Itinerary

  • Obecni Dum

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Municipal House (Obecni dum in Czech) is the most beautiful Art Nouveau building in Prague, built from 1905 to 1911. The café, the French and the Pilsner restaurants and the Smetana Hall are all examples of perfectly executed Art Nouveau interiors, decorated by leading artists and sculptors such as Alfons Mucha. The independence of Czechoslovakia was signed here in 1918.
  • Karolinum

    10 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Karolinum is a complex of buildings located in the Prague Old Town and it is the seat of the Charles University. The foundation of Charles University in 1348 counts among the most significant statesmanlike deeds of Charles IV.
  • Wenceslas Square (Vaclavske namEsti)

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Wenceslas Square is part of the New Town founded by emperor Charles IV in 1348. Originally called the Horse Market, the Wenceslas Square witnessed many decisive events, e.g. the Velvet revolution in 1989 which put down the Communist regime.
  • Staromestske namesti

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Old Town Square is probably the most famous square in Prague surrounded by ancient palaces and churches. Many decisive events of the country took place here.
  • Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock

    10 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The impressive Old Town Hall, with a 60-meter tower at one end, was built in 1338. On its earthy orange façade stand out a Renaissance window from 1520, the inscription Praga Caput Regni and the Old Town coat-of-arms. Crowds gather on the hour to watch the 15th century astronomical clock, as Death tips an hour glass and rings a bell before the 12 apostles march by, the cock crows and another bell rings.
  • Josefov

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Prague Jewish Quarter is named Josefov after the emperor Josef II, whose reforms helped to ease living conditions for the Jews. Josefov contains the remains of Prague's former Jewish ghetto and belongs to the most sacred Jewish sights - ancient synagogues and an old cemetery - in the world because it wasnt destroyed during WWII like most Jewish places in Europe. There are two figures synonymous with this part of the city, Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) and the mystical humunculus Golem created by Jehuda ben Bezalel, also known as Rabi Löw.
  • Charles Bridge

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Charles Bridge is arguably the most beautiful gothic bridge in the world. Commissioned by King Charles IV, Holy Roman Emporer and King of Bohemia, the bridge has served as an essential link between Prague’s Old Town and the Lesser Quarter and Prague Castle, for hundreds of years. The bridge features 30 saintly Baroque statues, mostly made of sandstone and added in the 18th century. Most of the statues you see today are replicas. The first statue to be erected on the Charles Bridge is made of bronze. This is the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of Bohemia. According to legend John of Nepomuk refused to reveal the confessions of the wife of King Wenceslas IV, and was thrown off the side of the bridge to his death. On that same night, five stars appeared in the sky above the place of his death, which is why there is always a five-starred halo above any statue of St. John of Nepomuk. Charles Bridge provides some of the most beautiful views of Prague´s historical center.
  • John Lennon Wall

    5 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The wall that was formerly an ordinary wall in Prague has been called Lennon´s since the 1980s, when people have filled it with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles songs. It became the symbol of resistance against the totalitarian Communist government. Today the Lennon Wall is still very popular among Prague's inhabitants as well as tourists.
