This walking tour in Prague begins with a 15-minute stroll across Charles Bridge, the medieval stone arch bridge built between 1357 and the early 1400s under King Charles IV. The tour then continues for about two hours through the streets of the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. The route passes narrow cobbled streets, passages, and courtyards, with stops at Bethlehem Chapel, where the guide explains the significance of reformer Jan Hus and Czech religious history. In the Jewish Quarter, the tour covers the history of the local Jewish community, including the Holocaust and legends such as the Golem of Prague. Visitors see the Old-New Synagogue, Europe’s oldest active synagogue, the neo-Gothic Maisel Synagogue, and the Old Jewish Cemetery, which was used from the 15th century until 1786. After exploring these areas, the group arrives at Old Town Square for about 15 minutes to learn about its major historical events, including public executions, the story of the Astronomical Clock master, Emperor Charles IV’s era, and Prague’s resistance during World War II. The final part of the tour lasts approximately 50 minutes and takes place inside the Old Town Hall complex. This includes visits to the historic halls, the underground chambers beneath Old Town Square, and the Gothic tower, where visitors can enjoy a view of the square. The Old Town Hall features the famous Astronomical Clock, which shows the twelve apostles every hour between 9 am and 11 pm. This interior section is only included in the option with underground access. Two guides lead the tour: one from PragueWay and an official guide for the Old Town Hall interiors, offering different perspectives on the city’s history. Ponchos are available on request at the meeting point in case of rain. The total duration of the tour ranges from just under three hours to a little over three hours, depending on the chosen option. The tour involves a significant amount of walking and detailed historical information, so it is not recommended for children under 10 years old. Parents with toddlers are advised to use a carrier instead of a stroller. Guests should arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start, as late arrivals cannot be refunded and may miss the group.
