4. We will get to the impressive square where we will see all of the biggest and most prominent palaces - the Salm, the Schwarzenberg, the Tuscany, or the Archbishop palace. The square is also the gateway to the Prague Castle, so we will talk about its strategic position above the city and its importance as it continues to be the seat of the Czech president. Moreover, we will take a moment to admire the scenic view of the city before we continue to the Castle itself.

5. Passing through the courtyards, we will see some of the oldest remains of the very first settlement of the Castle and explain how it evolved to the current version with the help of some of the most famous kings and emperors.

   5 min

6. We must admire the monumental cathedral dedicated to Saint Vitus - the biggest dominant of the castle and thus of the whole city. We will explain its importance to the Czech people, talk about the two phases of construction and how you can distinguish them, and enjoy its beautiful artwork and decorations.

7. The Old Royal Palace contains the most important hall of the Castle, the Vladislav hall, the place where the crown jewels are put on display once a year. Moreover, a peculiar historical event took place in the Palace and infamously started one of the bloodiest wars in European history.

   10 min

8. Finally, we will be able to enjoy the cute and famous Golden Lane with the tiny houses in bright colours. Depending on the weather, some of the houses might be open, in which case there may be a chance to have a look inside and even buy some souvenirs, such as a book by Franz Kafka written in the very same house.

About Praga

Praga ergue as suas torres sobre o Moldava, com castelo no alto da colina, ponte ladeada de estátuas e um centro medieval quase intacto.

O Castelo de Praga, um dos maiores complexos castelares do mundo, coroa a colina de Hradčany, com a Catedral de São Vito no centro e as minúsculas casas da Rua do Ouro escondidas atrás. Mais abaixo, os palácios barrocos e os jardins em socalcos de Malá Strana descem até à Ponte Carlos, ladeada de estátuas de santos e movimentada desde o amanhecer.

Top-ranked sights in Praga: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
