Mauricio – Spain

Our guide Anna was was very fluent and enthusiastic, providing us with many interesting legends and facts about Czech Republic's medieval and early modern history along different points of interests around the Prague Castle area (including some not so "touristy" ones). Totally recommended if you want to have a first taste of Czech past and folklore at night.

Allen was incredibly knowledgeable, made the tour come to life in front of our eyes. Step by step we immersed ourselves into the history of alchemy, pursuit of knowledge, understanding of divine, foundation of astronomy, chemistry, philosophy. Fascinating. Top tour.

Full description

Explore Prague after dark on a guided walking tour, and hear of the legends and mysteries of its enchanting Old Town. Admire the views of the city lit up at night, and discover places like Prague Castle, King’s Vineyard, and the Charles Bridge.

As the crowds thin and twilight descends, your adventure in nighttime Prague begins. Meet your guide at the Old Town Square, and begin your stroll through the streets filled with history and legends as you venture off the beaten path.

Head first to Paris Street, one of the most elegant passages in Prague. See the exterior of the synagogue on the street, where the legendary Golem, the protector of the former Jewish Ghetto, is supposedly hidden.

While walking toward the Manes Bridge, stop to see the interesting corner window that opens onto the charming underworld of the Old Town. Turn the corner and suddenly you’ll come to a place where alchemists once conducted experiments.

After crossing the bridge, marvel at the spectacular views of Prague. Ride up the hill by tram to the 12th-century Strahov Monastery. On the way down to Prague Castle, you’ll pass the Hole to Hell. Continue on, past the Marian Pillar and will come to the front gate of Prague Castle.

Take in the breathtaking view of the 3 spires of St. Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle. See the medieval Powder Tower, the 10th-century vineyards of St. Wencelaus, and Wallenstein Palace, before concluding the tour.

The most I liked the way that our tour guide presented stories. She did this with so much passion. She told us many facts and legends about Praga. This night journey was one of the best parts of my trip to Praga.
