A private tour of the Old Town
To ensure you get to see and experience the city in the utmost of style, book yourself onto a private guided tour of Prague’s historic Old Town. Doing so will allow you to set your own schedule to avoid the crowds and enjoy personalised attention and insight from your experienced and knowledgeable guide, who will know the city inside out. Taking you on a magical exploration through its cobbled streets to see some of the city’s most captivating sights, you’ll have a chance to visit the Old Town Square, the Church of Our Lady before Tyn and the Astronomical Clock, as well as a host of other hidden gems you might miss out on if navigating the city alone.
Shopping on Pařížská Street
If you’re in the mood for hitting the shops whilst in Prague then head to Pařížská Street, the city’s most exclusive shopping boulevard. This tree-lined avenue is home to a plethora of designer boutiques by world-renowned brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Cartier, and offers picturesque views of the Vltava River whilst you make your way along the street.
An absolute highlight of any trip to Prague is the spectacular Prague Castle, dating back to the 9th century. Image credit: photo.ua/Bigstock.com
Prague Castle
Prague Castle is nothing short of magical, and is one of the biggest sources of that famous fairytale charm we mentioned earlier. Before the tourist crowds arrive, arrive with your private guide to explore this impressive complex – which includes St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, and the charming Golden Lane – with their expert insight bringing its storied history to life along the way.
Lobkowicz Palace Museum
If you’re an art lover, a private tour of the Lobkowicz Palace Museum, home to one of Europe’s finest private art collections, is another must.
