Some people visit Prague. Others actually experience it.
Walk through the Old Town with a local guitarist who plays the songs this city was built on — live, in the streets, at the exact spots where they were written, banned, and sung in defiance. No lecture. No headset. Just music, stories, and a city that sounds like nowhere else.

1Theatre Des Etats
One of the best-preserved opera houses in Europe, unchanged since Mozart stood on its stage. Marek tells the story of how Prague and Mozart fell for each other — and why Vienna never quite forgave the city for it.
10 minutes • Admission ticket not included -
2Staromestske namesti
The beating heart of Prague, and the place where Smetana founded his music school in the 1840s. This is where the Czech National Revival took shape — a movement that used music, language, and art to keep a nation alive under foreign rule. You'll hear Smetana's Vltava here, the piece that became the sound of Czech identity itself.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Rudolfinum
Home of the Czech Philharmonic, and the stage where Dvořák conducted world premieres. We stop outside to hear how a butcher's son from a small Bohemian village became one of the most celebrated composers in history — and what he left behind in Prague. His New World Symphony plays here, where it belongs.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Charles Bridge
Six hundred years old, lined with baroque saints, stretching across the Vltava. Here Marek plays Bratříčku zavírej vrátka — Karel Kryl's song written the night Soviet tanks rolled into Prague in 1968. One guitar, one bridge, one song that said everything a nation wasn't allowed to say out loud
15 minutes • Admission ticket free -
5The John Lennon Wall
In 1980, the night after John Lennon was shot, Praguers came here in the dark to paint his face on the wall and write song lyrics in the stone — while Communist secret police watched from across the square. Marek plays Lennon here. And then Modlitba pro Martu — the song broadcast on Czechoslovak radio the night the Soviet tanks arrived in 1968, and played again twenty years later when the Velvet Revolution finally succeeded. The tour ends here, with the two songs that bookend the most important chapter in Czech modern history.
