The 18th-century Estates is considered among the most beautiful in Europe. As Prague's oldest theater, it is known for its connection to Mozart, who personally conducted the world premiere of Don Giovanni here. The neoclassical façade and lavish interiors make this one of the city’s finest buildings.
Prague’s Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) is the historic heart and navigational center of the city’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. A feast of architectural wonders, the medieval square is ringed with grandiose Romanesque, baroque, and Gothic style buildings, including some of Prague’s most photographed monuments.
One of the oldest neighborhoods in town represents the medieval heart of Prague. It’s no surprise it is bustling with tourists every time of day. Križovnický square, overlooking Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the background, is probably the most beautiful square in the city. Its unique historical atmosphere of gothic houses and churches, cobblestone streets and squares, and stone towers blend together with the modern era. A vast array of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, international brand shops, galleries and hotels bring life to the old city. With its charming and picturesque cobblestone streets, the nightlife and parties will surely be unforgettable.
Prague’s historic Clementinum is a vast complex of beautiful baroque and rococo halls. One of the largest building complexes in Europe, the halls were built from the mid-16th century to mid-18th century, originally as a Jesuit dormitory. The Clementinum is now mostly occupied by the Czech National Library.
Classical concert in the Mirror chapel With a program featuring the Spring and Winter from Vivaldi's Four Seasons and masterpieces of the classical music repertoire performed by a chamber ensemble of the Dvorák Symphony orchestra, along with an organ, a solo violin and a singer, this classical music concert at Prague's beloved Klementinum is sure to set you to return for more. The Mirror Chapel, really called the Chapel of the Annunciation, is located in the Klementinum complex in Prague's Old Town. The mirror chapel got its name thanks to the large number of mirrors located in the interior of the chapel.
Forming a grand walkway between Prague Old Town, and the Lesser Town and Castle District, the 15th-century Charles Bridge (Karluv Most) is one of the city’s most striking landmarks. The magnificent Gothic bridge features 16 stone arches, two watchtowers, and 30 blackened baroque statues depicting various saints.
Prague's most prestigious concert hall, home of the Czech Philharmonic, which performed here for the first time in 1896 under the baton of Antonín Dvořák. The Neo-Renaissance building was built from 1876 to 1884. Originally it had a picture gallery, museum collections and a concert hall; in 1918-1938 and 1945-1946 it served as the National Assembly building. The main hall - Dvořák Hall - is the venue for exceptional concerts of classical music. * the remaining time Is the time period during which the guests are having a dinner at the local restaurant.

This was our last evening in Prague before returning home. We met Martin at the Charles the 4th statue at the east end of the Charles Bridge, visited the adjacent St. Francis Of Assisi Church, and spent a couple of hours walking the streets of Old Town, focusing on the sites where Mozart and Beethoven had played, as well as other points of interest relating to music. We attended a concert at the Mirror Chapel in the Clementinum, a beautiful hall. The concert was classical music top 40, played in abridged versions for the longer pieces, by a chamber group, with the organ playing solo for a couple of pieces, and combing with the chamber group for one selection. The chamber group was very good, and the vocal soloist had an excellent voice. Their version of "Die Moldau" or "Vltava" from Má Vlast was rather jarring to anyone familiar with the piece (4 minutes vs. the usual 12), but, okay, musical completeness was not what this experience was about. We then went to dinner at a local restaurant favored by our host. The food was very tasty, typical Czech fare, with plenty of beer to wash it down. So from the sound of it so far, a nice, standard sort of tour. But it was more than that because of Martin, an enviably multilingual guy, who engaged us from the start, and our tour evolved into a cultural conversation of the most enjoyable sort. And at dinner, we were joined by his in-laws, Jim and Debbie, visiting from the States, and later by his wife, Kate, and dinner turned into a thoroughly convivial event. Being a tourist can be difficult at times due to not knowing the language or the cultural norms or how to get from point A to point B, but the mark of a place worth visiting is how welcome you feel when you're there. I don't believe, in all the traveling I have done, that I have ever felt more welcome. So thank you, Martin, for a most memorable tour!
Highly recommend this tour if you love music and delicious local cuisine. Our guide was charming and knowledgeable.
Martin is a wonderful local guide who took us to all the non touristy places with great history and gave us a very informative / interesting summary of all the places we visited. The concert in the mirrored chapel was superb and we ended the evening with a local Czech dinner with some traditional dishes. All said great fun and highly recommended!
This was a fantastic tour. The right amount of walking and exploring and we could suggest the pace. Martin gave us so many great suggestions to start our trip and introduced us to many local street foods and experiences along our tour. The concert was excellent and so was our meal. Perfect way to start our journey!
Martin was an excellent guide who tailored our experience to our preference. Since we had taken tour earlier in the day that included Old Town he took us to a place first for a beer and a snack. He then showed us an area beneath the bar that were rooms from 800AD. Fascinating. The concert was in an old church with excellent musicians who played well known music by Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and others. Dinner was at one of his favorite restaurants with locals serving local favorites. Delicious. Great experience; great guide
Thanks to Martin for sharing the history of music icons connected to Prague. We almost felt like locals taking non crowded routes as we soaked up this beautiful city. The classical music concert was indeed a treat .
This small-group tour was exceptionally done by its creator, Martin. The balance of walking tour, the concert, and then the meal together was perfect. And a very good value as well. I highly recommend it.
Martin is a knowledgeable guide and a very friendly one. The quality of the tour is excellent and he was happy to tailor the tour to our needs. The concert in the Clementium was excellent and the meal at the end a real treat.
