PragueWay Tours’ Historic Old Town & Underground Walk

Prague’s Old Town stands as a vibrant crossroads of history, hidden stories, and architectural marvels. With PragueWay Tours, adventurers set out on a focused walking journey through this UNESCO-listed district, uncovering its layered past alongside skilled guides deeply rooted in the city’s culture. The experience begins with a stroll across Charles Bridge, a medieval masterpiece that offers sweeping views of the Vltava River and the city’s Gothic spires. From here, the tour threads through labyrinthine streets of the Old Town and the adjacent Jewish Quarter, areas rich with centuries-old synagogues, narrow alleys, and cobblestone squares.

What sets this outing apart is the descent beneath the surface—literally. Guests gain rare access to a 12th-century underground chamber located beneath Old Town Square, one of Prague’s few visitable medieval cellar complexes. This subterranean passage reveals facets of the city’s defensive and civic past unseen by most visitors, reinforced by the historic halls above ground inside the Old Town Hall.

No visit would be complete without witnessing Prague’s legendary Astronomical Clock, the world’s oldest still-working orloj, famed for its intricate mechanical procession and symbolic astronomical functions. Throughout the 3 to 3.5-hour tour, guides weave together stories of Prague’s dark medieval history, tales of public executions, and intriguing legends—such as the clock master’s mysterious fate and the numerological secrets of the city’s architecture.

PragueWay Tours distinguishes itself by limiting group size to maintain an intimate atmosphere, using English-speaking local guides, and combining surface exploration with exclusive underground access. This blend gives travelers a layered understanding of Prague’s urban fabric, connecting architectural landmarks with the human stories beneath. It’s a memorable, educational adventure for anyone keen on history, urban culture, and uniquely immersive experiences in one of Europe’s most captivating cities.
