That’s where our local storytellers come in.
They don’t just point out the main sights – they bring Prague’s past to life, taking you beyond the guidebook to places and tales known only to insiders. Follow the footsteps of alchemists and kings, explore the city’s dark legends, or uncover memories of the 20th century. Your Prague walking adventure begins here. Not sure where to start?

People often confuse between public and private tours. Here is a comparsion of the two.
Walking lets you experience Prague in a way no bus or car ever could. The narrow lanes of the Old Town, the quiet courtyards, the scent of coffee from hidden cafés; these details pass too quickly unless you slow down and wander.
Our Prague walking tours invite you to do exactly that. You’ll move at the city’s pace, guided by someone who knows every corner and story. From medieval lanes and Gothic spires to street art and local legends, each step brings something new.
Walking connects you to the rhythm of the city, to the sounds, faces, and atmosphere that make Prague unforgettable. Every route shows you a different side of the Czech capital: its beauty, its mysteries, and the lives that shaped it.

Exploring Prague on foot is one of the best ways to discover its charm – from medieval streets to lively squares. A bit of preparation can make your experience even smoother and more enjoyable.
Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. Many Prague streets are paved with cobblestones, so high heels or thin soles can make the walk uncomfortable. Dress for the season, summers can be warm, while winters may bring snow and ice, especially on old stone paths. The coldest months are usually January and February.
Most walking tours are easy to moderate, but some include uneven surfaces, stairs, or steep lanes. While many routes are accessible, not all are suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. If you need assistance, let your guide know in advance.
Prague boasts one of the world’s best public transportation systems. The metro, trams, and buses are clean, reliable, and run frequently throughout the day and night.
Use the PID Lítačka app (iOS/Android) to buy metro, tram, or bus tickets right on your phone, and check schedules through the IDOS app (iOS/Android). If you prefer a paper ticket, you can easily purchase ticket at ticket machines located in all metro stations, most of which accept both cash and cards.
One ticket is valid across all types of public transport – metro, tram, and bus – and can also be used for transfers within the time limit printed on the ticket. Don’t forget to validate your ticket before or immediately after boarding, either in the app or in the yellow validators inside trams, buses, and at metro entrances.
For short rides, apps like Bolt (iOS/Android), Uber, or Liftago (iOS/Android) are reliable alternatives to taxis, as you’ll always know the price upfront. Avoid street taxis without a clear price list or meter.
Prague is generally safe, but as in any big city, watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas. Avoid exchanging money on the street. If you need cash, withdraw only from ATMs operated by major Czech banks (like Česká spořitelna or Raiffeisenbank), not Euronet. You can pay by card almost everywhere, there’s usually no need to carry large amounts of cash. Be polite when visiting churches and historical sites, and be cautious of anyone offering “free gifts” or unsolicited photos; these are often scams.
Tipping in restaurants is usually modest. It’s common to round up the bill – for example, from 234 CZK to 250 CZK, but the tipping generally depends on your satisfaction with the service. If the staff were friendly and attentive, they’ll always appreciate a higher tip. The same applies to local guides: while tipping is never required, it’s a kind and welcome gesture that shows you enjoyed the experience.
Taking a few minutes to prepare can help you explore Prague with confidence and comfort. Once you’re ready, all that’s left is to enjoy the walk – and let the city reveal its stories step by step.
