What to bring
- Select comfortable walking shoes for navigating uneven cobblestones, sloped paths, and expansive pedestrian areas in both towns.
- Come prepared with a light jacket or warm layer due to cooler temperatures and stronger winds near rivers or shaded spots compared to Prague.
- Have an umbrella or raincoat handy as sudden showers can occur year-round; sheltered places might be scarce.
- If you're eligible for the student discount, ensure your ISIC card is with you before starting the tour.
Carry personal essentials in a small day bag since large luggage isn't practical on narrow streets and historic routes.

Maintain decorum in specific museum and chateau interiors, where food and drinks aren't permitted when open for tours.
Accessibility
