Ghosts & Legends of Old Town
Join this 90-minute ghost and legends tour in Old Town and take a walk through Prague’s dark past....
1 / 10Combine Prague's most iconic landmarks with a scenic Vltava River cruise in one comprehensive 3-hour tour. Start in UNESCO-listed Old Town Square, glide past riverside palaces on a 'Prague Venice' boat with refreshments, then explore Charles Bridge's Baroque statues, Kampa Island, and finish at Prague Castle with views of St. Vitus Cathedral.
The tour begins on the Old Town Square, a UNESCO-listed world heritage site, from where you will explore the Old Town with its narrow cobblestone streets, wonderful architecture, and enchanting history. You can then take a casual stroll through the Clementinum complex – formerly a Jesuit college and Prague's second largest building complex (after Prague Castle) - which is home to Baroque churches, the Mirror Chapel, and a branch of the National Library.
From there you will board a ‘Prague Venice’ boat for a relaxing cruise along the river. Whilst listening to the commentary and taking in the magnificent views, you will be served drinks and refreshments. After disembarking, a wonderful finishing touch to this leg of the tour is a visit to the Charles Bridge Museum.
Your guide will then take you across the bridge at a leisurely pace so that you can take in the scenery and multitude of Baroque statues along the way. You will cross Kampa Island and pass the colourful Lennon Wall on your journey through the Lesser Town, an area many consider to be the most beautiful part of Prague. Surrounded by Baroque and Renaissance architecture, you will then board a tram to the Prague Castle (please note that the tram ticket is not included in the price of the tour).
St. Vitus Cathedral, which towers over the castle complex, is not the only point of interest on the final leg of the tour. The tour concludes with a stroll through the vineyard, which has the most majestic views of the grand city of Prague.
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Early morning departures (before 10 AM) help you experience landmarks with less tourist congestion, especially Charles Bridge.
