This walking tour explores Prague’s darker history through stories of ghosts, legends, and medieval life. The guide, dressed in period costume, leads the group through the dim lanes of the Old Town and the former Jewish Ghetto by lantern light. Participants hear tales such as the headless bride’s love and betrayal, the murder of St. Wenceslas by his brother, the fate of a priest during the inquisition, the undead horseman, and the dead astronomer. The tour includes visits to gothic churches, an abandoned cemetery, and a hidden alchemy laboratory linked to the legendary Golem. The route continues underground to a medieval cellar where the guide explains life in medieval Prague, including public executions, plague epidemics, and floods that altered the city. The visit also covers the secret alchemy lab and the story of the Golem monster. The final stop is the Dungeon illuminated by candlelight, where visitors learn about medieval torture methods and see execution instruments, including those related to the executioner Jan Mydlář and the 1621 Old Town executions. This tour lasts about 70 to 85 minutes and includes a live guide and all entry fees. It is a walking tour that involves lantern-lit streets, stairs, and underground passages, so it is not suitable for people with mobility issues or young children. Photography is allowed, but video recording requires special permission. The guide speaks the chosen language of the tour, and group size or weather conditions may affect the exact route.
