    • This experience is not wheelchair accessible
    • Travelers with mobility issues may find some sections, like the New World Street or Golden Lane, challenging due to narrow paths and inclines.
    sturdy walking shoes
    • Wear sturdy walking shoes as the tour covers a long route including cobblestone streets and pathways.
    • Nights can be chilly in Prague even during summer, so dress in layers and carry a light jacket for comfort.
    • There are no food or drink stops during the tour, so it's best to carry water and light snacks.
    • Use restrooms in advance as public toilets are limited along the route, and there are no designated bathroom breaks.
    • Keep your phone charged. You’ll want it for photos, navigation after the tour, or contacting your guide if needed.
    • Some historical districts in Prague are residential. Keep your voice low and avoid loud music when walking through quiet zones, especially in areas like New World Street and near monasteries.

    The tour was done at a nice pace. Our young guide was very knowledgeable, obviously very proud of his country and city. He never rushed anyone, even finishing later than stated. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and would highly recommend it.

    An unforgettable visit to Prague Castle! Allow at least half a day to explore everything. Access is valid for 2 days, but the tour can be split. Come as early as possible to avoid the crowds, especially at weekends. The Golden Alley is incredible, with its superb collection of armor and weapons.
