Old Town Square
The most significant square of historical Prague. It originated in the 12th century. The square has several dominant features, the baroque St. Nicholas Church (K. I. Dienzenhofer, 1732–1737), the rococo Kinský Palace housing the National Gallery exhibition hall, the Stone Bell House – a gothic city palace from the 14th century – now the Municipal Gallery concert and exhibition halls, and the Memorial to Master Jan Hus sculptured by Ladislav Saloun (1915). The very place where the 27 Czech noblemen were executed on 21 June, 1621, is marked in the square pavement.
Charles Bridge
The oldest Prague bridge built in place of Judita’s Bridge that had been badly damaged by a flood in 1342. The Stone or Prague Bridge renamed Charles Bridge in 1870, was founded by Charles IV in 1357. According to the latest research the construction was started by Master Otto and finished by Peter Parler in 1402. Both ends of the bridge are fortified by towers (Lesser Town Bridge Tower, Old Town Bridge Tower). From 1683 to 1928 thirty sculptures and sculptural groups of the saints were gradually set on the bridge piers (M. Braun, F. M. Brokof, etc.). The bridge is 515 meters long and 10 meters wide.
Prague Castle
A national cultural monument, the symbol of more than 4 millennia of development of the Czech state. Since its foundation in the last quarter of the 9th century it has been developing uninterruptedly throughout the past eleven centuries. It is a monumental complex of ecclesiastical, fortification, residential and office buildings representing all architectural styles and periods, surrounded by three castle courtyards, and covering 45 hectares. Originally it was the residence of the princes and kings of Bohemia. Since 1918 it has been the seat of the president.

Discover the story of Pilsner Urquell, the world's first golden lager that revolutionized the beer industry 180 years ago! In The Original Tour, we will transport you back in time through immersive audioguide, video mapping, light shows and projection to explain how the first pilsner beer was created.
You will taste our golden beer while meeting our first brewmaster, and with your senses already stimulated, you will experience the brewing processes – our ingredients, the hot brewhouse, or chilly cellars! We will explain to you the importance of foam in each of the perfect Czech beer pours, and before leaving the storytelling floor, a lot of fun will be waiting for you in our 360° game hall!
The tour continues in our iconic Beer Hall upstairs, where you can taste two more beers served by our friendly tapsters or participate in one of our shows! And if you visit our brand shop, you can take home a personalized hand-engraved beer mug or a bottled Pilsner Urquell with your name on it.
Tapster Academy
LEARN ALL THREE TYPICAL CZECH POURS! BECOME A TAPSTER
Did you know why we only pour our beer into a wet glass? At what temperature does our beer taste best? What is the difference between dry and wet foam? Why do we never pour our beer from a height? How do you tell if you've got a clean glass in the pub? And how do you actually pour the typical three Czech pours – hladinka, šnyt and mlíko?
After completing our exclusive Tapster Academy, you'll never look at beer the same way again. And to top it all off, you'll receive a certificate of completion and a special gift – because you've earned it!

St. Barbara's Cathedral
St. Barbara´s Cathedral, a gem of Perpendicular Gothic and one of the four cathedral-type structures in Central Bohemia, is, together with the Cathedral of the Assumption of our Lady and St. John the Baptist and the historical center of Kutná Hora, on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The beauty of this structure has been the proof of the glory and the wealth of silver Kutná Hora and of the deep religiousness of its creators. The Cathedral is dedicated to virgin Barbara, early Christian martyr who is worshipped as a Holy Helper, intercessor for good death and the patron of all who have dangerous occupation, especially of the miners. It is the miners who contributed the most to the bloom of the medieval town and the building of the cathedral dedicated to their saint protector.
Sedlec Ossuary
The ossuary is an underground chapel of All Saints Cemetery and originally was a part of the Cistercian abbey in Sedlec, which was founded in 1142 by Miroslav of Markvartic. The church was built in the 14th century as a carnery. It consists of two chapels being built one on top of the other and according to the most recent surveys, this was built alongside other outside buildings that made up the entire abbey, as they tried to draw closer to its Jerusalem inspired design.
