You step off a tram and the city opens in tiers: narrow cobbled lanes, a bell calling from a spire, the Vltava daring you across its bridges. This two-hour walk threads the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, a compact route where layers of Prague’s past press against the present — merchants’ houses, guild marks above doorways, and synagogue facades that hold difficult stories.
