| In the company of an expert local guide, this enlightening walking tour of Prague’s historical centre introduces you to the Old Town, Jewish Quarter and Charles Bridge.
Discover the dramatic history of Prague as we explore the city’s squares and medieval streets, and learn about the people and events that have shaped the city over the past thousand years.
The tour begins near Wenceslas Square, from where the guide leads us through cobbled streets lined with ancient buildings to Old Town Square. It is remarkable how much has survived from the Middle Ages. We see the Estates Theatre, where Mozart performed in 1787; Havel's Market; the Gothic Tyn Church; charming Ungelt, which for centuries served as a place for merchants; St. Jacob’s Church, once the setting for royal weddings; the Carolinum, the oldest university in Central Europe; the Powder Gate Tower; Republic Square; and the striking Art Nouveau building Municipal House. Next, we visit the Jewish Quarter, once the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe. Here we see its ancient synagogues and the renowned Old Jewish Cemetery, as the guide recounts the torrid events of the past and the traditions and legends connected with the area.
Afterwards, we make our way to Charles Bridge to take in the panoramic views over the Vltava River.
