Royal Garden
In the first part of our Prague Castle tour, we’ll walk through the peaceful Royal Garden, once the emperor’s private leisure time place. I’ll show you why people mysteriously bow to a fountain, reveal the world’s second ugliest building (yes, really!), uncover what sports were played here during the Renaissance, and even tell you the name of Emperor Rudolf’s pet lion.
Queen Anne's Summer PalacePass-by Only
We’ll admire the elegant Queen Anne’s Summer Palace, a Renaissance gem built for love. I’ll reveal who came up with the palace’s unusual roof, and why it has five different names. At the Singing Fountain, you’ll find out why people bow to it, and what makes it unique.
Ball Game Hall in the Royal GardenPass-by Only
At the Ball Game Hall, I’ll tell you what sports people played during the Renaissance, explain how sgraffito art is made, and point out a subtle trace of a Communist-era renovation.
