Tour Description
As the sun sets and Prague’s ancient streets come alive with lights and shadows, embark on an enchanting evening tour through the heart of this historic city, ending with a serene dinner cruise along the Vltava River.
Our tour begins at the Powder Tower, one of Prague’s oldest gates, where the warm glow of city lights creates a dramatic introduction to the city’s medieval character. From here, we continue to the Carolinum, the ancient university founded by Charles IV, illuminated to reveal its striking architecture and centuries-old legacy of learning and innovation.
Next, we reach the Estates Theatre, a celebrated venue where Mozart himself conducted the premiere of Don Giovanni. The building’s elegant façade takes on a magical aura at night, making it easy to imagine the historical performances that once filled its walls. A short walk brings us to St. James Church, whose baroque exterior stands grandly against the evening sky, its intricate details enhanced by subtle lighting.
Our path then leads us to the Týn Courtyard, a hidden gem in Prague’s Old Town that exudes an intimate charm, especially under the night sky. Nearby, we come to the Church of Our Lady before Týn, with its iconic Gothic spires piercing the skyline. Under the moonlight, this church presents an ethereal beauty, embodying Prague’s medieval allure.
At Old Town Square, the city’s historical heart, the sights and sounds of Prague’s lively nightlife surround you. Admire the world-renowned Astronomical Clock (Orloj), a true marvel that enchants viewers with its hourly show. The surrounding square, alive with street performers, cafés, and locals, embodies Prague’s unique spirit.
We continue our evening at the Klementinum, a baroque masterpiece that houses Prague’s oldest library. The illuminated halls and towers of the Klementinum create an atmosphere rich with history and elegance, leading us to our final landmark on foot, the Charles Bridge. As you walk across this iconic bridge, enjoy the soft sounds of the Vltava River below, with the city lights reflecting on the water and musicians serenading passersby.
The grand finale of this evening tour is a two-hour Vltava River Dinner Cruise. Aboard a comfortable boat, enjoy a delicious buffet featuring Czech and international cuisine, while the city’s landmarks unfold in a new light along the riverbanks. The guide’s commentary brings each sight to life, from the Prague Castle glistening above, to the National Theatre, and the charming rooftops of Lesser Town.
This cruise offers the perfect mix of relaxation and sightseeing. From the boat’s deck, take in views of the Charles Bridge, the Old Town’s romantic architecture, and the modern lights of Prague’s riverside nightlife. The leisurely pace allows you to absorb the essence of Prague’s beauty from the best vantage point, making for an unforgettable evening immersed in the city’s history, charm, and night-time magic.
