Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in the City of a Hundred Spires Welcome to Prague. After your private airport transfer, settle into a boutique hotel in the heart of Old Town—perhaps a historic residence with vaulted ceilings and hidden courtyards. Spend your first afternoon adjusting at your own pace. A twilight stroll leads you past the Astronomical Clock and into a candlelit dinner tucked inside a medieval cellar. Jet lag never felt so magical.
Day 2: Secrets of Old Prague with a Local Guide This morning, meet your private guide for a deep dive into Prague’s Old Town, Jewish Quarter, and the royal route to Prague Castle. From hushed synagogues to royal halls, stories come alive. Pause for artisan coffee in a tucked-away bookshop, then cross the Vltava for sunset views from Letná Park. Tonight: dinner with panoramic views from a rooftop terrace.
Day 3: Art Nouveau & Underground Cool Explore Prague’s modern side today—think hidden sculpture gardens, Kafkaesque cafes, and the graceful curves of Art Nouveau architecture. An afternoon private tour showcases local designers and contemporary galleries. Cap the day with a jazz dinner cruise along the Vltava.
Day 4: Castles & Silver in Kutná Hora Leave Prague behind for the haunting beauty of Kutná Hora. Tour the UNESCO-listed Sedlec Ossuary, then explore gothic St. Barbara’s Church and the town’s silver-mining past. Return to Prague by evening, with an optional private spa session waiting to ease you back into city life.
Day 5: Bohemian Spas & Forest Trails Head west to Karlovy Vary, the storied spa town where royalty once bathed. After checking into a riverside chateau, indulge in a traditional thermal treatment or a forest hike with panoramic viewpoints. Dine at a grand belle époque restaurant—jacket recommended.
Day 6: Castles, Carriages & the Countryside Your driver takes the scenic route south today, past rolling hills and castle silhouettes. Pause at Hluboká Castle for a private tour (and a picnic in its manicured gardens) before arriving in Český Krumlov. Tonight’s boutique inn overlooks the Vltava.
Day 7: Renaissance Reverie in Český Krumlov Step back centuries as you wander this jewel-box town. With your local guide, uncover frescoed interiors, artisan shops, and theatrical tales from the town’s Baroque theatre. Enjoy a leisurely lunch by the river and, if you wish, a private canoe float for two.
Day 8: Moravian Wine Country Beckons Today you’ll head east to Mikulov, where vineyards stretch to the Austrian border. Settle into a wine estate, then join a sommelier for a cellar tasting. Golden light spills over the hills during your farm-to-table dinner on the terrace.
Day 9: Palaces & Pairings in Lednice-Valtice Explore the opulent Lednice-Valtice complex—a fantasyland of palaces, gardens, and romantic follies. Today’s experiences include a horse-drawn carriage ride, garden strolls, and wine pairings from nearby cellars. Return to your estate for one last starry evening.
Day 10: Farewell & Departure Enjoy a slow breakfast and vineyard views before your private transfer to Vienna or Prague for your onward journey. The Bohemian dream lingers, ready to be relived anytime.
