Prague is a city rich in literature and history, one whose many stories are nestled together side by side. Located directly in the centre of Europe, Prague has been an intersection for so many years of the various competing forces of history, which have given the city the unique character we see today.
The city’s strange mix of beauty and brutality has served as inspiration for creative individuals, and Prague now boasts a rich literary and artistic heritage, which reflects the complex history of this tragic yet lyrical space.
This walking tour will take you to some of the highlights of this city’s historical and literary spots. It starts in the New Town and works its way to the centre, dropping you off not far from Old Town Square.
Follow in the footsteps of Kundera / Hrabal / Kafka / K.H. Mácha, visit the crypt where the Heydrich assassins were found, and learn why so many historical Prague citizens were thrown out of windows, not usually by their own choice.
