Offered in: English

Follow the course of a 16th-century engineering marvel in the center of Prague, Czech Republic. We will start at the Vltava river and cross a hill with one of the most breathtaking views on that beautiful city. Every now and then, you will discover hidden signs of the tunnel below your feet.

You will find a beer garden, Europe's oldest wooden carousel, the place where the first Czech electric tramway was launched and streets full of cafés and garden restaurants. You'll learn where the world's largest Stalin statue was located and why many buildings on our way had to be reinforced with wooden beams. The tours finishes in Stromovka, Prague's most beautiful park.

The tour plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline. Start the tour in the app, put your phone in your pocket, and let me direct you along the way.
