Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

ON THIS TOUR: As part of a small group, you cross Prague’s oldest and most iconic bridge, hear the Czech history intro to get a context, then you can enjoy a "welcome" special local beer (or other drink). We will make stops along the way and show you the more hidden parts away from souvenirs and crowds, as well as the high-profile sights such as Charles Bridge, Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock or Jewish Quarter. In 2/3 of the tour, you will sit around table and taste samples of the traditional Czech cuisine. The idea for this concept was: "Let’s say you only have 1 day to spend in Prague, what would be the best possible activity to do, to learn about the city history, today’s life and culture?" We also provide you with our guidebook - where we like to eat and drink, what are our favorite parts of Prague.

Old Town is a labyrinth of little cobbled streets, passages and hidden courtyards - on our one of a kind route, get to see both main sights and off the beaten path!

We tell you more about legendary reformer priest Jan Hus, oh and before that, we have a local beer/ other drink :)

Stop 4

The Estates Theatre was built during the late 18th century in response to Enlightenment thought regarding general access to the theatre, and theatres themselves demonstrating the cultural standards of a nation. One of the Estates Theatre’s many claims to glory is its strong link with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who conducted the world premiere of his opera Don Giovanni here in October 1787.

Stop 5 Pass by

We’ll hit the "Royal Path" and see the gothic Powder Tower, that used to be one of the original city gates. It separates the Old Town from the New Town.

One of the most important historical sites in Prague, this block of buildings, probably built in the 11th century, was originally a fortified merchants’ yard, where customs duties – ungelt – were collected.

Stop 7

After we criss cross the hidden streets, we get to Prague’s main historical square, where we spend some time and give you a solid overview.

Stop 8

World unique astronomical clock, we’ll describe and tell you why it’s special. It’s much more than just the each full hour time show :)

Stop 9

Prague’s "most expensive street", surprisingly all pseudo-historical and not that old...

We’ll eat and drink in this traditional Czech cuisine restaurant.

Stop 11

Europe's oldest active synagogue in the heart of Prague’s old jewish district. We discuss the uneasy past of local jewish community and the holocaust, but also "Golem of Prague" legend and more!

Stop 12

Impressive 19th-century cultural venue with concert halls, art gallery and exhibition spaces, Prague’s so-called "House of arts". This is our final stop.

What's not included

Please note that due to our 3 hours time limit, we do not visit interiors of the sights
