The morning light picks out sandstone and gothic spires as the group moves from the cobbled alleys of Old Town toward the river. Prague’s stones have a patient memory: market stalls that once surrounded the Astronomical Clock give way to the quiet hum of the Vltava, which seems to tug visitors toward the bridges and the slow-moving boats below.

Comfortable shoes
Cobbled streets and occasional steps make low-ankle, grippy shoes essential for comfort and safety during the walk.

Secure valuables
Keep bags zipped and cameras on straps in crowded squares and when boarding the boat to avoid snags or drops.
