Morning light catches the Gothic spires above Old Town Square as a small group gathers by the Cartier shop on the corner of Pařížská and Dlouhá. Guides unfurl maps and the city’s stones start talking: the Astronomical Clock’s hourly procession, the squat angles of a cubist facade, and the hush of a Jewish cemetery squeezed between narrow lanes. This is a walking tour that moves at the rhythm of the city—measured, story-driven, and deliberately close to the ground.
