Walking Tour: Prague Castle, Lesser Town & Charles Bridge
Come see the glamorous, palatial settings of Prague Castle, and then descend with us to the mystical Lesser Town, the real soul of Prague - and then the Bridge: the symbol of the city, and a beguiling example of Medieval architecture.
Tour description
We start with a panoramic view of the city, before immersing ourselves in the Imperial history of Prague. Get to know Prague from where it all started. The Castle of the genesis of the city, filled with anecdotes, rumours, gossip, myths and legends - but also the end of the story. The Castle the seat of presidential power.
From here, we descend into the murky, grim, fascinating, creepy, but, above all, beautiful Lesser Town. This is the seductive face of the city - the piece where you can get behind the facades of the tourist traps, the souvenir shops and the dreaded trdelník. It is a special feeling in the Lesser Town.
And finally the Bridge. Charles Bridge is justly celebrated as a jewel preserved from the Middle Ages. But there is more to this monumental architectural achievement than immediately meets the eye. Discover it with us.

I love this job, because I get to meet people and hear different stories - and I get to speak about something I'm passionate about: Prague. And I get to work outside. Ideal.
Lucas is a Colombian-born architect educated in Paris who has lived in Prague for more than a decade. An avid traveler, he can give a clear-sighted view on how the city has changed, on top of the history, the myths, the legends. Witty and loquacious (he speaks French, English, Spanish and Czech), you get more than you expect with Lucas.

Pragolem was born from the idea of the Golem constantly wandering through the city, watching over it and acting as its guardian. After all, he was Prague’s original 16th-century superhero. I see my work in much the same way: as a storyteller walking the streets of Prague, bringing its history, characters and stories to life, while sharing my love and knowledge of this beautiful city. If that’s what I get to do for a living, I can hardly imagine a better job.
