This walking tour in Prague’s Old Town lasts about 90 minutes and focuses on the city’s ghost stories and legends. Starting in front of Tynska 627/7, the guide leads you along narrow cobblestone streets and alleys tied to tales of murderers, alchemists, and spirits. You will visit several sites linked to local myths passed down through generations. The walk includes a brief overview of paranormal topics that may help you notice unusual occurrences during the tour. Stops include stories about a female ghost whose son was kidnapped and executed, the painter Manes’ ghost at a historic house, and the burial site of Prague’s executioner in a former cemetery. You will also see the poorest medieval streets and hear about brutal medieval hospital surgeries. Additional stops feature the Convent of St. Agnes with its ghost story of a tragic daughter, the Spanish Synagogue with the legend of Rabbi Loew, and the Franz Kafka statue representing a scene from his 1912 story. The tour also covers tales from St. Salvator Church, including lost skulls of executed noblemen, the Jan Hus Monument, the church that inspired Disney’s Cinderella, and ends at Staromestske namesti. The tour is a small-group walking experience with a professional guide but does not include hotel pickup or drop-off.
