Three Prague quarters, connected on one walk

A licensed English-speaking guide leads groups of up to 20 past Wenceslas Square, the Lucerna Arcade, the Franciscan Garden, the Estates Theatre, the Powder Tower area and Josefov, ending at the Astronomical Clock.

Synagogue and museum entries are not included unless the live option says otherwise.

Highlights
