Prague Thru the Lens - Castle Walk

This tour offers participants an authentic city adventure and rare opportunity to experience Prague from an insider’s point of view.

Prague is one of the most magical places in Europe, famed for its stunning architecture and cobblestone lanes. It offers a magic that is seldom found in Europe and with our photographers we will show you a Prague that best captures her beauty and spirit.

Your professional photographic guide will point out details invisible to the untrained eye and reveal the best vantage-points on your chosen route. Learn to tell a story through images, take great shots of iconic monuments and capture atmospheric images off the beaten track.

Be ready for the unexpected, on an Adventure thru the Lens.

We begin our journey from the meeting point at Pohorelec tram stop near the Hotel Savoy (easily accessible via tram 22, 23) and journey towards Strahov Monastery. Strahov is one of the oldest surviving and still functioning monasteries in Europe offering beautiful architectural details as well as garden spaces. Our trip then continues along the scenic Petrin Hill Gardens where various vantage points offering stunning vistas of Prague’s Mala Strana as well as Hradcany will be pointed out. From this point we will then head off the beaten track along one of the smallest stairs you will ever see towards Loreta, a beautiful cloister that surpasses many others in Europe.

After stopping off in Loreta, we then travel to one of the gems of Prague, the picturesque houses of Novy Svet (or New World). Here we can see homes that have architectural details that are not commonly found as well as traverse the empty medieval streets that few tourists know about.
From atop the hill we will then wind our way towards Hradcany and then downwards to Mala Strana. Our vantage point here offers another unique view of the rooftops of Prague looking down towards the river.

From here our journey goes towards the river along one of Prague’s most architecturally stunning streets: Thunovska as well as Zamecke schody - which lie under the castle. Along this route the photographer will show various ways to capture the magic and beauty of these famed cobblestone streets and if time allows we will enter the stunning Vrtovska gardens that offer a delight in photographing opportunities. Our tour will then end at the other side of Charles Bridge, Novotneho Lavka where stunning views of both Charles Bridge as well as Hradcany Prague Castle (Hradcany) can be found.
