Feel the grandeur of Gothic Prague, where the sharp spires of cathedrals pierce the sky, ancient bridges conceal legends beneath them, and ominous towers guard the secrets of kings and alchemists. As you stroll through medieval streets, you will hear the voices of the past, touch age-old stones, and sense the breath of an era when the greatest architectural masterpieces were created. Ready to unveil the mysteries of the past and walk through the shadows of history?

Starting Point: The Powder Tower

Prague is a city where time seems frozen among Gothic spires, gloomy towers and mysterious alleys. Here, among the stone giants of the Middle Ages, the footsteps of kings echoed, conspirators whispered, and alchemists tried to unravel the secrets of the universe. We invite you to embark on an unforgettable journey, where legends will come to life and every turn of the street will open a new page of history.

We will start at the Powder Tower, whose time-smouldered walls seem to guard the entrance to the old town. This is where the royal processions that travelled through the streets of Prague to be crowned on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire began. Passing under its massive arch, we will find ourselves in the heart of medieval magic – in the labyrinth of narrow streets leading to the Týn Church. Its sharp spires pointing skyward rise above the square like two gloomy shadows of the past. It is here, among the mysterious vaults, that the great astronomer Tycho Brahe once worked, and above the altar shimmers a mysterious Gothic cross, the origin of which is the subject of myths.

Then the Old Town Hall, home to the legendary Orloj clock, awaits us. Every hour their figures come to life, as if reminding of the eternal cycle of time, and their complex mechanism still amazes scientists. But few people know what tragic secret lies behind their creation, and why the creator of this clock paid for his craftsmanship so cruelly.

Further on we will come to the Old Town Bridge Tower, one of the most grandiose Gothic buildings in Europe. It is like a portal between worlds – between the hustle and bustle of the city and the mysterious atmosphere of Charles Bridge. We will find out why eggs were laid in its foundations, what magical symbols are hidden among its sculptures, and where you can make a wish come true. The ancient cobblestones will lead us to the Malostranski Bridge Towers, which for centuries guarded the entrance to the aristocratic Lesser Town. Ambassadors, artists, philosophers walked here, and behind the massive doors secret negotiations and palace intrigues were hidden.

Our journey will end at St Vitus Cathedral, where history and grandeur are intertwined. Kings have been crowned, royal regalia has been stored and the fates of entire dynasties have been sealed. We will see dazzling stained glass windows created by Alphonse Mucha, pass by ancient royal tombs and find out why one of the tombs is still sealed.

The final chord will be the Daliborka Prison Tower, where the imprisoned knight Dalibor is said to have played the violin, winning the hearts of the townspeople.

This walk will make you feel the rhythm of medieval Prague – feel the coldness of the stone, the trembling of the pavements under the royal processions, the power and mystery of the Gothic churches. You will see the city through the eyes of those who created its legends, and experience the magic of the streets, where the past lives on in every silhouette, every spire, every lantern glow.
