| In the company of an expert local guide, this enlightening walking tour explores the historical centre of Prague. The dramatic history of the Old Town, Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge and Lesser Town is revealed, as we walk the famous squares and medieval streets lined with ancient buildings, and learn of the people and events that have shaped Prague over the past one thousand years.
The tour begins near Wenceslas Square, from where the guide leads us through cobbled streets to Old Town Square. It is remarkable how many buildings have 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 was a place for merchants; St. Jacob’s Church, where royal weddings took place; the Carolinum, the oldest University in Central Europe; the Powder Gate Tower; Republic Square; and the stunning Art Nouveau building, Municipal House.
Next, we enter the Jewish Quarter, once the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe. We see its ancient synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery, as the guide explains the torrid events of the past, but also the wonderful traditions and legends tied to the area.
Afterwards, we cross Charles Bridge, taking in panoramic views over the river, before visiting the picturesque Lesser Town.
In just 2½ hours, the Historical Centre Tour offers participants a terrific introduction to the city of Prague. The tour finishes at the Lesser Town Square. -----------------------------------------------Prague Experience walking tours are led by licensed tourist guides.
