Description
Are you looking for a comprehensive tour so you can tick off all of the top attractions in the Old Town? Join us for our next walk!
The tour starts at the top of Wenceslas Square, which witnessed all major revolutions and military parades throughout the 20th century. A stroll down the square takes you through the Lucerna Palace and the Franciscan Garden, well hidden from tourists but well known to locals who want to escape the daily hustles and bustle of the city.
You’ll hear many interesting stories along the way: about an unfinished coronation church, how the third-oldest university in Europe was built and why locals complained about a theatre that later hosted Mozart.
Experience an amazing journey through all styles of architecture you can think of: Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, rococo, gorgeous art nouveau and cubism.
Want to make sure you’ll see all of the major sights? Just tick them off along the way: Wenceslas Square, the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock and the Týn Church, the Estates Theatre, Charles University, Municipal House, the Powder Tower, House of the Black Madonna, the Church of St. James, the Jewish Quarter with the Old New Synagogue and the Jewish Cemetery, and much, much more…
