Prague: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour with Cruise and Lunch
Start your journey by glimpsing the vibrant contrasts between Prague's New Town and Old Town. View key landmarks like the Municipal House, the State Opera Theatre, and the National Museum perched on Wenceslas Square, the city's largest plaza. Admire Charles Square and its Town Hall before encountering the iconic Dancing House, a testament to postmodern architecture designed by Frank Gehry in 1996, situated along the right bank of the Vltava River. Your guide will then escort you across the river to the Castle Town, where breathtaking views of Prague's historic center await. The walking tour begins in the Castle Town District, now also known as the diplomatic quarter, where you can admire aristocratic palaces such as the Schwarzenberg Palace and the Archbishopric, dating back to the 16th century. Continue to Prague Castle, the official residence of the Czech president. Here, take time to photograph the majestic Saint Vitus Cathedral and the Castle Guard. Enjoy panoramic views from the castle ramparts. A traditional local pub will serve lunch, where you'll have the opportunity to sample renowned Czech beer (note: drinks are not included in the tour price). In the afternoon, the tour progresses to the square housing the Old Astronomical Clock, Tyn Church, and the Jan Hus Monument. Explore the elegant and historic Josefov district, once a Jewish ghetto, now a fashionable area featuring the Parizska avenue. Make photostops at significant sites like the Alt Neu Schul, Europe's oldest synagogue, the Ceremonial Hall, and the Old Jewish Cemetery. Conclude your day with a relaxing one-hour cruise on the Vltava River. As the tour winds down, your guide will distribute individual tickets for the boat, where you can choose your seat freely. The tour ends back at the pier, centrally located near where your day began.
