Soumrak na Pražském hradě

A walk through Prague Castle at dusk with Prague with your eyes wide open.

Prague Castle has its "best" - it is the largest continuous castle complex in the world, it is included in the UNESCO heritage list. Its atmosphere can be enjoyed without the crowds of tourists and in a pleasant early evening atmosphere.

Ostroh Opyš above the Vltava River chose Přemyslovec prince Bořivoj as its residence. He thus became the first of the builders of the complex, which his followers enhanced, defended and conquered. Under the underappreciated King John of Luxembourg, the construction of the Cathedral of St. It welcomes buildings that were supposed to be completed in more than five centuries. Prague Castle reaches its imaginary peaks under Charles IV. and Rudolph II. who made it the center of their imperial power. However, the current form largely refers to the Habsburg monarch Maria Theresa. Although she did not rule from Prague, it was during her reign that the castle was significantly modified according to the design of the architect Nicolo Pacassi. On the walk, participants will learn about the monarchs and other people connected with the Castle, about the palaces, the cathedral and smaller architectural details. There will also be legends and rumours.
