From €429 per person in a double room

Overview

Prague is one of the Central European capitals that came through the Second World War largely undamaged, so Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings stand side by side on the same street. Spread across both banks of the Vltava, the city is on an ideal scale for exploring on foot.

Guided tours starting at Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral and continuing through the Baroque lanes of Malá Strana to Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock on Old Town Square are included, together with a walk through the Jewish Quarter. You stay in a 4★ hotel near the metro with breakfast.

The fourth day is free; if you wish, join an optional day trip to fairy-tale Český Krumlov on a bend of the Vltava, the spa town of Karlovy Vary or Vienna. On December dates the city takes on a special atmosphere with its winter markets and lights.

We recommend applying at least 6–8 weeks before departure; current requirements are confirmed before travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which day trips can I join?

We offer three optional choices for the fourth day: Český Krumlov, Karlovy Vary and Vienna. We recommend adding one when you book to secure a place; trips run with a minimum of 15 participants.

What is New Year like on the 29 December departure?

You are in Prague on the evening of 31 December, which is free. The area around Old Town Square gets very crowded that night, while the winter market usually stays open until early January.

Can I pay in euros in Prague?

Although some tourist businesses accept euros, the local currency is the Czech koruna and exchange rates offered are usually poor. Card payments are widespread, so a small amount of koruna is enough for minor purchases.
