Itinerary
We begin at the Estate Theatre
The green and white theatre where Mozart stood on stage and conducted Don Giovanni for the first time anyone on earth heard it. The same building later played itself in the film Amadeus.
Through the Old Town
We wander into Havel's Market, selling on the same corner for 700 years, past the Gothic House at the Stone Bell, and into Old Town Square. Here we meet Jan Hus, the reformer burned at the stake a century before Luther, the 27 white crosses of the nobles executed in a single morning, the Astronomical Clock with its dark legend, and the fairy-tale towers of the Týn Church.
Into the Jewish Quarter
We cross into Josefov, one of the oldest Jewish quarters in Europe. The Maisel Synagogue at its heart, the old cemetery layered twelve graves deep, the Old-New Synagogue where the Golem is said to still wait in the attic, and the breathtaking Moorish interior of the Spanish Synagogue.
We finish at the Kafka Monument
A strange and brilliant bronze of Prague's most famous writer, a fitting last word for a city that never stops surprising you.
