Walking through an open-air museum with the guides of I Love Praag Dobrý den I am Huig den Boer owner of I love Praag. I am a young Dutch man in my thirties who previously worked in the healthcare sector and worked with great passion as a bus driver in and around the beautiful city of Utrecht, the most beautiful city in the Netherlands. In addition to this job, I worked as one of the permanent guides of I Love Praag in Prague and first did tours as a hobby (15 years) and now professionally in the Czech city of Prague. This is because I am in love with this European capital. Since 2023 I live completely in Prague. No matter how beautiful a city like Rome or Berlin is, I don't immediately catch a spark like when I leave Prague airport. All our guides speak fluent English, German and Dutch. Are you going on tour with me or with my colleagues in Prague?

Tour description

* Don't forget to check out and book our other tours in the "Old Town & jewish quarter" and the "New Town" of Prague. *

The city of Prague has the largest castle complex in the world. It consists of several palaces, churches, gardens and many other special buildings. Prague Castle has a rich history and you will get to know it during this tour.

We start the tour at the Strahov Monastery and from there we visit all the special buildings in the castle, such as St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George's Basilica, the famous golden lane and of course the Lobkowicz Palace.

Of course we also reflect on the events during the 30 years war in Prague.

At 12:00 PM we will of course also see the big changing of the guards. In the summer we also visit one of the well-known special palace gardens.

And because we are in the highest parts of the city of Prague, a special viewpoint cannot be missed.

Will you delve with us into the history of the largest castle complex in the world?
