From statues and house signs to cathedrals, palaces, and the Golden Lane, audio stories connect what you see to the saints, emperors, and families who lived here.

Highlights
Charles Bridge — Prague’s iconic stone bridge over the Vltava; discover how its Gothic arches, statues, and river views turned a medieval crossing into the city’s most famous walkway.
St. John of Nepomuk Statue — the bridge’s best-known saint, thrown into the river for guarding a queen’s secret; learn why his five stars, plaques, and polished bronze made him a symbol of loyalty and luck.
St. Nicholas Church (Malá Strana) — a grand Baroque parish church dominating the Lesser Town square; listen to how its huge dome, frescoes, and Mozart connection made it a showpiece of Prague’s Baroque age.
Wallenstein Palace & Gardens — an early Baroque palace tucked below the castle; discover how an ambitious general, peacocks, fountains, and a strange grotto wall turned a power residence into a surprisingly peaceful escape.
Nerudova Street — a steep cobbled lane climbing toward the castle; learn how carved house signs, Jan Neruda’s stories, and embassy façades keep this everyday street packed with tales and tiny details.
Prague Castle Entrance — the ceremonial gate into one of the world’s largest castle complexes; hear how battling giants, castle guards, and the changing-of-the-guard ritual frame your first steps into centuries of power.
St. Vitus Cathedral — Prague’s towering Gothic cathedral at the heart of the castle; discover how royal tombs, stained glass, and the giant Zikmund bell tie together saints, kings, and national legends.
Old Royal Palace and Vladislav Hall — the former seat of Bohemian kings with a vast late-Gothic hall; listen to how jousts, coronations, and dramatic defenestrations here helped shape Czech and European history.
Golden Lane — a narrow row of colorful cottages tucked against the castle wall; learn how guards, goldsmiths, alchemists, and even Franz Kafka turned this tiny alley into one of Prague Castle’s most storied corners.
St. George’s Basilica — a simple Romanesque church with twin towers and a red façade; discover how royal burials, an atmospheric crypt, and concert acoustics keep this ancient space very much alive.
Lobkowicz Palace — the only privately owned palace inside Prague Castle; hear how a noble family’s art, music manuscripts, and terrace views connect Beethoven, politics, and one of Prague’s best panoramas.
All this, plus additional "hidden gems," expertly brought to life through our virtual guides....with rich, vivid history, local stories, and unmatched knowledge you will not find elsewhere. Even better, no tipping required!
