The remainder of the day is free to explore at your own pace. You may enjoy strolling down cobbled streets in Old Town, uncovering the secrets of the astronomical clock, and indulging in world-class Czech cuisine.

Unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks are yours to enjoy during dinner while the Cruise Director’s expert commentary and staff’s exceptional service elevate this unforgettable journey.

Looking out from the palace, you can also see the famous arches and columns of Gloriette set on the hillside.
