On arrival your Tour Managers will organise the onward coach to take you to the hotel for the four-night stay. Evening: after a chance to settle in and relax there will be a hosted welcome drinks reception in the hotel, after which an evening meal with drinks will be served. 2 Christmas Eve - Prague city tour & markets Morning: after breakfast you will meet up with your Tour Managers and the rest of the party and you will be transferred by coach to the centre of Prague for your relaxed walking tour of the city. Prague is a largely pedestrianised city, so all the main attractions can be seen on foot. You will see the Charles Bridge, the Jewish Quarter and Wenceslas Square. As this is a relaxed walking tour you will break for coffee half way through. Afternoon: after the morning stroll you will have some free time to enjoy the Christmas markets in the centre of the city before transferring to the hotel.

After the guided tour you will join our exclusive river boat for a two-hour cruise along the Vltava River. Afternoon: lunch will be served on the boat and you will be entertained by live accordion music as you gently cruise down the
river under the Charles Bridge to see some more of the sights, after which you will take in a magical Christmas concert in one of the churches in the centre of the city. How about that for a great day? Evening: there will be a special exclusive party where you will celebrate Christmas by eating, drinking and - if you wish - dancing to the live entertainment. 4 Boxing Day - Karlstejn Castle Morning: after breakfast you will drive to the beautiful village of Karlstejn.

Prague guided City tour A mornings walking tour of Prague with an official guide to see the best of the historic capital of the Czech Republic.
Prague Castle grounds guided tour Although much of Prague s Castle is closed during the Christmas festival a trip to Prague would not be complete without a walk through the grounds. We have therefore arranged to take you through the grounds of the castle with our local guide on Christmas morning. Magical Christmas Day concert in a local church Christmas is all about surprises and as a Christmas surprise we have arranged to see a special Christmas concert in a local church in the afternoon of the 25th of December. Karlstejn Castle guided tour Boxing Day will be spent out of Prague to get a flavour for the countryside. A three quarter day tour to Charles IV s magnificent country house including a guided tour inside the Castle followed by plenty of free time for shopping and lunch in this atmospheric village located one hour from Prague. Prague Christmas Markets There will be free time on 2 of our days in the afternoon for you to shop and enjoy the Christmas Markets in the centre of Prague (Old Town and Wenceslas Square) and to try a few of the local specialities. Outdoor Christmas shopping is so much easier with a cup of hot wine (svařené víno or svařák) in your hand! Exclusive Christmas Day lunch cruise on the river On Christmas Day a 2 hour lunch cruise on the famous River Vltava (internationally known as the Moldau) through the centre of Prague has been arranged. Onboard you will have a buffet lunch and live music. The boat is a great way to relax and see the city. Boxing Day evening Gypsy show with dinner and all drinks Folklore is very much part of a Czech Christmas so we have chosen to finish our Christmas holiday in traditional style.
