About this experience

This tour is designed for those who want to discover Prague Castle at a relaxed pace, without rushing. Because it is a private experience, we can adapt the walk to your group: stopping for photos, enjoying the views or simply taking a few extra minutes to admire the city from one of the castle’s viewpoints.

Rudolf II: genius, madman… or both?

Among all the kings and emperors who lived in Prague Castle, one figure always steals the spotlight: Rudolf II.

A Habsburg raised in one of the most powerful dynasties in Europe… and also one of the most obsessed with keeping its bloodline “pure.” Let’s just say that sometimes the family trees looked more like circles than trees.

Genius, eccentricity, and alchemists

Rudolf was brilliant, eccentric and quite unpredictable. He loved art, collected strange objects and filled his court with astronomers, alchemists and curious characters who promised to uncover the secrets of the universe.

But while some were searching for gold in their laboratories, others began to wonder if the emperor himself might be losing his mind. His castle slowly became something between an imperial palace, a cabinet of curiosities… and a small theater of madness.

And thanks to this extraordinary emperor, Prague became for a time one of the most fascinating, mysterious and unusual cities in Europe.
