Things to know before joining this free walking tour:

  • We only accept customers with active reservations! If your reservation is for a different time slot, or a bigger number of people, or if you haven't made a booking, we will ask you to wait till the beginning of the tour and see if there is an available spot for you.
  • Like all our other tours, we do not accept large groups (more than 8 people) on this tour, even with separate reservations. Groups of less than 15 people can be accommodated only if they prepay the deposit. Please, check out our FAQ for more info.
  • This tour has a moderate level of walking difficulty (we walk about 4 km with few breaks and seating opportunities), which could pose challenges for elderly individuals or customers with mobility issues. Please consider booking a private tour if this applies to you.
  • We do not visit the interiors of synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery because it requires an admission fee and a special guiding permit. Additionally, if you are interested in the WWII history of the Jewish Quarter, please join our Free WWII and Communism Tour, where we dedicate more time to this topic.

Sights we cover:

  • Municipal House
  • Powder Gate
  • House at the Black Madonna
  • Charles University (Carolinum)
  • The Estates Theatre
  • Old Town Square
  • The Church of Our Lady before Tyn
