Turn the wasted travel day into the highlight of your trip with stops at Karlštejn Castle, Pilsen Old Town and the UNESCO listed Regensburg on your journey from Prague to Nuremberg.
We had a private transfer and tour from Prague to Nuremberg, with stops at Karlstejn Castle, Pilsen and Regensburg. We are experienced travelers and fairly picky about tours. Marketa was knowledgeable, charming and flexible. She had insightful recommendations for stops, restaurants and things to focus on. I would highly recommend this service and Marketa to anyone.

We walk up to Karlštejn Castle, one of the most famous castles of Czech Republic.
What we'll do
During the tour we walk up the hill to Karlštejn Castle ’s courtyard. The castle is built on top of a steep hill and hidden from sight as you approach it until it suddenly towers high above you. There is also a little village that surrounds the hill, you’ll walk through it as you climb up towards the castle. The main road up to the castle is lined with little shops and cafes giving a great chance to make small stops on your way. From the top of the hill you’ll have great views to the surrounding area.

Karlštejn Castle was built by the Czech king and Holy Roman emperor Charles IV as a place to store the royal treasures, collections of holy relics, and the crown jewels. Built in the 14th century Karlštejn Castle is one of the most important and famous castles in Czech Republic. Entering the castle’s courtyard is like stepping back in time.

About Pilsen
Pilsen is Czech Republic’s fourth largest city with a population of about 170 000 people. Growing around a castle, Pilsen becomes a city in the 13th century. The city grows in importance in the 19th century when many important industries are founded here during industrialization of the Austria-Hungarian Empire. Most famous of them is Škoda Works. Today Pilsen’s fame comes from its beer - Pilsner Urquell, its brewery was also founded in the 19th century.
We learn about the legends of the gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage Old Town of Regensburg.
What we'll do
We will walk through Regensburg’s charming Old Town and take a look at its famous St Peter’s Cathedral . As you wander around the city you can sense the history surrounding you. We cross the Stone Bridge - medieval bridge that for a long time was the only way to cross the Danube here. Everywhere you turn you will find beautiful views of the Regensburg Old Town.
About Regensburg
Regensburg is in a very strategic location. Here three rivers meet - the Danube, Naab, and Regen. Before modern times crossing big rivers was a complicated matter. In the 12th century a stone bridge was built across the Danube in Regensburg. This made the city even more important bringing wealth through trade. Luckily the Old Town took little damage in the Second World War and is today under UNESCO World Heritage protection.
