Four centuries of Prague Castle, narrated at your own pace

You walk through St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica, and Golden Lane with an audio guide on your phone, choosing how long to spend in each building. The guide includes a castle map and floor plans for every stop. You'll need to buy your own Prague Castle ticket separately, bring earphones, and have internet access on the day of your visit.

The Experience

Tapping play on your phone, you move through St. Vitus Cathedral at whatever speed feels right — stopping to study the 96.6-meter south tower, lingering in the chapels, or moving on when you've heard enough. That's the whole point of this Prague Castle audio guide: you're not following a group or a clock, just the voice in your ear and your own curiosity about what you're standing in front of.

The audio guide walks you through four buildings that most visitors rush through or skip entirely. St. Vitus Cathedral comes first, then the Old Royal Palace with its Vladislav Hall and the rooms where Czech princes actually lived, then St. George's Basilica — one of the oldest churches in the country and the burial place of the Přemyslids — and finally the Golden Lane, those tiny Baroque houses wedged into the castle wall where people actually lived until the 1940s. Each stop has its own section, so you can spend twenty minutes or two hours in any of them. The audio guide gives you a map of the complex and a floor plan for each building, so you won't get lost between stops.

You'll need your own Prague Castle ticket to enter — that's not included here — but once you have it, the audio guide is yours to use on your phone in whatever language works for you. Login details arrive by email on the day you book, so check your inbox before you go. A working internet connection is essential, and bringing your own earphones makes the whole thing more comfortable, especially in the crowded cathedral. Fair warning: some sections might be temporarily closed for renovations, and the audio guide order can shift depending on what's accessible that day.

If you want the AR option, you can add that too — it layers extra detail onto what you're seeing through your phone camera. But the core experience is the same either way: you're learning the real history of these buildings without waiting for a guide to finish explaining something you already understand, and without paying extra for a group tour when you'd rather move at your own rhythm.
