Arrival at the ''golden city'' and meeting with our local guide, boarding the bus and our tour begins with the ''Small part'' (Mala Strana) one of the oldest historic districts in Prague. Then we will admire externally the imposing baroque church of Ag. Nikolaou, we will walk from the picturesque Gothic bridge of Charles through the medieval streets of the ''Royal Road'' to the square of the old town, with the Town Hall and the famous astronomical clock and the ''apostolic parade'' as well as the square of the historic center of Prague.

The alley consists of small colorful houses, which were re-painted with bright colors in the 1950s. Many of the houses are now souvenir shops and there is a museum of a medieval arsenal within the former fortification of the 14th century. The number 22 belonged to the sister of the writer Frans Kafka, who used this house to write his writings for about two years. Then we will have free time for a walk in the city.

In the 14th century it was named "Royal City" by emperor Charles in the 4th century and since then it has been established as a meeting place for personalities of letters, arts and politics. Crossing the main pedestrian street next to the Tepla River we understand why Goethe, Schiller, Beethoven, Bach, the Tsar of Russia, etc. walked the same road. Free time. Departure for Prague.

It is a cultural gem with its particularly well-preserved Gothic and Renaissance buildings, churches and narrow streets. The walls of Krumlov enclose treasures of particular architectural and cultural value such as the ''hidden bridge''. Visit the castle of the city and admire from above the panoramic view. Then after a beautiful route we will reach the beautiful capital of Austria, Vienna. Our city welcomes us dressed in Christmas and we will visit the Christmas markets.
