Bohemian Castles from Prague – 7 Days

Introduction

Settle into Prague and uncover a thousand years of stories without the hassle of repacking. This curated journey connects the country’s most emblematic strongholds—Prague Castle, Karlštejn, Konopiště, Hluboká, Loket and the UNESCO jewel Český Krumlov—through comfortable day trips that start and end at your central hotel. Along the way, you’ll trace royal coronations and imperial intrigues, see Renaissance and Baroque grandeur next to neo-Gothic romance, and wander cobbled towns that feel lifted from a storybook. Our approach favors smooth logistics and unhurried discovery: smart departure times to beat crowds, pre-booked entries (timed slots where available), and a flexible rhythm with plenty of moments for coffee, photos, and scenic viewpoints. You’ll travel by private minivan with a professional driver and licensed guides who link architecture with the people who shaped it—from Charles IV to Archduke Franz Ferdinand. With all six nights in Prague, evenings are easy: stroll to dinner, enjoy a concert, or simply watch the city lights on the Vltava.
