About this activity

This walking tour will take you to some of the highlights of this city’s historical and literary spots. It starts in the New Town and works its way to the centre, dropping you off not far from Old Town Square.

Follow in the footsteps of Kundera / Hrabal / Kafka / K.H. Mácha,

visit the crypt where the Heydrich assassins were found, and learn why so many historical Prague citizens were thrown out of windows, not usually by their own choice.

This is a new experience developed by passionate locals, one of the first tours to discuss a variety of different Prague writers in detail.

All throughout, the tour is led with humour and enthusiasm, told with a unique, captivating storytelling style.
