plucked from a storybook. You’ll hear fascinating tales about their former inhabitants — and capture some unforgettable shots along the way.

As we arrive at Hradčany Square, an enchanting panoramic view of Prague opens before us — red rooftops, church spires, bridges spanning the Vltava, and the city stretching endlessly into the distance. We’ll pause here to soak in the moment, breathe in the crisp air, and preserve the memory in our minds — and on camera.

Our path then leads us downhill along the charming Nerudova Street — one of the most beautiful in the city. You’ll discover why the houses here bear ornate symbols instead of numbers: golden keys, red lions, white swans. Every step down this street tells a unique story.

We finish our journey at Malá Strana Square, dominated by the majestic Church of St. Nicholas — a Baroque masterpiece with a breathtaking dome and lavish interior. We’ll step inside to admire its grand design and imagine the music of Mozart, which once echoed within these sacred walls.

This walk through Prague is more than just a tour — it’s a true voyage through the ages. Expect surprising discoveries, legendary tales, architectural wonders, and the magical atmosphere of a city that will capture your heart. Bring comfortable shoes, a camera, and a sense of wonder — and join us for a journey into the soul of Prague!


Important! Recommendations for a comfortable journey :

To make a walk in Prague a pleasure, choose comfortable shoes and clothes according to the weather. The city’s cobblestones and hilly streets require comfortable footwear, and the changeable weather means being prepared for surprises. It’s worth taking warm clothes in the cooler seasons, and a hat and sunglasses in summer. Don’t forget an umbrella – it can start raining unexpectedly in Prague.

The tour includes a long walk, but it will be comfortable even for unprepared travellers. It is only important to take care of a small rucksack for personal belongings and a bottle of water in advance.

Lunch is not included, but the guide will be happy to recommend tried and tested restaurants with traditional Czech cuisine where you can enjoy the best local specialities.

With these simple tips, the walk will be even more enjoyable and your Prague experience will be unforgettable!
