Free Prague Tours

If you are visiting Prague on a budget this doesn't mean you can't do any tours. There is a company called Free Prague Tours which is run by English Speaking licensed guides who are also history buffs.

They depend on tips at the end of the tour so if you do have any money spare please do contribute a small amount. This is a way of showing your appreciation and will help to keep this project going.

The tours run 7 days a week rain or shine and no booking is necessary. You can just turn up. The starting point is in the Old Town Square on the corner of Parizska Street.

The tours run twice a day at 10.30 am and 2.00pm. There is also a magic flashlight tour each night at 8.00pm. This one however is not free and costs 200 CZK. It is worth doing though at this good price and involves ghost stories, murders, fact and fiction, sorcery and eccentric humour.

The free tours are also very good. You can choose between the Right Bank Free Tour which includes Old Town Square, New Town, Jewish Ghetto and everything to the right of the Vltava River. The Left Benk Free Tour is a story of everything to the left of the river including Mala Strana, Prague Castle and Hradcany.

So before you spend too much money booking excursions check out these free ones first and you might just learn all you need to know about Prague.

About Prague

Prague is fantastic choice for a city break and has become more and more popular over recent years with couples looking for a romantic getaway, and also groups of singles searching for a lively holiday.

The buildings are spectacular and there are some fabulous sights to see including Prague Castle and the famous Charles Bridge. The nightlife has something for everyone and the restaurants are very good quality and exceptional value for money.

Many people choose to visit Prague in the winter when the city looks beautiful covered in a blanket of snow. However Prague is a lovely city to visit at any time of the year and summer is perfect to do the sight seeing tours especially the ones which feature a boat trip as part of the tour.

Getting Around

Prague is a city full of history and culture and there are a number of museums and churches to visit. We would highly recommend a visit to Prague Castle and of course the famous Charles Bridge which dates back to the 13th century.

The bridge is always busy with tourists and Czechs alike. You must also visit the renowned Astronomical Tower in the square in the Old Town. Other sites of interest are Wencelas Square and the Old Jewish Quarter.

You can get around most of Prague on foot and an organised walking tour is a good way to learn about the history and find your way around.

There are also 3 hour tours organised which include an hour by bus, an hour on a boat and an hour on foot. We would recommend this tour in the Summer when the weather is warm.
