Additional Information

A unique chance to discover Prague’s romantic Castle in a different light – all lit up, and without the big tourist crowds.

Starts at:

7PM: October 16th - April 30th

7.30PM: May 1st - October 15th

Not an art history lecture, not a traditional guided tour.

It is more of a stroll, a chance to absorb Prague’s Romantic atmosphere, to take great pictures, and to see “the city of 100 spires” all lit up.

We don’t visit inside Parliament or inside Saint Vitus. We walk the castle grounds from top to bottom.

Also includes a ride on Prague’s romantic 22 cable car.

The light keeps changing. And it varies according to the time of year.

This 1.5-hour tour explores Prague Castle, the largest fortress complex on the planet, at night.

A tour not to be missed - We were met on time at the starting point for our tour. Petra introduced herself and was immediately likeable and easy going, but professional too. Fortunately for us, my husband and I, were the only ones booked on the tour that evening. This made our tour even more pleasurable as we had Petra to ourselves and were able to ask any questions we had . Her knowledge and enthusiasm was clearly visable and very infectious. She made our tour very interesting and entertaining and pointed out things I am sure other guides would not have known. I would highly recommend the Night tour of the castle and I hope you have Petra as your guide as you certiianly will not be disappointed. Covid has had a massive impact on tourism and I am sure this tour would have been very busy under normal circumstances. The views of the city by night, from the castle, were stunning. Thank you for an evening not to be forgotten

Prague Castle by night - Petra was an amazing guide for our group. We are all history buffs and we received a lot of insight in the history and politics of The Czech Republic. Tour went longer than expected because we were having such a great conversation. Lots of fun.

A unforgettable experience in Prague - Wonderful tour! First of all, Petra, our tour guide, was exceptional. Her excitement to start the tour and her passion for Prague is visible at all times and it helps to enhance the whole experience. Please bear in mind you will not visit the Cathedral inside, but you will definitely have an even better experience enjoying the whole complex after peak hours, when all is dark, and the lights are down. The silence is enjoyable and it seems you will have a better relationship with each part of history of that magic place and you will learn details that matter that you would not know without a guide!

Great experince - This is a fantastic way to see the Castle without the crowds at night. Our tour guide, John, was amazing. He spoke excellent English, and was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He really gave us a lot of background information about the Castle and the history and politics of the Czech Republic. We cannot recommend this highly enough - actually it's a great thing to schedule for your first day in Prague to get to know the city.

1st trip to Prague - This was a great tour to kick off our 1st day in Prague. We only had 5 people in our group. It is beautiful at night and not crowded at all. Our tour guy was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour - Our guide was very informative about Prague as well as the castle. We took the tour our first day in Prague. She showed us how to use the trams and how to navigate the city. Would definitely recommend this tour. The castle was much quieter in the evening and very beautiful all lit up.

nice views at night - It was nice to see the castle at night, however there wasnt much to do but walk around it and talk about it. Previous reviews implied you can go inside and even see parts that are closed during the day which was the draw for us on this trip, so we avoided the day tour and totally missed out on this attraction. The guide was good, and personable, so that wasn't an issue. There was a cool place outside where you could hear some awesome sound effects, a place where folks practice speeches....very cool. It is beautiful at night, and meeting the tour guide initially, you could be looking for a guy in a pink vest - no lettering, so that was confusing to meet up. Cool trip tho.
