Today, consider taking a private or small group tour of Prague. As you look out over Prague you will understand its nickname “city of 1,000 spires.” The skyline contains 1,100 years of history, filled with domed churches and old towers. A blend of architectural styles decorates the entire city, from its narrow Gothic lanes to its Baroque palaces, Renaissance bridges, and Art Nouveau cafes. On the opposite side of the Vltava River, you can see Prague Castle casting a dramatic image overlooking the cityscape.

Explore more of Prague! We do recommend exploring Prague Castle along with Golden Street, or perhaps heading underground to check out an old Soviet nuclear bunker. You could include a trip out to Kutna Hora, to the chapel decorated with the bones of up to 40,000 people, or drive to the town of Plzen to visit the Pilsner Urquell Brewery and underground cellars and passageways under the city.
