Itinerary
Day 1
Private round-trip transfer from Vienna with a guided walking tour in Prague covering Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, followed by 2 hours free time for lunch and independent exploration.
Pickup & Transfer — Vienna to Prague (private, air-conditioned)
Pickup from your Vienna hotel or accommodation; private, air-conditioned vehicle for the drive to Prague. Travel includes a short comfort stop as needed.
Tips from local experts:
- Provide your Vienna hotel name and full pickup address at booking so the driver can meet you on time.
- Bring your ID (national ID card or passport) and anything you need for the day; cross-border travel is within the Schengen area but you should carry identification.
- Pack a light jacket and comfortable shoes in a day bag — vehicle has climate control but Prague walking areas are cobblestoned.
Prague Castle (Hradčany) — guided visit and panorama
Guided exploration of the Prague Castle complex and viewpoints across the Vltava River; the guide will introduce the main buildings and the panorama over Prague.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes — pathways and viewpoints around the castle are uneven and partly cobbled.
- Meet your guide at the main approach to Prague Castle; the guide will indicate a clear meeting point and expected pace for the group.
- There are short uphill and downhill sections; plan brief photo stops at the castle terrace for skyline views of the city and river.
Walk / transfer to Charles Bridge
Short guided walk from the Castle area down toward the Vltava River to reach Charles Bridge, passing through Malá Strana (Lesser Town) streets.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect narrow, historic streets; keep belongings secure and be mindful of tram lines when crossing main roads.
- This short walk includes steps and slight slopes; bring water if the weather is warm.
- Allow time to pause for photos — the walking transfer is part of the guided experience and will move at a relaxed pace.
Charles Bridge (Karlův most) — guided visit
Guided time on Charles Bridge to view the statues, river vistas, and the approach to the Old Town.
Tips from local experts:
- Charles Bridge is popular and can be crowded; for couple photos, pause near the bridge midpoint or the tower for less congested views.
- Watch for street artists and musicians; keep small valuables secure and use a front-facing bag in busy sections.
- If you prefer fewer crowds, ask your guide about quieter points on the bridge or nearby riverbank viewpoints.
Transfer to Old Town Square
Guided walk from Charles Bridge across to Prague Old Town Square through historic streets, arriving at the square for the guided segment.
Tips from local experts:
- Follow the guide’s route through the Lesser Town and via narrow lanes to reach Old Town; some streets are pedestrian-only.
- This short transfer includes cobbles and some stair cuttings — take your time and hold handrails where provided.
- If you plan to shop during the walk, keep purchases light; larger bags can be stored in the vehicle during the city segment if arranged beforehand.
Old Town Square — guided visit (Astronomical Clock, church, memorials)
Guided visit of Old Town Square covering the Astronomical Clock, Gothic churches and historic monuments; your guide will describe the square’s history and key sights.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at the square a few minutes early for good viewing of the Astronomical Clock’s hourly show; standing room fills quickly.
- Choose a terrace café on a side street rather than the busiest part of the square for a quieter lunch later during your free time.
- Be mindful of tram lines and pedestrian-only zones when moving from the square to nearby streets.
Free time — lunch and independent exploration (2 hours)
Two hours of free time to have lunch, sample Bohemian specialties or to explore the narrow streets of Prague Old Town on your own.
Tips from local experts:
- Use this time to try Bohemian dishes or café seating around the Old Town; many restaurants list menus in English but check for service style.
- Carry a small amount of Czech koruna (CZK) for smaller cafés or market stalls; most restaurants accept cards but smaller vendors may prefer cash.
- If you want a quieter river view, head down toward the Vltava embankment; for intimate terraces, choose side streets off the main square.
Return Transfer — Prague to Vienna (private, air-conditioned)
Private transfer back to Vienna. Vehicle departs Prague at the scheduled time to return to your Vienna hotel or accommodation.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready at the agreed pickup point in Prague 5–10 minutes before the scheduled departure to ensure an on-time return to Vienna.
- Store any purchases securely in the vehicle; luggage or larger bags can be loaded into the vehicle before departure.
- If you have mobility concerns, inform the operator in advance so the pickup point can be chosen with minimal walking.
