You will start the tour around Prague from the very top of the city, on one of the most important hills in the capital and the whole country. Prague Castle is a unique place where the legislative and executive powers of the Czech Republic are practiced. Though it is a very strategic place, it is open for visitors during the day.

The first officials who meet you at Hrad are the guards. I have seen several changes and traditional military procedures in various countries and can say that one is worth seeing at least once, not more.

There are many things to tell about this atmospheric and spiritually reach the place. First of all the Bridge survived after several extremely huge floods.

Additionally, the tour stretches to New Town and Wenceslas Square.

River Tour Prague
Vlatava is a unique river. It seems to be calm and slow at first sight, but if you get closer to it, especially near the little dams spread near the Charles Bridge and the Dancing House, you realize how strong the stream is. Therefore it’s twice more interesting to take a riverboat tour along with the well-known Old Town, Mala Strama, and Prague Hrad. We would recommend booking an evening 3-hour trip with dinner included. The city’s lights turn Prague into a fairy tale place with a fantastic atmosphere of calm. On each ship, there are two decks: the lower is for having dinner the upper is an open one, where the tourists can breathe fresh air and enjoy the views, take photos in front of the main visible sights. In order guests don’t fall asleep after long Prague tours, the whole during the evening the boat trip on the Vltava a band plays either popular or Czech traditional music. So everyone is sure to enjoy the river tour in Prague.
Singing fountains Prague
Another option to spend an evening in Prague is to enjoy a singing fountain’s performance. This is a fantastic show, interesting either for kids or grown-ups. Streams of water rise and fall, jump and hide in the dark. The light is well combined with the music. The latter, by the way, can be classical or popular; it depends on the day and time of the performance. So basically, singing fountains are more about sitting and viewing. Thus it’s an excellent way to rest after long sightseeing tours around Prague. Our company will book the best places for you and your friends and organize a transfer to the show and back to your hotel.

Every evening in the very heart of Prague, not far from the Old Town Square, something extraordinary happens.
