Prague is more than medieval cobblestone streets and Gothic spires – it is a city of revolutions, bold architectural ideas, and great transformations. Join us on a fascinating journey where every street is a stage for historical drama, every palace a silent witness to eras, and every boulevard a living symbol of the struggle for freedom and grandeur.

We begin at Wenceslas Square, the heart of Prague. Here, the country’s fate was decided – from coronation parades to the Velvet Revolution, from lavish balls to historic protests. Overlooking the square stands the National Museum, a symbol of Czech pride, knowledge, and culture. Every stone here remembers the triumphs and protests, the clatter of carriages, and the footsteps of thousands who fought for their country.

A few steps away, hidden within the stone labyrinth of the city, lies Lucerna Passage, home to one of Prague’s most unusual sculptures – Saint Wenceslas riding an upside-down horse, a satirical masterpiece by David Černý. This thought-provoking piece reminds us that history is layered and open to interpretation.

But Prague is not just about stone and architecture – it also hides peaceful sanctuaries. In Franciscan Garden, a quiet retreat in the city center, you can breathe in the fragrance of blooming roses and feel time slow down.

Our journey continues to the Church of Our Lady of the Snows, where towering Gothic walls stretch skyward, blending medieval grandeur with Baroque elegance. The church’s history is filled with unexpected twists and turns, reflecting the city’s ever-changing nature.

We then walk along Národní Street, the boulevard where the Velvet Revolution began, symbolizing the Czech people’s fight for freedom. This path leads us to one of Prague’s most striking landmarks – the Dancing House, an architectural statement of boldness and creativity. Its curving lines defy symmetry, creating a sense of movement frozen in time.

Yet, alongside new architectural forms stand old legends. We visit Faust House, a place shrouded in mystery, where alchemy and science intertwined, and where its past inhabitants were rumored to possess forbidden knowledge.

Our path takes us to Charles Square, a place of music, quiet conversations, and grand historical buildings. Here, among street musicians and locals sipping coffee, you will experience another side of Prague – peaceful, noble, and steeped in history.

Next, we visit the Church of St. Ignatius, a breathtaking Baroque masterpiece built by the Jesuits, reflecting both faith and grandeur.

Finally, we end our journey at the New Town Hall, where in 1419, anger and desperation led to the First Prague Defenestration, marking the beginning of a historic rebellion.

This route is a symphony of architecture, emotions, and epochs – where historic squares meet futuristic buildings, where revolutions echo through time, where every corner tells a new chapter of Prague’s extraordinary story.
