Prague Private Tour: Old Town, Castle and Cesky Krumlov
Prague is the one central European capital where the historic core is small enough to walk — which frees the car for the trips out to the castles and the south Bohemian towns.
Charter or private tour
Charter: car and driver between cities and sights. Private tour: adds a guide for the castle and the Jewish quarter, where context matters.
Drive times
- Prague Airport to the old town: about 30 minutes.
- Prague to Cesky Krumlov: about 2 hours 30 minutes.
- Prague to Kutna Hora (bone church, silver mines): about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Vienna to Prague: about 4 hours by road.
Two days in the city
Day one: Old Town Square, the astronomical clock, Charles Bridge at dawn, the river bank. Day two: Prague Castle, St Vitus, the Golden Lane, then the Jewish quarter or Vysehrad for the quieter view.
Day trips worth the drive
Cesky Krumlov: the castle and the river bend, best with an overnight. Kutna Hora: the bone church and the silver mine, a solid half day.
Season
May, June and September are best. December for the Christmas markets. January and February are cold but quiet and cheap.
