| In the company of an expert local guide, this introductory walking tour or Prague uncovers the dramatic history of the Old Town and Jewish Quarter. We explore the medieval streets lined with ancient buildings, visit the magnificent squares, and learn about the people, legends and events that have shaped the city over the past thousand years. After meeting your guide near the Old Town Square, we begin our tour at the Astronomical Clock & Old Town Hall Tower. Curious symbols are built into the tower, but what hidden messages do they reveal? We learn about the Czech hero Jan Hus and the shocking Defenestrations of Prague, and discover the architectural secrets of Tyn Church. We visit charming Ungelt and see beautiful St. James’s Church, the site of royal weddings. We visit the Carolinum, the oldest University in Central Europe, and see the Estates Theatre, where Mozart personally conducted the premiere of Don Giovanni.
Part two of the tour focuses on the Jewish Quarter, once the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe. With such a turbulent history, and with so many wonderful traditions and legends attached to the area, it is difficult to overstate how much a guide can bring to your understanding of it all. Exploring the cobbled streets, we seek out famous monuments such as the Old Jewish Cemetery, the Spanish Synagogue and the Old-New Synagogue.
The Old Town & Jewish Quarter Tour is a terrific introduction to the historical centre of Prague. In just 2 hours, participants will gain a good understanding of the city's place in world history.
