Hear Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvořák, Beethoven, and more in Prague’s Baroque Mirror Chapel, with one hour of music for $34.
“The venue is stunning and the sound is spectacular!”
Hear world-class jazz at Prague’s historic Reduta Jazz Club, with intimate seating, a saxophone bar, and optional VIP perks.

Cruise Prague’s Vltava River with live jazz, city views, and an optional three-course dinner. Get practical tips on seating, value, and timing.
“Me and my wife had a really nice time. Food was decent quality, staff were friendly and welcoming and the boat including WC was really clean. 2.5 hours is defiantly enough time though as there is lots of circling up and down the river. We sat inside which was the right choice given the temperatures were low at this time of year but thankfully we had the option to pop outside for a short while to see the lovely views which was nice as the reflection of the windows from inside made it a little difficult to fully to see. The band was good and talented. Could of done with…”
Enjoy Mozart by candlelight in Prague’s Boccaccio Ballroom, with opera, chamber music, a three-course dinner, and period costumes.
“It’s an expensive evening but worth it. Lovely event. It was well organized. The musicians and the opera singers ‘spot on’. We had a private box, which was lovely. The seating of the ballroom is beautiful and added to a great evening.”
Hear Bach, Mozart, and Czech masters in Lobkowicz Palace’s Baroque hall, with an optional museum visit and Prague views from the café.
“Great musicians and performance.The young pianost was exceptional. The concert room has great acoustics. The organisation needs a little improvement though: it wasn't clear that you can't enter with an online ticket only and the queue for issueing paper tickets was enormous. The stewards don't inform people where the cloakroom is and 98% of people were with their jackets and coats inside the concert room.”
Hear classical, Czech, Jewish, and modern music in Prague’s ornate Spanish Synagogue, with excellent acoustics and a one-hour program.
“It was wonderful. The selection of music was excellent and the musicians and singer were terrific. The setting couldn't be better--beautiful and intimate.”
Hear Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvořák, and more inside Prague’s St. Nicholas Church, with superb acoustics and a one-hour concert.
“The concert was great and even though it was very cold outside it was warm in the church. A beautiful building and amazing musicians. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The only draw back was there was no organisation at the door and they had to write down everyone’s details and GYG references which made for a very long wait.”
Enjoy Mozart opera highlights, a three-course Czech and Austrian dinner, and a welcome drink in Prague’s grand Boccaccio Ballroom.
“It was a beautiful space and worth it! Food was delicious too! Our service was a little rough but it was overall a great experience.”
Hear Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvořák, and more in Prague’s Baroque Mirror Chapel with the Royal Czech Orchestra.
“I was mesmerized by this performance really i still get goosebumps watching the videos.”
Hear Mozart, Smetana, Dvořák, and Vivaldi in Prague’s Baroque St. Giles Church, with superb acoustics, organ, strings, and soprano.
“Great Orchestra and Opera Singer at a fantastic price”
Hear Czech and European classics in Prague’s ornate Klementinum Mirror Chapel, with one hour of music, fine acoustics, and a memorable setting.
“The concert was everything I thought it would be. The string players were quite brave to be playing in such a cold venue (25 degrees F/-3.9 degrees C). I spoke to a violin player friend of mine and she has no idea how they could do that without damaging their instruments. The music was very nice, and it was good that the quintet invited a singer on stage a few times. We were sitting in the very last row, so having something visually stimulating helped as we really couldn't see the players. The music was festive and expertly played. Though cold, the castle provided excellent acoustics.Read more”
Review of Prague’s Spanish Synagogue concert, with practical advice on music programs, seating, value, timing, and who will enjoy it.
“To put a classical twist on modern music was genius! The instrumentals and the songstress were amazing. The concert brought back fond memories, and the Synagogue is beautiful. Highly recommend!”
Hear Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvořák, and Smetana in a frescoed 17th-century room at Prague Castle during this one-hour midday concert.
“Absolutely wonderful the venue and the performance. Very good value for money too.”
Hear a 1702 organ in Prague’s St. Francis Church during a one-hour baroque concert near Charles Bridge, with practical tips on seats and warmth.
“When the organ was played loudly. I felt the soprano had a weak voice and having her sing from the balcony made it difficult to hear her. And the organist needed to play very quietly so as not to drown her out. For the last two songs, she sang at audience level with the violinist, which was far better. That is a big church to fill with music.”

“Great concert and very interesting tour of the palace staff were very helpful”
Pick a hill, a cellar or a stretch of river.
