You step from cobblestone into a chorus of church bells and tram clicks — the Old Town unfolds in layered chapters: Gothic spires, baroque facades and the river that keeps the city moving. The guide leads you through Old Town Square beneath the Astronomical Clock, across Charles Bridge where stone saints seem to watch the current dare you, then along the Jewish Quarter’s narrow lanes to the Vltava, whose slow sweep promises a 45-minute perspective from water level.
