Tour SightSeeing Highlights
Charles Bridge
The Charles Bridge is on the top of every Prague visitor's must-see list, as this medieval stone arch bridge spans the Vltava river. Begun in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, it was completed in the early 1400s. A great time of day to visit it is at sunset when you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the fully lit Prague Castle against the evening sky.
Prague Castle
(view from the Charles Bridge)
Built in the 9th century, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world and is the official office of the President of the Czech Republic. The castle was a seat of power for the kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside.
Saint Vitus Cathedral
Located within Prague Castle, this Gothic cathedral is the spiritual symbol of the Czech state. Founded in 1344 on the site of the original Romanesque rotunda, it contains the tombs of many Bohemian Kings and Holy Roman Emperors.
Pilsner Urquell Brewery
Opened its doors in 1842 and is located in Plzeň, Czech Republic. It was the first brewery to produce pale lager (branded Pilsner Urquell) which became so popular that more than two-thirds of the beer produced in the world today is this style. Pilsner Urquell is the largest producer and exporter of beer in the Czech Republic.
The Rückl Crystal Factory
This family glassworks is renowned for top-quality cut crystal since 1846. The glass-melting tradition and time-tested glassmaking techniques have been handed down in this family from generation to generation for over three hundred years.
(In honour of Jagomir Jagr's first NHL championship in 1991, Ruckl commissioned this crystal replica Stanley Cup)
