Pay a visit to one of the most spectacular underground areas in central Europe!

Prague is one of the most popular tourist destinations, famous for its fascinating architecture (and much more). When walking the streets of Prague you will feel surrounded by the past everywhere you go. What most tourist (and locals, too!) forget is that like every other city, Prague has its secret places which are not easily revealed.

Under the aristocrat´s houses and palaces of nobilities a whole complex of underground cellars, rooms and labyrinth-like corridors can be found. There lies a city within the city and together we will explore the area of the Old Town. Many times rebuilt, long forgotten and again discovered, these historical undergrounds teach us about the past and give us a picture of the life of a medieval city in the 11th and 12th centuries.

Highlights:

Visit the Old City undergrounds in the Old Town from the 12th & 13th centuries (and even older)
Walk through the hidden rooms, corridors and cellars up to 2 floors beneath the ground
Learn about 1000 years of history of the Old Town and listen to stories from the ancient times of Prague

Old Town City Hall

is world famous for unique medieval Astronomical Clock decorating its front side. You can see a parade of 12 apostles appearing every hour in the windows.

Church of Our Lady before Týn

dates back to 14th century. It is the Prague´s second most important church. Combination of Gothic style with Baroque decoration in the church interior is just breathtaking! Walt Disney is said to draw the Sleeping Beauty Castle as he was inspired by the Týn Church towers.

The House at the Stone Bell

is an ancient Gothic palace which goes back to 13th century. It was probably built for the royal family, and it is said that Emperor Charles IV was born here.

The Kinský Palace

belongs to the most beautiful Rococo buildings in Prague. Franz Kafka used to attend the German speaking high school located here in 19th century. Today, the Kinský palace is a seat of the National Gallery.

Jan Hus monument

The monument of Jan Hus, famous Czech protestant reformer who was burnt as a heretic in 1415, is situated on the Old Town Square since 1915. Since the middle ages, the Old Town Square used to be the main Prague´s square and market place where exotic goods were sold. It had many names during the centuries: the Big Square, the Old Market or the Large Old Town Square.

The present name comes from the end of the 19th century. The Square used to host knight tournaments, celebrations, artistic events, etc. It witnessed many crucial historical events such as the election of Jiří of Poděbrady as the King of Bohemia in 1458, executions and fightings. Demonstrations, marches and parades take place on the Square even today.
