To see the openwork domes and high spires of churches, the intricate stonework of palaces and castles, the emerald green of parks and gardens, you need to go on a bus tour to Prague. Every participant of such a tour will be able to immerse themselves in the mysterious atmosphere of Prague Castle with its labyrinth of narrow streets and ancient buildings.
A historical relic of the Czech Republic – Prague Castle – was founded in the 9th century as the residence of Czech kings. Reminders of those ancient times are the Basilica of St. George, built in 920, and the Strahov Monastery, founded in 1140.
Near Prague Castle stands the majestic Lobkowicz Palace – a magnificent example of Renaissance architecture. The fairy-tale atmosphere of Prague's historical center is complemented by the Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn.
The main goal of a bus tour to Prague is to get acquainted with the numerous attractions of this unique city, where at various times lived and worked Mozart, Goethe, Beethoven, Einstein and many other figures of science, literature and art. Prague is distinguished by a surprisingly harmonious combination of different architectural styles belonging to different historical eras. Gothic cathedrals coexist with palaces built in the Baroque style (one of them is the Troja Castle of the 17th century). Near the main church of the ancient Strahov Monastery of the 12th century stands the building of the monastery library, built in the Classicist style. At the end of Golden Lane, which appeared in the 16th century, is the late Gothic defensive tower Daliborka. A vivid example of the late Renaissance is the Nelahozeves Castle of the 17th century, located 20 km from the city.
But Golden Prague is famous not only for its historical and architectural monuments. Many participants of bus tours to Prague are interested in glass and crystal products, which have gained popularity all over the world. Tourists will be able to visit the 'Rückl' factory and purchase unique souvenirs to remember. And, of course, many will enjoy getting acquainted with Czech cuisine and the famous Czech beer. A visit to one of the oldest breweries in Prague is part of the tour's excursion program. Also planned are excursions to museums, art galleries and parks of the Czech capital.
Fairy-tale Prague will leave no one indifferent – it can conquer anyone with its beauty and grandeur.
