Discover Prague’s thriving Jewish history.Between the bustling Old Town Square and the gentle waves of the Vltava river, you’ll find a stretch of land renowned for its Jewish history. This area, composed entirely of tiny streets and small squares, was known as the neighbourhood of the poor. Can you imagine that? At the beginning of the 20th century, everything changed.

Searching for Bohemian PragueŽižkov is one of the most iconic Prague neighbourhoods outside of the historical centre. In the past, its mostly working-class population, lively pubs and cabarets, and hilly terrain under Vítkov Hill together cast an irresistible spell under which many an aspiring artist fell. Žižkov was home to two famous Jaroslavs – Hašek, author of the world-famous humorous novel The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk During the World War, and Seifert, a poet who is the sole Czech Nobel laureate for literature. Today Zižkov is undergoing rapid chang

The Mutable Charm of Prague’s Parks and GardensThis longer route is ideal for lovers of romantic landscapes. It will take you through a seemingly endless series of parks and gardens with magical views of the city, while avoiding areas with lots of tourists.

Beginning in Holešovice, it ascends to Letná, continues along the river to Prague Castle, through Petřín Park to the very edge of the Lesser Town, to finally

Head Back in Time to a Secret GardenThe walk creates both a literal and imaginary bridge between two worlds that, while different, still have much in common. It connects two very different Prague districts and two iconic buildings of Prague’s National Gallery: the Functionalist Trade Fair Palace (Veletržní palác), with the modern art collection, and the ancient Convent of St. Agnes of Bohemia, in which the medieval art collection is displayed. From Holešovice, your route takes you through Letná Park to the Metronome, a modern dominant of the left bank of the Vltava

A District Reborn: From Graffiti to IndustrialThis route is ideal for those whoʼd rather be enchanted by the raw charm of a modern city and the poetry of old industrial complexes. The walk takes you through one of the most exciting and rapidly developing Prague districts, where thereʼs always something happening. Holešovice was a former centre of manufacturing and business, and some of its distinctive factory complexes from the early 20th century remain. The factories no longer serve their original purpose and have been modernized and renovated, finding new lives as apartme

From Dreamy Villas to Socialist SkyscrapersAn extraordinary experience full of contrasts awaits you. Střešovice and Dejvice both feature some captivating architecture, especially if you’re fond of imaginative 20th century buildings. Many artists settled in the Střešovice villa district. Painters and sculptors had their studios here, but even wealthy businessmen built their family homes here. The peaceful atmosphere of the leafy residential district can be felt to this day. Dejvice, on the other hand, is completely different. It was established in the capital of the new Czechoslovak s

An excursion to Karlín is ideal for those who are happy to leave the fairy-tale charm of the historical centre behind and get to know a completely different, constantly changing face of Prague. The route is largely flat, with the exception of the climb to the Vítkov Memorial. At the end of the 20th century, Karlín was still a shabby industrial district of no particular interest to visitors. After the catastrophic floods of 2002, Karlín underwent a rebirth. In place of damaged buildings, new, ambitious, high-quality structures went up, bringing with them new life. Today, it’s a fashionab

This walk is quite undemanding but offers a surprising variety of terrain and architecture.

"La Dolce Vita"This easy walk is ideal for aesthetes and those who enjoy the finer things in life. It leads through an elegant part of Prague located on hilly terrain east of the historical centre. Vinohrady got its name from the vineyards that Emperor Charles IV ordered to be planted here in the 14th century (one of which you will visit). Elaborate façades, tree-lined streets, picturesque parks with city views, and an idyllic atmosphere ever so slightly reminiscent of Paris make this an area that the cream of Prague society have always favoured. Today, this cosmopolit
