Who was the most eccentric emperor in Europe? What were alchemists, astronomers, and spies doing at Prague Castle? And why does this place still hide so many stories?
If you're looking for a visit full of dates and names that are impossible to remember… this is probably not the sightseeing tour for you.
But if you prefer to discover the castle through fascinating characters, curious stories, and places that most visitors overlook, you're going to love it.
On this private tour, we'll explore the gardens, courtyards, and vantage points of Prague Castle, far from the hustle and bustle and the long lines. You'll learn about the unforgettable Rudolf II, an emperor as brilliant as he was extravagant, and discover how he made Prague the capital of alchemy, science, and art.
We'll also talk about kings, saints, spies, conspiracies, and some of the city's most famous legends as we stroll through the Royal Gardens, the South Gardens, the Deer Moat, and other places that many tourists never get to see.
⭐ This sightseeing tour covers the gardens, courtyards, and grounds of Prague Castle. It does not include a visit inside St. Vitus Cathedral or the other historic buildings.
And that's precisely one of its advantages.
Instead of spending a lot of time waiting to enter the monuments, you'll discover the history of the castle in the very place where it happened. Afterwards, if you decide to visit the interiors on your own, you'll understand what you're seeing much better and you'll be able to enjoy the experience in a completely different way.
As this is a private tour, the sightseeing tour is tailored to your group. No rushing, no rigid schedules, and time to ask questions, stop wherever you want, and enjoy Prague Castle as if you were touring it with a friend who lives here.
