Mobile-Guided Tour of Charles Bridge & Tower with Optional VR Experience
Explore Prague's most famous bridge and historic tower at your own pace with this flexible mobile-guided tour. You'll collect your tickets at Maiselova 59/5 and follow an engaging audio guide across the legendary Charles Bridge before climbing the Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower for panoramic views over the city.
The tour takes you along the ancient Royal Route that once carried Bohemian kings through the heart of Prague. Your mobile guide reveals stories behind the bridge's baroque statues, explains its 14th-century construction, and highlights the tower's role in defending the Old Town. From the top of the 138-step climb, you'll see Prague Castle, the Vltava River, and the red rooftops of Lesser Town spread out below.
The optional 45-minute VR experience adds another dimension to your visit, showing you how Old Town Square and Prague Castle looked centuries ago. This self-paced format means you can linger at viewpoints or statue details that catch your interest.
