Embrace the quaint feel of the Golden city!
Boasting hundreds of architectural landmarks, the Czech capital ranks among the most beautiful cities in the world with a skyline that earned it a nickname of the City of Hundred Spires. All you need is a local photographer who will give you a local perspective and show you the unique vantage points of its historic gems.
As if straight out of a storybook setting, the stunning atmosphere of the winding streets of Prague’s Old Town and Lesser Town will materialize during dusk and dawn, with vintage lamps and well-worn cobblestones surfacing in incredible detail.
Tour Itinerary
Locations right up Prague’s streets
Day 1 / Prague
Old Town Bridge Tower
Unforgettable views all around, this tower is one of the most beautiful Gothic gateways in the world. As it happens, it is also the gateway to Charles Bridge, one of the oldest preserved stone bridges in Europe, which will be the highlight of our tour on day 1.
Day 2 / Prague
Prague Castle
At the crack of dawn we will catch the sun sneaking up on the city’s skyline from Hanavský Pavilion, one of the most impressive Art Nouveau structures in the city. The luxury restaurant here offers perhaps the most sweeping panoramic views of Prague bridges. Full of the impressive views, we will take a slow walk towards the Prague Castle, the city’s landmark, a UNESCO World Heritage site, presidential residence and the place where Czech crown jewels are kept. Not to mention the fact that it is an irresistible tourist attraction visible from most Prague’s viewpoints.
Day 3 / Prague
New World (Nový svět)
The time to squeeze in an Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop session into the program. We’ll get down to whatever questions you may have and review the pictures from the tour and learn how to make best use of your RAW files and turn them into smashing photographs.
On our last night in Prague, we’ll watch the sun set over this quarter close to the Prague Castle. Its narrow alleys and tiny houses retain their old-world atmosphere and the locals often do not even know it exists - the quarter is thus a place of calm and features the only preserved timbered house in the city we can admire together.
Day 4 / Prague
Charles Bridge
On our final day, we cannot miss out on the Charles Bridge - one of the oldest preserved stone bridges in Europe and witness to many historic events. This site probably makes for the most popular sight in Prague and is an avenue to many images charged with great medieval mood. Simply put, this site place is a can‘t miss on your bucket list - it’s like the Statue of Liberty to New York...
