WALKING TOUR OF DOWNTOWN PRAGUE
approx. 3,5 hours | included: guide
This tour is a perfect introduction to the downtown area which is best seen while walking. You will walk the cobblestone streets of the Old Town and see where the former border between the Old Town and the New Town used to be located.
While standing on the Old Town Square famous for its Astronomical Clock, you can admire the 12 apostles hourly and the whole mechanism can be explained to you in detail. The oldest house in the city is also located here – it dates back to the 14th century. You will see the statue of Jan Hus in the middle of the square, the Kinski Palace which houses a gallery now and every single house on the square has a story worth telling. The twin towers of the Tyn Church are not part of the square but they are best seen from there and you will be amazed that such a mighty church can have such a small entrance.
You may choose to relax over a cup of coffee or a glass of beer at the old market place Ungelt before you continue towards the Powder Tower where the city ended seven centuries ago. Another “must see” is the Municipal House built in art nouveau style. You can either enjoy a concert in its elegant Smetana Hall or just have refreshments at one of its three restaurants after the tour.
You will continue to the bottom of Wenceslas square that witnessed the Velvet Revolution in November 1989 – the overthrow of communism. You will also pass the colourful fruit and vegetable market, then walk back to the Old Town Square and along the pedestrian Charles street to another “must” in Prague – the Charles Bridge. Not only it is the best place for taking pictures, but each of its 30 statues has its own story. By the time you finish listening to the stories, you are ready for a well-deserved rest at one of the many cafes along the Vltava River.

LESSER TOWN, PETRIN HILL, VYSEHAD FORT TOUR WITH A VEHICLE SUPPORT
approx. 3,5 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
The Lesser Town was founded in 1257 on the slopes below the Prague castle and it is the part of Prague least affected by recent history.
NERUDA STREET
Named after the poet and journalist Jan Neruda, who lived at No 47 in the House of Two Suns, it is the picturesque narrow street that leads up to Prague castle as a part of Royal Way. There is a splendid selection of heraldic emblems on the houses, for example the Red Eagle, the Three Fiddles, the Golden Horseshoe, the Green Lobster, the White Swan and many others.
There are also a number of grand Baroque buildings there, such as the Thun-Hohenstain Palace, the Morzin Palace, and the Church of Our Lady of Unceasing Succour.
LESSER TOWN SQUARE
As this was originally a market place, it has always been the centre of life in the Lesser Town with official buildings and restaurants. The important buildings include the St. Nicholas Church, the Town Hall, the Sternberg Palace and the Smiricky Palace. On the facade of the Baroque Kaiserstain Palace there is a bust of the great Czech soprano Emma Destinn.
ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH
It is the dominant of the Lesser Town Square and one of central Europe’s finest baroque buildings begun by Kristof Dientzenhofer, continued by his son Kilian and finished by Anselmo Lurago. The statues, frescos and paintings inside the church are made by leading artists of the day, such as Karel Skreta and Johann Kracker.
KAMPA ISLAND
Known as the Venice of Prague. Kampa Island has been formed by a branch of the River Vltava called the Devil’s Stream. Originally there were gardens only on the island but it was also used for washing clothes and bleaching linen. In the 17th century the island became well known for its pottery markets. It is an elegant part of Prague with a village-like character.
PETRIN HILL
With the height of 318 m the Petrin Hill is a network of eight parks offering magnificent panorama views of Prague. Most of the vineyards from the 12th century were transformed into gardens and orchards by the 18th century and today it is a great place for quiet walks easily accessible from Hradcany and Strahov or by a funicular railway from Ujezd. Up the hill there is the Stefanik Observatory, the 60m high Observation Tower – an imitation of the Eiffel Tower, the Hunger Wall that was built by the poor of the city in return for food in the 14th century, the Mirror Maze, the Church of St. Lawrence and the wooden Church of St. Michael that was built in 17th century in Ukraine and later dismantled and brought to Prague.
VYSEHRAD FORT
This was originally Chrasten Castle, which was established at some time in the 10th century, that also became a Premyslids mint and the first Czech King Vratislav even dwelled here for a while. Vysehrad’s importance was diminishing from the second half of the 12th century and most of the buildings were destroyed when the Hussites defeated Zikmund. It was finally rebuilt into a Baroque fort after 1650.
There are many historical buildings in the Vysehrad complex. For example, St. Peter and Pavel Capitular Cathedral, St. Martin Romanic Rotunda, cemetery with Slavin (special cemetery for famous artists, writers, painters, composers and other important people), casemates of the Baroque fort, foundations and remains of Romanic and Gothic buildings as well as constructions from recent times.
Vysehrad also offers extensive parks with sculptures, views over Prague and a summer amphitheatre. The Vysehrad Gallery exhibits paintings, sculptures and photography. This place is veiled with many very old legends.
WALKING TOUR OF THE JEWISH DISTRICT
approx. 3,5 hours | included: guide, entrances
The Jewish Museum in Prague was founded in 1906 with the aim of preserving precious art objects and documents related to the history of the Czech Jewish communities.
We can start our visit at the Pinkas Synagogue – it was turned into the Memorial of Jewish victims of the Second World War. Almost 80.000 names have been inscribed on the walls. It is an extremely simple but touching monument. A small room on the top floor houses a precious collection of drawings done by the children of the Terezin concentration camp.
Next to the Pinkas Synagogue there is the Old Jewish Cemetery where almost 12.000 tombstones are jumbled together among trees. The oldest gravestone is that of Rabi Avigdor Kara who died in 1439. Among the graves of the distinguished Jews, we can find the names of Marcus Mordecai Maisel (died in 1601), David Oppenheim (died in 1736) and the Rabi Loew, known as Maharal, whose writings became an inherent part of Hasidic teaching.
Flanking the exit from the cemetery there are the former Ceremonial Hall and the Klausen Synagogue. The former features display explains activities of the Burial Society Hevrah Kaddishah [founded in 1564], the latter, dating back to 1694, houses the permanent exhibition „Jewish Customs and Traditions“.
From the Klausen Synagogue we have an easy short walk to the Old-New Synagogue, which is architecturally the most interesting building of the ghetto and also one of the oldest preserved synagogues in Europe and it is still in use. Its main hall, one of the finest examples of the Cistercian Gothic style in Prague, is a double-aisled space with references to the figure 12, both in its plan and decorations.
We will pass by the High Synagogue which is closed to the public and the Jewish Town Hall founded by Maisel in the late 16th century with the Hebrew clock showing the time backwards.
Our next stop can be the Maisel Synagogue which was commissioned by one of the most influential figures of the ghetto – the mayor Marcus Mordecai Maisel who died in 1601. The exhibition covers the history of Jews in the Czech state since its very beginning up to the late 18th century, the time of emancipation.
We continue our walk to the Spanish Synagogue which was built in 1868 in a Moorish style on the site of demolished Altschul. The richly polychrome and gilded stucco arabesques and other oriental motifs together with an organ make this interior very different from all the other buildings run by the Jewish Museum. The second part of the exhibition „History of Jews in Bohemia and Moravia“ has been presented here.
Our guides are very well versed in Jewish history and will be happy to answer any of your questions. Jewish guides can be arranged on your request only.
PRAGUE CASTLE TOUR WITH A VEHICLE SUPPORT
approx. 3,5 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
The Prague Castle complex is another must. The tour will give you a feel of the whole hilly part of the city before you walk through the Castle complex. Your private guide will meet you at the hotel and you will be driven to the Strahov Monastery to enjoy one of the best views over the city.
You may also visit the Strahov Library – one of the most beautiful interiors in Prague. A private visit of the two stunning rooms can be arranged upon your request. A lot of historical movies have been shot here, e.g. the famous Milos Forman’s film “Amadeus”.
You continue to the New World area which used to be the home of artists and the small houses are really charming. After getting off the car at the Castle square, you can admire the Archbishop’s palace and the main entrance to the Castle complex. Then you continue on foot to see the St. Vitus Cathedral with its stain-glass windows, the Royal Palace with Vladislav Hall and the unforgettable and quaint Golden Lane.
The archaeological research and the oldest written sources prove that the Prague Castle was founded around the year 880 by Prince Borivoj of the house of Premyslides. The castle site was fortified with a moat and a rampart of clay and stones. The first walled building was the Church of Virgin Mary. Other churches, dedicated to St. George and St. Vitus, were founded in the first half of the 10th century.
From the 10th century Prague Castle has been not only the seat of the head of state, the princes, later kings and nowadays presidents, but also of the highest representative of church, the Prague bishop. The basilica of St. Vitus, built on the site of the original rotunda, has been the main church since the 11th century and the relics of the patron saints of the land are kept here. The period of the rule of King and later Emperor Charles IV (the middle of the 14th century) was a time of prosperity for Prague Castle. The royal palace was magnificently rebuilt, the fortifications strengthened and the church of St. Vitus was based on the model of French Gothic cathedrals.
Another important period was the second half of the 16th century, during the rule of Rudolph II. The emperor settled permanently in Prague Castle and began to turn it into a grand and dignified centre of the empire. He founded the northern wing of the palace, with today’s Spanish Hall, to house his precious artistic and scientific collections. The Prague defenestration in 1618 started a long period of wars, during which Prague Castle was damaged and robbed. In the second half of the 18th century the last great rebuilding of the Castle was carried out, making it a prestigious castle-type seat.
After the foundation of the independent Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, Prague Castle again became the seat of the head of state. It is an important cultural and historical monument. The crown jewels, precious Christian relics, art treasures and historical documents are kept here. Events important for the whole country have taken place within its walls.
Hence Prague Castle is the embodiment of the historical tradition of the Czech state, linking the present with the past.

Strahov library private tour
Strahov Monastery (this can be added to the Castle tour upon request)
approx. 30 minutes | included: guide, entrances
It was founded in 1140 on Strahov Hill and it is considered as one of the oldest monasteries. You enter the complex through the baroque gate with a statue of St. Norbert, the founder of the St. Norbert’s Order.
When you decide on a private tour of the monastery (highly recommended), you can explore the two very unique and beautiful library rooms in depth. Your guide can tell you many stories and show you the illustrations in some of the books. When you go with other regular tourists, you just peek into the rooms from the doorway. This Prague interior is really worth visiting and highly recommended, especially after its complete cleaning and renovation which was finished recently.
The two amazing rooms are:
the Theological Hall dating back to 17th century. It is decorated with a stucco ceiling with frescos dedicated to science, education and different proverbs. We admire the rich collection of more than 15 000 books, astronomical and geographical globes, precious old songbooks and unique pieces of furniture.
The 18th century Philosophical Hall occupies two floors and it is really a temple of sciences. The book cabinets – home to 50 000 books – were originally designed for a different monastery and since they represent great example of baroque woodcarving, they found their home here and the hall was built according to their size. The magnificent fresco called “Intellectual Progress of Mankind” is the icing on the cake of this private tour.
You will also see the Cabinet of Curiosities and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary where Mozart used to play the organ during his Prague visits. Stunning view of Prague panorama can be admired from the backyard of the Monastery.

Let us show you the beauty of our nature during this full day trip with your guide, transfers where needed and time for lunch. At the end of this day, you will for sure understand the life of the local Czech people much more than before. We will take you for a nature walk and will show you a castle from the old times.
Bohemian Paradise, known in Czech as Český ráj, is a region and a protected landscape area about 90 kilometres north-east of Prague. It belongs to the most popular local tourist destinations in the whole of the Czech republic. For centuries the Bohemian Paradise area has attracted painters, writers, artists, and dreamers of all kinds. Discover this unique combination of bizarre rock formations, deep pine forests, majestic castles and sublime villages of timber cottages, losing yourself for a moment in the labyrinth of Prachov Rocks. Thanks to the forces of nature you can admire lofty sandstone forms here, worn into weird and wonderful shapes, some of which are 60m tall. Some have been given strange names such as Taktovka (Baton), Kapelník (Choirmaster), Maják (Lighthouse) and Dračí zub (Dragon’s Tooth).
Kost castle
Kost Castle lies in a magical landscape of forests and sandstone rocks, which is rightly called Bohemian Paradise due to its charms. It stands on a low promontory over a set of fishponds whose dams were broken in times of danger, cleverly changing it into a moated castle. It allegedly got its name from the fact that its walls are as hard as bone (kost means “bone” in Czech) and not even the Hussite general Jan Žižka was able to capture the castle. During the tour, you will learn about the owners, the Kinský family, or get to know the medieval torture chamber. The executioner Herman or Count Octavian will be your guide on your trip through the mysteries of the castle.
Humprecht chateau
Humprecht has been looking down on Sobotka town and the surrounding landscape from a small hill for over 300 years now, recollecting its complicated history. Carlo Luragho was commissioned in 1666 to build this piece of architecture for Humprecht Jan Černín of Chudenice but just before it was finished the building had been struck by lightning and burnt down; it was completed in 1680. This building was designed as a hunting lodge for the Italian wife of Humprecht Jan Černín who had divorced him even before she had to enjoy the lodge. The hunting lodge started to delapidate, its crescent reminds us of oriental architecture.
Czech – Saxon Switzerland
approx. 10 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances

Pravcicka brana
One of the most popular nature trails to reach this formation is the Gabriel Trail. This leads from the settlement of Mezní Louka right up to the famous Pravčická brána. This monumental rock arch, which is the largest in the whole of Europe, is markedly reminiscent of a formation in the famous American park – the Arches. During the walk beautiful views will open out over the surrounding landscapes. There is a place for refreshment in the middle of this walk.
The inimitable atmosphere of romantic gorges
One of the gateways to this unique natural landscape is the city of Hřensko. From the parking lot several nature trails lead into the surrounding gorges. Some of them is intertwined with a labyrinth of rocks, tunnels and footbridges. Some stretches can only be travelled on small boats with a gondolier. The romance of the local gorges with their crystal clear water and high walls of sandstone rocks covered in moss and ferns will seem absolutely irresistible to you.
Bastei
Bastei and the Bastei Bridge are the highlights of the German Saxon Switzerland National Park area and from them you have a wonderful panoramic view over the mountains. You will see the river Elbe, the Lilienstein mountain and Koenigstein fortress just to name a few. Bastei Bridge is a 76,5 m man made bridge which connects the rock formations.
Konigstein
Impregnable Konigstein Fortress crowns the rock plateau of a table mountain, which takes up the size of 13 soccer grounds. Here, more than fifty buildings as well as extensive green spaces invite visitors to explore everyday life at the fortress.
Because of its unique location, Konigstein Fortress used to be a popular destination of the Saxon court for imposing festivities and ceremonies with high-ranking guests. The dungeons became known as the »Saxon Bastille«. Numerous prominent prisoners, such as the social democrat August Bebel and writer Frank Wedekind, were left languishing here.

KARLSTEJN CASTLE
approx. 5 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
This tour takes us to one of the most popular castles in the Czech Republic. But be warned that it is only for the fit people who love walking. It is at least a 20-minute-walk up the hill from the parking place and there are lots of steps inside the castle too!
The castle was built in the 14th century during the reign of Charles IV.
Charles IV had this castle built as a treasury for the holy relicts, Imperial Coronation Jewels and later on also Czech Coronation Jewels. Unlike many other castles which were built mostly for strategic and military reasons, Karlstejn was built as a private residence of Charles IV – a place for his contemplation and meditation. Its main tower, especially the Chapel of the Holy Rood was a real wonder in its times. Richly decorated with semi-precious stones, gold plating and marvellous pictures representing „the holy army of saints”, it is the greatest example of gothic art and architecture. The castle represents gothic fortification architecture inspired by German and French medieval castles. Divided into three parts, it forms an almost impregnable fortress. The interiors of the castle commemorate the period of Charles IV but the exterior is more impressive than the interior with the exception of the Chapel of the Holy Rood which is a separate tour that has to be booked well in advance.
There are two guided tours that can be visited at Karlstejn Castle. The first tour takes us through the historical interiors of the Imperial Palace, visiting the Vassal’s Hall, the bedroom of Charles IV, the audience hall, the hall of ancestors connected with banquet hall and finally the Marian Tower with the treasury. You can admire the copy of the Czech Royal Crown dedicated to St. Wenceslas in the treasury. This tour gives you an overview of the history of the castle and tells you about its importance.
The second tour is more aimed at the private life of Charles IV. It starts in the Church of our Lady, adorned by beautiful gothic frescoes, continues to its sacristy and Chapel of St. Catherine. The most fascinating frescoes of the Church of Our Lady depict the Apocalypse – the prophecy of St. John, the final battle between good and evil. We continue climbing many steps to the Great Tower with the Chapel of the Holy Rood – the world largest of its kind. The Chapel is really breath-taking. During the times of Charles IV there was nothing in western Christianity to rival its beauty. Gothic ceiling and walls of the Chapel are covered by semi-precious stones and gilded stucco creating the illusion of the sky. Entirely unique is the original decoration of wall paintings dating back to the 14th century. It is the collection of 129 panel paintings by Master Theodorik, the largest portrait gallery of Czech rulers in the country. This tour must be booked well in advance and is available only during a short time of year.
dresden
approx. 5 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
The picturesque town of Dresden, the capital of Saxony, is located in the east part of Germany close to Czech border. The splendid baroque residence and capital of Royal Saxony includes countless architecture highlights within a short walking distance of the city centre.
During the walk of the old city we will take you through the area to see the Dresden Castle, an 800-year-old palace complex boasting one of the best Renaissance architectures that Germany possesses, the Dresden Cathedral and the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. You will walk around the magnificent baroque buildings that are represented by the Semper Opera House and the Zwinger Palace. You will be told the amazing story / history of the Lutheran Church of Our Lady (so called Frauenkirche) that was bombed during the WWII. The stones were preserved and later assembled back together into the fascinating church. Time allowing you can visit the Green Vault museum with its amazing collections. Have a look at the famous mural painting of the Procession of Princes, which shows former Saxon rulers painted on porcelain “china” tiles to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Wettin Dynasty.
Dresden can be visited either as a daytrip from Prague with roundtrip transfers and time for lunch and some shopping on your own OR during the scenic drive from Prague to Berlin as it is on a great place for a stop in the middle of the drive and of course time for lunch.
KARLOVY VARY
approx. 9-10 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
The wonderful spa town of Karlovy Vary is situated in Western Bohemia in a romantic valley of the Tepla River.
It is famous worldwide for its spa facilities and 12 hot mineral springs. According to a legend its mineral streams were discovered by accident, during a hunting trip by Charles IV in 14th century. Charles IV really loved this town and it is only correct that it bears his name – Karlovy Vary /Charles’ hot waters/. Karlovy Vary was rebuilt many times over the course of centuries. We can still admire houses designed in 19th and early 20th centuries. Fellner and Hellmer – two Viennese architects designed the finest architecture pieces.
Karlovy Vary has played host to an endless list of celebrities including Goethe, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, List, Tchaikovsky etc. Everybody who was “somebody” had to visit Karlovy Vary / known as Karlsbad in German. After a period of decline during communist times, the town has been restored back to its beauty and it is once again welcoming the visitors from all over the world.
KONOPISTE CHATEAU
approx. 5 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
It is a castle from your romantic dreams. It was built originally as a medieval fortress guarding one of the main business roads. It was completely rebuilt by Archduke Franz Ferdinand d’Este as his family residence in 19th century. It has one of the richest interiors with a vast number of the historical collections of any kind. It is situated 40 kilometres from Prague and it is one of the most visited castles in the country.
If you are interested in history and want to know something about the Habsburg period of the Czech Kingdom, you should visit the Konopiste Castle. Its history starts in 18th century when bishop Tobias of Bechyne ordered to build it as a fortress. During centuries it was rebuilt many times. Archduke Franz Ferdinand d’Este, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, bought this castle in 1887 and had it remodelled into his private residence. He decided to buy the castle far away from the Viennese Imperial court because of the court’s harsh disapproval with his Czech wife countess Sophia Chotek. She was not considered “noble enough” for Franz Ferdinand, since he was the heir to the Austrian throne and she was “only” a countess.
We will visit richly decorated interiors admiring antique furniture, pictures, statues, tapestries, and porcelain collections, one of the most valuable weapon collections in the world and, of course, hunting trophies. Ferdinand was a passionate hunter; he killed more than 300 000 animals during his life. Only a very small portion of them are displayed as hunting trophies here. One of the castle tours is dedicated to Franz Ferdinand and his family only. You can almost feel that the family has just left for a walk. We will visit Ferdinand’s private rooms, rooms of his wife Sophia Chotek and their children.
You might have seen this castle in the movie The Illusionist with Edward Norton and Jessica Biel.
TEREZIN
approx. 6 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
Terezin is also known as “Theresienstadt”. It is a defensive complex founded in 1780 by Joseph II, the son of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa and named after her.
It is the terrible history of the town – first under the Habsburgs and then under the Nazis – that made this place so notorious. It was described by its survivors as the waiting room to hell – full of music and art, full of hope and yet… All our guides are extremely well-trained in the comprehensive history of the tragic events.
Upon our arrival we will pass the National Cemetery located in front of the Small Fortress. This part used to be one of the most important military and political prisons in the Habsburg Empire. Many rebels and leaders of the nationalist-liberation struggles were jailed here. The well-known are the assassins of Franz Fredinand d`Este in 1914 in Sarajevo.
The Gestapo used this place since June 1940 and 32 thousand inmates saw the chilling and ironic words „ARBEIT MACHT FREI“ – these are still written above the entrance.
A ghetto, the holding camp for Jews, was founded in the Big Fortress in November 1941. Only for the propaganda reasons, the Nazis permitted a relatively flourishing cultural life in the ghetto. Firstly, we go to see the Museum, where paintings drawn by the children are displayed. Over four thousand of them have been preserved! Afterwards, we will watch the very interesting “propaganda” movie filmed in Terezin to the order of the NAZI leader Goebles in 1941. The picture presented by Nazis is in a sharp contrast to the reality of the camp where each fifth inmate died and from which about 87 thousand prisoners were deported to Auschwitz, Treblinka and Majdanek concentration camps.
The other part of the exhibition shows how the permanently crowded camp functioned. You will learn about the work of medical staff, teachers and administration clerks. Next, we will drive through the town, passing among barracks close to the railroad tracks. In the end of our tour, we will see the Jewish cemetery and Crematorium.
KUTNA HORA AND SEDLEC ossuary
approx. 6 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
KUTNA HORA
The old silver mining town called Kutna Hora. It originated as a small mining community in the second half of 13th century. When rich deposits of silver were discovered, king Vaclav II took over and Kutna Hora became the second most important town after Prague in the Czech Kingdom. The name Kutna Hora comes from a German expression “khutten bergh” which means “mining mountain”. For centuries the power and wealth of Czech kings was based on Kutna Hora and its silver. Florentine bank experts, invited by Vaclav II., carried out a coin reform. Silver coins under the name “Prague Groschen“ began to be minted here. They were so successful, that they were circulated all over Europe. The wealth generated by the town’s silver ore also resulted in many construction activities which can be admired till today. Miners were rich enough to build their own cathedral dedicated to St. Barbara – their patron saint. This cathedral is listed by the UNESCO as of special cultural significance. In the late 14th century a superb palace, Italian Court, was constructed with reception halls, private residential rooms of the king, mint workshops and the Chapel of St. Wenceslas. Walking through the town, your guide will explain and show you many other sights.
SEDLEC
In the district of Sedlec located on the outskirts of Kutna Hora, we can find another cathedral built by the Cistercian order. Next to the cathedral, there is a Chapel of All Saints with more than 40.000 human bones assembled in huge bells, macabre chandeliers, ostensories and coats of arms. It sounds very strange but it is really very interesting and worth seeing.
CESKY KRUMLOV
approx. 10 hours | included: guide, vehicle support, entrances
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and you will drive you on a motor way south of Prague until you reach the edge of South Bohemia. From there you will continue on local roads and through small villages till you reach the fairy tale town of Cesky Krumlov.
This unique town is almost entirely preserved since the renaissance period. It was once the capital of the entire Southern Bohemia region and the stronghold of the local noble family – Lord of Roses. You will walk the narrow historical streets adorned by many renaissance houses, the Old Town Hall situated on Market Square, a magnificence gothic church of St. Vitus where we can see the tombs of the last members of the Lords of Roses’ family, other baroque churches and picturesque squares.
Depending on timing and interest, you can visit the interiors of the Cesky Krumlov Castle which is situated on a high rock guarding the Vltava River. It used to be a residence of the Lords of Roses for centuries – the Eggenbergs and the Schwarzenbergs. Today it houses rich collections of furniture, pictures, china and historical artefacts. At least a walk through the outside courtyards of the castle is a must as you have a great view of the whole town from there. The castle gardens are also worth visiting and so is the unique baroque theatre.
The Cesky Krumlov theatre was closed to the public from 1966 to 1997, and after the completion of a large part of the restoration it can be visited now but opening times and number of people is very limited and needs to be booked far in advance.
During the ride back to Prague if time permits you can visit the Hluboka castle (Tudor style castle) or possibly the beer town of Ceske Budejovice – the home of the real Budweiser beer.
In the early evening you will end up in your hotel with great memories from this day out of the sometimes busy Prague.

Water was supplied into the fountain by means of the oldest Brno water-conduit from the river Svratka.
The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul
It is one of the dominating features of the city of Brno. A Norman church was originally on this site; in the 14th century, it was re-built in the Gothic style. Right from its inception, it was an important church within the city. The cathedral had 21 altars at the end of the 15th century. The overall reconstruction was finished by the Vienna architect August Kirstein in the year 1909, when the cathedral received two towers, and other civil adjustments were implemented.

The Renaissance beauty of the town testifies to its heyday under Zacharias´ rule. There is no modern building spoiling the historical centre of the town. It looks like the backcloths of a stage setting for some Renaissance feast. The Telc castle is one of the nicest surprises in the country, it is simple yet very nice and it has fascinating interior with magnificent coffered ceilings.

Olomouc
The statutory city of Olomouc, today the seat of the region of the same name, has long been the regional centre of Central and Northern Moravia. It lies on the banks of the Morava River and is the centre of the ethnic region of Hanakia, a traditional agricultural and food-producing area. The Olomouc coat of arms is almost identical with the coat of arms of Moravia and has been used by Olomouc since the late 13th century.
Olomouc is a sleeper. Practically unknown outside the Czech Republic and underappreciated at home, the city is surprisingly majestic. The main square is among the country’s nicest, surrounded by historic buildings and blessed with a UNESCO-protected trinity column. The evocative central streets are dotted with beautiful churches, testament to the city’s long history as a bastion of the Catholic church. Explore the foundations of ancient Olomouc Castle at the must-see Archdiocesan Museum, then head for one of the city’s many pubs or microbreweries, fuelled by thousands of students who attend university here
Kromeriz
Kromeriz has always been associated with the fertile Hana landscape and the power of the Olomouc bishops. Whenever you come there, you will be surrounded by a unique atmosphere. Before your eyes, there are treasures of world art and architecture, cultural and natural monuments and unique collections. Kromeriz was first mentioned in 1107. The development of the town was significantly influenced by the Olomouc bishops and archbishops. The Kromeriz Château was their summer residence, and the construction activities of the bishops, especially after the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century, brought about a major restoration. Thanks to this Kromeriz ranks among today’s prominent historic cities in the Czech Republic. The centre of Kromeriz was declared an Urban Monuments Preservation Area in 1978. The complex formed by the Archbishop’s Château, the Flower Garden and the Château Garden was declared a National Cultural Monument in 1995 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998.
Brno
Brno is the capital city of the South-Moravia region. Brno is also the city with the highest number of universities. There are currently 6 universities with 27 faculties there.
Take a walk through the historical downtown of the city to visit the main sights – the Spilberk castle, The cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, Villa Tugendhat (from outside only, for interior visit the tour must be booked at least 6 months in advance), the labyrinth under the Vegetable market, the ossuary and others.
Spilberk Castle
Spilberk Castle dominates the city skyline. It gained international notoriety as a feared prison. Luckily, the prison cells situated in underground casemates are a mere tourist attraction today. The castle has been housing the offices of the Brno City Museum since 1960.
Labyrinth under Vegetable Market
In the Labyrinth under Vegetable Market you can enjoy the unique and mysterious atmosphere of the maze of medieval corridors and cellars. Moreover, the tour does not lack the element of surprise, for example you can see a real medieval pillory.
Parnas Fountain
In the Middle Ages, stalls had already begun to be put up around the Parnas Fountain. It was built between 1690 and 1695 according to the design of Vienna architect Jan Bernard Fischer from Erlach. The fountain symbolizes a cave among natural rocks. Three allegorical figures represent three old empires – Babylon, Persia and Greece. Water was supplied into the fountain by means of the oldest Brno water-conduit from the river Svratka.
The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul
It is one of the dominating features of the city of Brno. A Norman church was originally on this site; in the 14th century, it was re-built in the Gothic style. Right from its inception, it was an important church within the city. The cathedral had 21 altars at the end of the 15th century. The overall reconstruction was finished by the Vienna architect August Kirstein in the year 1909, when the cathedral received two towers, and other civil adjustments were implemented. Among the decorations inside the Church, you cannot overlook the statue of Madonna and child which dates from around the 1300´s, a late Gothic pieta, Baroque altars and a rostrum.

DRESDEN – PRAGUE
Your private guide and driver will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Dresden and will take you for a scenic drive to Prague. During the drive you will make a stop in the Terezin concentration camp. Later in the afternoon you will continue to your hotel in Prague.
Terezin
Terezin is also known as “Theresienstadt”. It is a defensive complex founded in 1780 by Joseph II, the son of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa and named after her. It is the terrible history of the town – first under the Habsburgs and then under the Nazis – that made this place so notorious. It was described by its survivors as the waiting room to hell – full of music and art, full of hope and yet…
All our guides are extremely well-trained in the comprehensive history of the tragic events.
Upon our arrival we will pass the National Cemetery located in front of the Small Fortress. This part used to be one of the most important military and political prisons in the Habsburg Empire. Many rebels and leaders of the nationalist-liberation struggles were jailed here. The well-known are the assassins of Franz Fredinand d`Este in 1914 in Sarajevo.
The Gestapo used this place since June 1940 and 32 thousand inmates saw the chilling and ironic words „ARBEIT MACHT FREI“ – these are still written above the entrance.
A ghetto, the holding camp for Jews, was founded in the Big Fortress in November 1941. Only for the propaganda reasons, the Nazis permitted a relatively flourishing cultural life in the ghetto. Firstly, we go to see the Museum, where paintings drawn by the children are displayed. Over four thousands of them have been preserved! Afterwards, we will watch the very interesting “propaganda” movie filmed in Terezin to the order of the NAZI leader Goebles in 1941. The picture presented by Nazis is in a sharp contrast to the reality of the camp where each fifth inmate died and from which about 87 thousand prisoners were deported to Auschwitz, Treblinka and Majdanek concentration camps.
The other part of the exhibition shows how the permanently crowded camp functioned. You will learn about the work of medical staff, teachers and administration clerks. Next, we will drive through the town, passing among barracks close to the railroad tracks. In the end of our tour, we will see the Jewish cemetery and Crematorium.

Pilsner Brewery
Visitor Centre
The tour begins with the newly reconstructed historic building of the former “cooling stokes” from 1868. A dominant feature of the hall is the model of the brewery from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Packaging plant
The brewery tour also includes a tour of the new packaging plant, which with a capacity of 120,000 bottles an hour is one of the most modern ones in Europe. You will be taken there by a special brewery bus. For production process reasons it is not possible to influence the operation of packaging lines. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the packaging lines will be fully functioning at the time of the group’s visit to the packaging hall.
New Pilsner Urquell exhibition
You will be brought to the new exhibition by the largest personal lift in the Czech Republic. After watching the film on the secrets of Pilsner Urquell beer production in the revolving panoramic cinema you’ll be able to learn more about the unique raw materials in the sensory exhibition.
Brewhouses
During the tour you’ll have the chance to see brewhouses from three different centuries. You’ll visit the historic brewhouse from the beginning of the 20th century and then see the holy of holies of Pilsner Urquell beer – the modern brewhouse from 2004. The process used to brew real Pilsner beer isn’t used in any other large brewery in Europe.
Hall of Fame
The exhibition located in the brewhouse from the 19th century is devoted to the history of the brewery and memorable milestones from the time of its origin and expansion.
Cellars
In the brewery cellars beer is still produced today following the traditional method – fermentation in open wood kegs and maturation in oak laying-down barrels. We offer the unfiltered and non-pasteurised beer produced by this method for tasting (in accordance with the Act on Protection against Alcoholism and other Addictions No. 37/1989 Coll., we do not serve alcohol to juveniles under the age of 18)
Karlstejn castle
This tour takes us to one of the most popular castles in the Czech Republic. But be warned that it is only for the fit people who love walking. It is at least a 20-minute-walk up the hill from the parking place and there are lots of steps inside the castle too!
The castle was built in the 14th century during the reign of Charles IV.
Charles IV had this castle built as a treasury for the holy relicts, Imperial Coronation Jewels and later on also Czech Coronation Jewels. Unlike many other castles which were built mostly for strategic and military reasons, Karlstejn was built as a private residence of Charles IV – a place for his contemplation and meditation. Its main tower, especially the Chapel of the Holy Rood was a real wonder in its times. Richly decorated with semi-precious stones, gold plating and marvellous pictures representing „the holy army of saints”, it is the greatest example of gothic art and architecture.
The castle represents gothic fortification architecture inspired by German and French medieval castles. Divided into three parts, it forms an almost impregnable fortress. The interiors of the castle commemorate the period of Charles IV but the exterior is more impressive than the interior with the exception of the Chapel of the Holy Rood which is a separate tour that has to be booked well in advance.
There are two guided tours that can be visited at Karlstejn Castle. The first tour takes us through the historical interiors of the Imperial Palace, visiting the Vassal’s Hall, the bedroom of Charles IV, the audience hall, the hall of ancestors connected with banquet hall and finally the Marian Tower with the treasury. You can admire the copy of the Czech Royal Crown dedicated to St. Wenceslas in the treasury. This tour gives you an overview of the history of the castle and tells you about its importance.
The second tour is more aimed at the private life of Charles IV. It starts in the Church of our Lady, adorned by beautiful gothic frescoes, continues to its sacristy and Chapel of St. Catherine. The most fascinating frescoes of the Church of Our Lady depict the Apocalypse – the prophecy of St. John, the final battle between good and evil.
We continue climbing many steps to the Great Tower with the Chapel of the Holy Rood – the world largest of its kind. The Chapel is really breath-taking. During the times of Charles IV there was nothing in western Christianity to rival its beauty. Gothic ceiling and walls of the Chapel are covered by semi-precious stones and gilded stucco creating the illusion of the sky. Entirely unique is the original decoration of wall paintings dating back to the 14th century. It is the collection of 129 panel paintings by Master Theodorik, the largest portrait gallery of Czech rulers in the country. This tour must be booked well in advance and is available only during a short time of year.
Karlovy Vary
The wonderful spa town of Karlovy Vary is situated in Western Bohemia in a romantic valley of the Tepla River.
It is famous worldwide for its spa facilities and 12 hot mineral springs. According to a legend its mineral streams were discovered by accident, during a hunting trip by Charles IV in 14th century. Charles IV really loved this town and it is only correct that it bears his name – Karlovy Vary /Charles’ hot waters/. Karlovy Vary was rebuilt many times over the course of centuries. We can still admire houses designed in 19th and early 20th centuries. Fellner and Hellmer – two Viennese architects designed the finest architecture pieces.
Karlovy Vary has played host to an endless list of celebrities including Goethe, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, List, Tchaikovsky etc. Everybody who was “somebody” had to visit Karlovy Vary / known as Karlsbaad in German. After a period of decline during communist times, the town has been restored back to its beauty and it is once again welcoming the visitors from all over the world.

The interiors of the castle commemorate the period of Charles IV but the exterior is more impressive than the interior with the exception of the Chapel of the Holy Rood which is a separate tour that has to be booked well in advance.
There are two guided tours that can be visited at Karlstejn Castle. The first tour takes us through the historical interiors of the Imperial Palace, visiting the Vassal’s Hall, the bedroom of Charles IV, the audience hall, the hall of ancestors connected with banquet hall and finally the Marian Tower with the treasury. You can admire the copy of the Czech Royal Crown dedicated to St. Wenceslas in the treasury. This tour gives you an overview of the history of the castle and tells you about its importance.
The second tour is more aimed at the private life of Charles IV. It starts in the Church of our Lady, adorned by beautiful gothic frescoes, continues to its sacristy and Chapel of St. Catherine. The most fascinating frescoes of the Church of Our Lady depict the Apocalypse – the prophecy of St. John, the final battle between good and evil.
We continue climbing many steps to the Great Tower with the Chapel of the Holy Rood – the world largest of its kind. The Chapel is really breath-taking. During the times of Charles IV there was nothing in western Christianity to rival its beauty. Gothic ceiling and walls of the Chapel are covered by semi-precious stones and gilded stucco creating the illusion of the sky. Entirely unique is the original decoration of wall paintings dating back to the 14th century. It is the collection of 129 panel paintings by Master Theodorik, the largest portrait gallery of Czech rulers in the country. This tour must be booked well in advance and is available only during a short time of year.
Karlovy Vary
The wonderful spa town of Karlovy Vary is situated in Western Bohemia in a romantic valley of the Tepla River.
It is famous worldwide for its spa facilities and 12 hot mineral springs. According to a legend its mineral streams were discovered by accident, during a hunting trip by Charles IV in 14th century. Charles IV really loved this town and it is only correct that it bears his name – Karlovy Vary /Charles’ hot waters/. Karlovy Vary was rebuilt many times over the course of centuries. We can still admire houses designed in 19th and early 20th centuries. Fellner and Hellmer – two Viennese architects designed the finest architecture pieces.
Karlovy Vary has played host to an endless list of celebrities including Goethe, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, List, Tchaikovsky etc. Everybody who was “somebody” had to visit Karlovy Vary / known as Karlsbad in German. After a period of decline during communist times, the town has been restored back to its beauty and it is once again welcoming the visitors from all over the world.

Cesky Krumlov
This unique town is almost entirely preserved since the renaissance period. It was once the capital of the entire Southern Bohemia region and the stronghold of the local noble family – Lord of Roses. You will walk the narrow historical streets adorned by many renaissance houses, the Old Town Hall situated on Market Square, a magnificence gothic church of St. Vitus where we can see the tombs of the last members of the Lords of Roses’ family, other baroque churches and picturesque squares.
Depending on timing and interest, you can visit the interiors of the Cesky Krumlov Castle which is situated on a high rock guarding the Vltava River. It used to be a residence of the Lords of Roses for centuries – the Eggenbergs and the Schwarzenbergs. Today it houses rich collections of furniture, pictures, china and historical artefacts. At least a walk through the outside courtyards of the castle is a must as you have a great view of the whole town from there. The castle gardens are also worth visiting and so is the unique baroque theatre.
The Cesky Krumlov theatre was closed to the public from 1966 to 1997, and after the completion of a large part of the restoration it can be visited now but opening times and number of people is very limited and needs to be booked far in advance.
During the ride back to Prague if time permits you can visit the Hluboka castle (Tudor style castle) or possibly the beer town of Ceske Budejovice – the home of the real Budweiser beer.
In the early evening you will end up in your hotel with great memories from this day out of the sometimes busy Prague.
