A lantern swings as the group files into a narrow lane off Old Town Square; cobbles shine underfoot and the Astronomical Clock’s face fades behind the slate roofs. The guide, in period costume, lowers their voice and the city’s familiar hum gives way to footsteps and stories—headless brides, betrayed princes, and a clay guardian that once roamed the ghetto.

Arrive early
Plan to be at the meeting point 10–15 minutes before the start; once the tour departs rejoining is not guaranteed.
Wear sturdy shoes
Cobblestones, stairs and uneven cellars require solid, closed-toe footwear to move comfortably and safely.
Prepare for tight spaces
The dungeon and some underground sections are narrow and dim—avoid if you have severe claustrophobia or mobility issues.
Mobile ticket & ID
Have your mobile ticket and a photo ID ready; small groups fill quickly and tickets are checked at the meeting point.
Comfortable walking shoes
Support and grip for cobbles and stairs in both outdoor lanes and underground passages.
Light jacket or layers
Cellars and dungeons can be noticeably cooler than street level, even in summer evenings.

Mobile phone with ticket
Tickets are mobile-friendly and often checked at the meeting point; keep it charged.
