Prague Castle location
- 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.
- 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.
Here are some nearby late-night cafes & bars:
- Lokál U Bílé Kuželky: It is a traditional Czech pub serving hearty local dishes and fresh Pilsner beer. Open until late, with a cozy and authentic atmosphere.
- Cafe Savoy: This elegant cafe-restaurant offers classic Czech and French cuisine. Perfect for a relaxed post-tour dinner or dessert and coffee.
- U Malířů: It is one of Prague’s oldest restaurants, tucked away in a quiet lane. Offer a historic setting with fine Czech and European cuisine.
- Bar No. 7 or Hemingway Bar (Old Town): If you're crossing back toward Old Town, these craft cocktail bars are top picks for an elevated end to your evening.

Exploring Prague by night? Here are a few things to keep in mind
Transport options
Trams and metros run late in Prague, usually until midnight or later. After hours, night trams and buses operate on key routes. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt are also easily available near the castle area and Old Town.
City hours
Prague stays lively well into the night, especially in Old Town, Mala Strana, and along the riverbanks. Most bars and cafes tend to close around midnight; some clubs and lounges stay open into the early hours.
Safety
Prague is one of the safest European cities to explore at night. But it's always best to stay in well-lit areas and avoid going to isolated alleys alone.

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.
