Prague Tour for Kids with Prague Castle

Burnished by centuries, the picturesque streets of Prague have a magical, cinematic quality. Let your family take a starring role as you discover the city's unique story and make its historical center your playground on this 2.5-hour Prague for kids tour. Winding our way from the Castle down into the heart of Prague, we’ll look at the city in a new light, using engaging stories to help its history come alive for the young and young-at-heart.

Starting on the grounds of the Prague Castle, the world’s largest castle complex, we’ll cross stone courtyards and explore the nooks and crannies of this sprawling area. Depending on the day, we may make our way to the Plecnik Staircase—a “whispering staircase” with pitch-perfect acoustic—or to Golden Lane, a Romanesque street soaked in stories of science and myth, where, according to legend, alchemists once sought to turn metal into gold. Although the vastness of the complex would take hours to cover, we’ll certainly take time to marvel at the decorative details and colorful mosaics that adorn the exterior of monumental St. Vitus’ Cathedral.

As we exit the castle grounds, we’ll be confronted with a bird’s eye view of the Lesser Town clustered on the opposite river bank. Armed with our blossoming knowledge of old-world Prague, we’ll stroll down the hill through the Lesser Town (also the subject of our Introductory Prague Walking Tour), observing the many varieties of cobblestone patterns and spying the distinctive house signs hanging above the doorways. Along the way, we’ll stop to learn more about the unique history of this sloping area. When we suddenly emerge from the side streets and arrive at the Charles Bridge, where we will end the day's exploration. 

Please note: entry fees to some areas of the Prague Castle complex are not included, including the St. Vitus' Cathedral interior and Golden Lane.
