Join me on an introductory tour of Prague, where I'll show you the major monuments and landmarks of the historical centre. Soak up the atmosphere, get an idea of the city's layout and how it all fits together, and make the most of your time in this beautiful city. This tour can be done either by foot or by car.
For those with more time and stamina, a more detailed tour is perfect to discover the rich history, culture and beauty of our captivating city. On this walk we will explore all five of its historical districts – Old Town, Jewish Quarter, New Town, Lesser Quarter, and Castle District. These districts were once separate towns, each with its own local town hall and defence walls.
On this walk we will explore the Castle District and the castle complex itself, an ancient seat of power still in use today. In the past, the richer the family, the closer they wanted to live to the royal court. And that’s why this part of the city developed into a charming quarter where we find many fine aristocratic palaces and splendid baroque gardens.
Prague would not be the same without the presence of its Jewish community, dating back as early as the 10th century. On this walk we will visit the Prague Jewish Museum and learn about the outstanding personalities like Franz Kafka or Rabbi Low, the legendary creator of Golem.
Prague was once the capital of a very prosperous land. The land was called Czechoslovakia and it ranked among the 10 most developed countries in the world. But then, in 1938, everything changed. Adolf Hitler came to take over. And soon after him, in 1948, the communists followed. They seized power and remained in control of the country until 1989.
Experience the magic of Prague at night on this panoramic car tour, where you can take in the stunning views of the city. Walking the streets of Prague in the daytime is of course a must, but seeing it all in the blue hour, at dusk, when all the buildings and monuments are lit up, is extraordinarily beautiful.
Are you tired of walking too much, yet eager to learn more about our history and way of life, perhaps while tasting some typical Czech goodies? This is the tour for you. We will visit some of Prague’s favourite spots to sample traditional snacks, dishes and beverages, and indulge in the flavours of Czech cuisine. You will learn how Pilsner beer came into being and why it is so good, why our former president worked in a brewery, and what impact the Communist regime had on the Czech gastronomic scene. I’ll be talking about how Czechs cooked then and what the new trends are now. And who knows, you may fall in love with some of our nation’s yummy treasures!
