Morning light slants across cobblestones as your private guide leads you from a lively Old Town Square toward the river. The astronomical clock ticks its centuries-long cadence while the Vltava pushes the city forward beneath the arches of Charles Bridge. You move through neighborhoods where stonework and spires change the rhythm of the walk: the narrow lanes of the Jewish Quarter, the steep, Gothic face of Malá Strana, and finally the broad forecourt of Prague Castle.
