Tour Description
Your day of adventure in Prague begins in the Castle district, surrounded by centuries of history, architecture, and beautiful gardens. You will visit Prague Castle a UNESCO World Heritage site, which was founded in 880 for Bohemian Kings, and is still used today as the official seat of the Czech Republic president. You will learn about Prague’s intriguing history as you explore the Castle complex labyrinthine area, which is considered to be the largest ancient castle in the world. 

Next, you will make your way downhill through Lesser Town, one of the older neighborhoods of the city, and discuss key squares and the ornately decorated churches. Then, enjoying a local lunch, we will refuel and recharge over a discussion of Prague’s thousand-year-old history. 

Crossing Charles Bridge, the gothic masterpiece, you will then arrive in the narrow winding streets of the enchanting Old Town. Here in the lively cobblestoned hub, you will explore the main sites of political, historical, and artistic importance. 

You will finish your tour in Prague’s Jewish Quarter, learning the history of Prague’s Jewish community over the centuries. Depending on the day and interests of the group, you may visit a historical venue such as the Old New Synagogue or the Holocaust Memorial in the Pinkas Synagogue. 

By the end of this wonderful day filled with the best of what Prague has to offer, you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of this vibrant capital. You will have learned about Prague’s ascent as a cultural capital of Europe, its uniquely preserved architecture, and its emergence as a modern-day creative and intellectual hub.

Spent almost seven hours with Lenka touring Prague and I was either learning something or laughing the whole time. Highly recommend Lenka especially if you want someone with a lot of personality! Great job Context!
Robert was an excellent guide for our first trip to Prague — informative, engaging, knowledgeable and thoroughly enjoyable to be with.
Jiri provided a first day in Prague that exceeded our expectations. Can't imagine a better way to be introduced to Prague.
