NOTE: interior castle rooms are not included in this guided tour; interior visits require a separate ticket and must be arranged independently.
Tips from local experts:
- The castle interior is not included on this tour; if you wish to visit interiors, plan to purchase tickets during your free time and join an official castle interior tour.
- Expect steps between courtyards; this part is not wheelchair accessible and can be strenuous for guests with limited mobility.

Lunch and free time in the Old Town (Vltava riverside & shopping)
Walk down from the castle toward the river, cross the bridge and have lunch at one of the medieval-style restaurants or another choice you prefer. After lunch enjoy free time to explore the Old Town, shop for local crafts, and take riverside photos. Meet back at the main car park at the agreed time to return to Prague.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer a particular restaurant, go there early—popular riverside spots can be busy at noon; otherwise the guide will suggest reliable options.
- Keep track of the meeting time and the main car park location (confirm with the guide) to ensure a timely return to the vehicle.
- For couples seeking a quieter spot, walk a few minutes along the Vltava riverbank away from the bridge for more private photo opportunities.
