FREE DAY
For the free day we recommend a trip to the Prague Castle (on foot) – the seat of President of the Czech Republic (do not miss changing of Castle guards at 12 o’clock), a walk through the Golden Lane, the original place of residence of alchemists serving to the Emperor Rudolph II. and a visit to the impressive St. Vitus Cathedral, the spiritual seat of the Czech catholic congregation, a masterwork by Petr Parler, one of the top artistic and architectonic works of the Gothic period in Central Europe. Take the Kings roud from the Prague’s Castle, cross the Charles bridge and see the architectonical curiosities in the Old Town square or trip to the Prague ZOO (by our bus). Also a visit to the Jewish quater and the picturesque Old Town, so loved by Franz Kafka is possible.
