Starting Point: A Convenient Meet-Up in Malá Strana

We appreciate that the tour begins right at the Malostranská metro station, a central and accessible spot in Prague’s charming Malá Strana district. The guide, identifiable by a yellow umbrella, makes it easy to find the group, saving you from the hassle of wandering around. Starting here, you’re immediately immersed in Prague’s historic atmosphere, with the castle looming just a short walk away.

Walking into the Castle Complex

The tour kicks off with a walk through the first castle courtyard, passing the impressive Matthias Gate. It’s a good moment to get your bearings and soak in the medieval architecture. Walking through the courtyard, you’ll notice the Kohl Fountain and get a sense of the castle’s grandeur.

Crossing into the second courtyard, the real magic begins. Here, you’ll see the Golden Lane, a colorful strip of tiny houses that looks straight out of a fairy tale. This area, often crowded with travelers, is particularly charming. You’ll learn that Kafka lived in one of these houses between 1916 and 1917, adding literary intrigue to your visit.

Inside St. Vitus Cathedral

One of the most striking parts of the tour is the interior visit to St. Vitus Cathedral. The guide will narrate stories about this Gothic marvel, which took centuries to complete and is the spiritual heart of Czech royalty. You’ll see its stunning stained glass windows, intricate tombs, and soaring vaults. Many travelers comment on how the guide’s explanations bring the cathedral to life, making the awe-inspiring space even more meaningful.
