Prague Secrets of the Spired city Self Guided Walk
Description
In Prague’s Old Town and Castle district, a self‑guided walking tour lets you explore history, legends and quirky surprises at your own pace. As you move through the streets, you’ll hear the stories of the famous Golem and a chilling tale connected to Faust’s house. You’ll see the Astronomical Clock, where medieval fears are said to come to life on the hour, and stroll across Charles Bridge while learning the fascinating legends behind its statues, including a saint who was thrown into the river for keeping a secret. Along the way, you’ll spot modern public art that contrasts with the city’s older corners, from a rotating mirrored head of Franz Kafka to a surreal statue of Sigmund Freud dangling by one hand. The route includes an exterior overview of the Prague Castle complex, and you can choose to take the whole route in one go or split it into two parts. The experience is well suited to first‑time visitors who want flexibility, depth and a touch of local folklore to explore Prague.

You have to download an app to get the audio tour. Then you get a txt to download the content. Quite informative and good content. Cheap.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the tour informative and good value for money.
we really enjoyed it A note. As soon as one has visited a point and listened to this information, it would be great if that point were marked in the overview, so one could see at a glance which points have already been visited and what is still open
Vielen Dank für das schöne Feedback. Die Idee mit der Kennzeichnung bereits besuchter Stationen ist ein hilfreicher Vorschlag, den wir gerne aufnehmen.
