3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 6 more

Uncover the layers of Prague’s history, legends, and quirky surprises at your own pace with this self-guided walking tour through the Old Town and Castle district. Along the way, hear about the famous Golem and a chilling tale of Faust’s house, marvel at iconic sights like the Astronomical Clock, where medieval fears come to life on the hour, and stroll across Charles Bridge as you learn the fascinating legends behind its statues—including a saint thrown into the river for keeping a secret.

Beyond the classics, you’ll also discover modern public art, like a rotating mirrored head of Franz Kafka and a surreal statue of Sigmund Freud dangling by one hand. The tour includes an overview of the Prague Castle complex from the outside, and you can choose to experience it all at once or split it into two parts. Ideal for first-time visitors who want flexibility, depth, and a little magic with their history.
