About this activity
Start your hiking day tour from Wenceslas Square in Prague's New Town. After a brief introduction to Prague’s history, your guide will walk you down the square and into the small alleys and back streets of Prague that only the locals know about. You’ll hear about the history of New Town and Old Town while seeing the most amazing sights in these areas, such as Old Town Square with its Astronomical Clock, Tyn Church, Jewish Quarter and many more.
Next, you will cross Cechuv Bridge to climb up to Letna Park, a popular hangout place among the locals. Make sure your camera is fully charged to capture the amazing views from the top of this viewing point over Prague.
After a short walk through the Royal Gardens, you will reach Prague Castle where your guide will introduce you to the castle's history and tell you stories about the influential emperors that governed over their empire from inside its massive walls. You will also be able to gain a sneak peak at St. Vitus Cathedral.
Refresh yourself at Strahov Monastery, the oldest monastery in the city center, and explore its delicious Czech cuisine and microbrewery (at own expense).
Just a few steps from the monastery, is the location of another incredible lookout: Petrin Tower, resembling Paris' Eiffel Tower. From here you can enjoy an outstanding view on Prague's city center. Zigzagging down the hill to Lesser Town, Church of St. Nicolas, the greatest baroque church in Prague, awaits you as well as John Lennon Wall, an underground place of the 80s.
Your final stop will be Charles Bridge, where your city hiking adventure will end with a great view of the upcoming sunset and a fresh breeze from Vltava river.

Great tour :-
This is a lovely walking tour around Prague and hits all the main attractions. Our tour guide, Martin, did a great job teaching us the history of his city. Highly recommended!
Our guide Michal had superb knowledge of the history of Prague and provided a top notch tour of all the highlights while taking us off the beaten path. In addition, he provided us several places to visit in Prague that brought us to neighborhoods and areas we would never have found on our own.
