Things to do in Prague, Bohemia: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

November 26, 2021 Almeta Stockton

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

The meeting spot in Prague and Munich was easy to find. The van was very comfortable and very clean. Peter was a great tour guide and shared lots of info about the area and culture. We would definitely travel with Sidetrip again - a great alternative to bus or train.

Step back into time with a trip to the beautifully preserved medieval town of Kutna Hora.Visit gothic landmarks including the cathedral of St. Barbara and the Bone Chapel, once a mint and royal residence. Kutna Hora is a World Heritage site. After a one hour drive east of Prague you will arrive at the immensley architecturally rich town of Kutna Hora, which was built in the Middle Ages in the midst of an extensive silver ore field. It became over the course of time because of the production of money which symbolizes the force and wealth of Czech kings and the kingdom. While walking through the historical centre of the town you quickly realize why it was recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site. The interior of the Cathedral of St. Barbara (patroness of the miners) undoubtedly ranks among the best examples of late Gothic architecture in Bohemia. You will visit the church, the Old Mint and the Sedlec Ossuary - the Bone Chapel.

Inclusions: Admission to Cathedral of St. Barbara and Sedlec Ossuary - the Bone Chapel, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Hotel pick up and drop off

I had an amazing time with my guide Sofia, she has very good english skills and LOT of knowledge about the city. Although we were not able to take the cruise because of covid I'm very happy with the tour, I had a great time and learned a lot about the city. 100% recommended.

We came to Prague for 4 days and wanted to visit Karlovy Vary, so because of very good reviews here, we decided to book a Day trip to Karlovy Vary with this company. The driver greeted us with a smile on his face and he was very kind and gave us great sightseeing tips, and made our tour great, we had the best day here. The vehicle was modern, clean and comfortable with plenty of space. I can definitely recommend this company!

This was such a great experience! Bonita, our excellent guide, gave us a Zoom walking tour in which she interwove history with architecture and sites which make Prague so unique and worth visiting. Originally from New York, Bonita talks non stop for an hour as she walks from the famous Old Town square through the nearby streets. Even if you've been there before, you will learn new information and see buildings and typography which will thrill you. At the end, you'll want to book tickets to see Prague for yourself, but in the meantime, I recommend seeing some of it through Bonita's eyes. Her husband is her camera man, and he did a great job weaving through the cobblestone streets and coming close up to windows so we could see inside. They do other tours also. Try Insight Cities yourself.

Prague's Old Town has architecture is as old as the city itself. Founded in the early 1200's much of the gothic work is still being used. The lack of bombing during WWII helped that preservation. With that age comes a complex history of a city on the border between the East and the West. On this tour, you will discover a people that wanted religious reform before Martin Luther, the location of perhaps the most historically significant execution in Europe and one of the more unique clocks in the world. Learn of the love for art that is still a large part of the culture. If you love beautiful scenery and interesting stories this tour is for you!

Inclusions: This is a live-streamed virtual tour with a guide walking the streets at the time of your booking.

Exclusions: Gratuities and tips.

Even we were only 2 people for the group tour, the activity was not cancelled. Alex was our guide, he taught us how to use the Segways and gave us time to practice and get comfortable with them. Then we started the tour and it was really good. Sadly we couldn´t go inside the center of the city but still the tour was fun and interesting. Alex was very kind and enthusiastic, it was a real pleasure to have him as guide. Segtways are super fun.
