This two-hour walking tour in Prague’s Old Town is led by a licensed local guide from PragueWay. The tour begins with a fifteen-minute crossing of Charles Bridge, the city’s oldest and most iconic bridge, where the guide shares key moments in Prague’s history and local stories. Next, the group explores the labyrinth of cobbled streets, passages, and courtyards in the Old Town for about thirty minutes, visiting both well-known sights and quieter corners. The tour continues with a ten-minute stop at Bethlehem Chapel, where the guide explains the connection to reformer Jan Hus and the role of religion in Czech history. Afterward, the group spends ten minutes at Tyn Yard (Ungelt), a fortified merchant’s courtyard dating back to the 11th century, originally used for collecting customs duties. The tour then moves to the Jewish Quarter, Josefov, for twenty minutes. Here, the guide discusses the history of the local Jewish community, the Holocaust, and the Golem legend. Within Josefov, the tour includes visits to the Old-New Synagogue, Europe’s oldest active synagogue, and the Maisel Synagogue, a neo-gothic building from the late 16th century. The Old Jewish Cemetery, one of Europe’s largest Jewish cemeteries dating from the 15th century to 1786, is also visited. The walk concludes at Staromestske namesti, Prague’s main historic square, where the group spends fifteen minutes receiving an overview of the area. Finally, the tour ends with a ten-minute visit to the Old Town Hall to view and learn about the Astronomical Clock, including details beyond its hourly show. Ponchos are available on request in case of rain. Private and full-day tour options are offered for those seeking a longer experience. For families with small children, a carrier is recommended instead of a stroller. Participants should arrive at least ten minutes before the scheduled start to avoid delays.
