PRAHA — DEJVICE
Dive into the mysterious magic of romantic winding streets, so typical for the „mother of cities“. Together we will walk in places where significant events in Czech and world history took place. We’ll show you why Prague is called the City of a Hundred Spires and why it truly is the heart of Europe. During our walk, we’ll visit the Old Town Square with its iconic astronomical clock and apostles, the mystical Jewish Quarter, the famous Charles Bridge, and the picturesque Lesser Town.

Prague’s imaginary heart is the Old Town, and at its heart lies Old Town Square with the Cathedral of Our Lady before Týn and the Old Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock — the smart watch of its day. From here it is only a short walk to the Jewish Town, which is probably the most mysterious part of Prague. Here you’ll learn more about the Golem and the turbulent history of the Jewish community and its inhabitants.

At the Charles Bridge, we’ll give our feet a break and set off on a romantic boat ride with a view of Prague Castle and the Lesser Town and let ourselves be swayed by the gentle swells of the Vltava River. We’ll sail all the way up to the picturesque canals of Prague’s Čertovka to the sound of a working mill wheel.

How many metres underground do we have to descend in order to reach the medieval streets of Prague? In the Old Town Hall’s enigmatic underground we will discover not only former Romanesque and Gothic houses, but even an original street.
The labyrinthine subterranean system is older than the Town Hall itself, and the complex of medieval halls, passages and tunnels is the largest of its kind in Prague. At the point where the unspoilt streets of Prague’s Old Town give way to the redeveloped Jewish Quarter, you will see how Prague progressively grew in height.

Communist totalitarianism, occupation, revolution. There was a lot going on in Prague in the second half of the twentieth century. The metropolis witnessed restrictions on freedom, occupation, but also massive growth. What did the people of Prague do for fun, where did they go shopping and where did they live during the Communist dictatorship? Discover the spots where it all began and where truth and love finally triumphed over lies and hatred after 41 long years.

We will go 130 metres up, by means of more than 130 year-old funicular railway, and learn why the Petřín Wall is ‘hungry’. And then you can enjoy the view of golden Prague, or wander in a daze throughout the Mirror Maze. The walk is an ideal option for exploring Prague with children. Admission to the Mirror Maze is included, the price of the funicular ticket is not.

Strap on your helmet and let’s get going! Mount a pink Rekola bike with our guides and explore Letná and Stromovka with us. And we’ll dip into the historical centre of Prague to enjoy the view there, too. You won’t pay anything for renting a shared bike. What’s more, because we’re on bikes, we’ll be able to visit more places of interest than we could on foot. (Only for participants 18+)

karlín — new trendy neighbourhood
Why do we have a Danube House on the banks of the Vltava River and why did James Bond run around in it? This and other Karlín buildings can be found in the formerly slightly shabby and bland Prague quarter, which experienced a great rebirth after the oncein-centuries flood of 2002. Today, this district is among the most modern, where you can go not only for some fine foodie fare, but also to enjoy modern, Art Nouveau and Classicist architecture.

our guides are professionals, through and through
Although I graduated as a nurse, my love of history led me to becoming a professional guide. I have combined both of my loves — history and children. Prague is beautiful, especially the way it blends architectural styles of all periods. And children are the most observant visitors — without the everyday worries an adult has to contend with, their eyes take in far more than we do.
Mgr. Květa Navrátilová, licensed guide
Prague has one huge advantage from the point of view of the guide and the visitor alike — it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I enjoy telling people stories — not only to educate them, to move them emotionally, but also to entertain. I’m an active sort, and I don’t want to get bored. So Prague’s non-stop opening hours are just up my street.
Martin Karlík, licensed guide
