2-Hour Old Town and Jewish Quarter Tour in Prague




Description
Prague’s imaginary heart is the Old Town, and at its heart lies Old Town Square with the Cathedral of Our Lady before Týn and the Old Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock - the smartwatch of its day. From here it is only a short walk to the Jewish Town, which is probably the most mysterious part of Prague. Here you’ll learn more about the Golem and the turbulent history of the Jewish community and its inhabitants.

Great tour with a great guide (Filip H)
A nice experience with a very knowledgeable guide, the only thing was the voice was a little low, with headphones and/or a microphone it would have been more efficient, but overall she was good, giving a lot of interesting information and leaving us with a nice experience.
