Overview

This walk starts in front of the Rudolfinum on náměstí Jana Palacha and covers the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter in two hours and thirty minutes, run by a GuruWalk guide. The route has twelve stops, of which the first three are the Rudolfinum, Old Town Square and the Jan Hus monument. The guide waits at the meeting point with white and light blue umbrellas.

The tour runs in both English and Spanish, and the GuruWalk page states the guides are native English speakers. Along the way the description names the Astronomical Clock, Charles University, the Estates Theatre, the Powder Tower, the Kafka statue, the Old Jewish Cemetery and the Old-New Synagogue as points of interest.

Booking is free on GuruWalk and guests pay the guide what they think the walk was worth at the end. The GuruWalk page notes the walk is accessible by stroller or wheelchair, and that children and pets are welcome. One practical condition to know before reserving: the tour only takes place with a minimum of four participants, so a reservation is worth confirming on the guide's GuruWalk page beforehand.
