Your day-by-day itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to Prague

At 3 p.m. we'll meet at the hotel to get acquainted with our group and go over the week's schedule. Then we'll take the tram together to the Vyšehrad district and enjoy sampling some traditional Czech cuisine. Walking: moderate.

Day 2: Prague of Kings and Nobles

Today we'll tackle what is arguably the biggest castle on earth. For a thousand years the Czech people have been ruled from Prague's historic castle complex. We'll visit the light-bathed St. Vitus Cathedral, and let the windows of the Royal Palace throw a few glimpses into Prague's turbulent past. The afternoon is free to explore more of the castle, visit the Baroque library and goofy dodo bird in the Strahov Monastery, or wander through the Malá Strana gardens and palaces. Walking: strenuous.

Day 3: Prague of Prophets and Radicals

Today, we'll enjoy an orientation walk through the historic cobblestone streets and colorful façades of Prague's Staré Mesto (Old Town), and the surprising campus of the country's oldest university. We'll learn about famous Czechs such as Emperor Charles and Jan Hus. We'll also visit the slinky Art Nouveau Mucha Museum before setting you free to shop and explore. Walking: strenuous.

Day 4: Jewish Prague

Today we'll explore Josefov, once the site of Prague's Jewish Ghetto and still one of the most evocative Jewish districts in all of Europe. For a thousand years one of the leading centers of Judaism, the neighborhood is studded with thought-provoking museums, fascinating synagogues, and a Kafkaesque, dream-like cemetery. Later today we'll gather for a nostalgic "Revolution of 1989 Walk." Walking: moderate.

Day 5: Kutná Hora and the Silver Age

We'll hop on a bus to explore sleepy, provincial Kutná Hora, once the leading city of the country during the silver boom of the 1400s. The silver is long gone, but the country's biggest Gothic cathedral, Europe's only Gothic well, and elaborate townhouses are a vivid testament to the town's former glory. After descending into a medieval mine, we will also visit a unique bone chapel. Bus: 4 hrs. Walking: moderate.

Day 6: Prague Neighborhoods

After a free morning, we will meet in the afternoon for an activity specially chosen for your group by your guide. Our tour's finale is a grand and sumptuous Czech farewell feast! Walking: moderate.

Day 7: Tour Over After Breakfast

Following breakfast, we'll say our goodbyes and head for home — or on to another exciting destination!
