Overview

Experience the magical atmosphere of Prague after dark. Let your guide take you around the streets of Old Town, and see the illuminated Prague Castle at night.

Highlights

  • Experience the unique and magical atmosphere of Prague at night
  • See the city when the crowds are gone and the landmarks are illuminated
  • Follow your guide in the footsteps of emperors and alchemists, uncovering legends and history

As dusk falls and the crowds thin, your guide will take you through the heart of Old Town, across the Vltava (Moldau), and into the largest palace complex in the world – Prague Castle. On your way there, wander past places like New World, Strahov Monastery, or Prague Loreto. Take in the tales full of magic and alchemy, including the legend of the Golem or the Devil's Bible.

Your guide will tell you about the city's dark and often esoteric history, from “Good King” Wenceslas to Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. You'll also hear stories from the golden age of Prague during Emperor Rudolf II.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to see Prague Castle and its surroundings in a quiet, enchanted atmosphere, without the bustle of people. You'll pass by the Golden Lane that was, for one brief period in time, home to the famous author Franz Kafka. The cost of public transport from Lesser Town to the Castle area is included in the tour price.
