Day 1: Our adventure begins high above the town of Prague at a specialty restaurant & microbrewery, inside one of the town's oldest Monasteries with a hearty Bohemian-style lunch. This hearty meal will invigorate and refresh you for our walking tour of Prague and the Castle with our local guide beginning after lunch. The Castle of Prague, only steps away from our lunch location, is the largest preserved fortress from the middle ages in all of Europe. From atop the Castle Hill you will be able to admire the incredible panoramic view of 500 church spires and the Vltava (Moldau) River that winds through the city like a silver Christmas ribbon. From here we descend into town, over the famous Charles bridge towards Old Town Square. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore the city at your own pace. Perhaps pick up some last-minute gifts and some extra holiday cheer at one of the Christmas Markets before we continue to check in to our 4-star hotel, after which, the evening is yours to enjoy at your own leisure.
Day 2: After breakfast at our hotel, We recommend visiting all the famous Christmas Markets in the center of Prague, lighting up the city in a rich, festive glow, creating a charming winter wonderland. Browse through the many stalls filled with handmade bohemian crafts, seasonal decorations, crystal decor items, and culinary delights. Make sure to ask your guide about the possibility of a relaxing scenic river cruise during the evening that will provide you with a chance to relax and take in the beautiful views of the city from a completely different vantage point.
Day 3: After breakfast and hotel checkout, we travel to Karlovy Vary, one of Europe’s premier wellness destinations. Here you are free to explore, shop, and see the many architectural gems found throughout the city. There are 13 main hot springs throughout the city, all draining into the cold waters of the Tepla river creating huge jets of water and steam, and giving the city a romantic, misty ambiance. A December day in Karlovy Vary would not be complete without a stroll through the Christmas Market set up in Smetana Park, right at the end of our walking tour. We invite you to indulge in Karlovy Vary’s finest culinary delights, browse through an assortment of decorated stalls filled with handmade bohemian style decorations of wood & Crystal before we begin our journey home.
