Christmas in Prague

This Christmas holiday with Just You centres on Prague, where the group settles into a hotel close to the UNESCO-listed Old Town. On Christmas Eve, a walk covers the city's central sights: Wenceslas Square, the Jewish Quarter and the stone arches of Charles Bridge. A lunch cruise on the Vltava River offers a new vantage point before an afternoon break.

Christmas Day begins with a guided stroll through the Castle District, including St Vitus Cathedral, before returning for a quiet afternoon to explore further. The following day takes the coach south to South Bohemia. A morning stop at Christmas markets in České Budějovice precedes lunch and a walk through the more intimate streets of Český Krumlov, topped by its castle on the river bend.

Boxing Day is for leisure in Prague, with an optional extension to a brewery and the gothic church of St Barbara in Kutná Hora. The group gathers again for farewell dinner in a microbrewery, closing out a holiday that combines the city's festive traditions with historic towns a short drive away.
