You begin at Prague Castle as the city stretches below you — copper roofs sweating in the morning light, the Vltava threading through stone. The guide leads you through Matthias Gate into courtyards where alchemists once chased immortality and symbols hide in plain sight. Walks like this feel like following a stitched thread through history: crenellated walls, gargoyles that leer from St. Vitus Cathedral, and the hush of a Baroque garden where peacocks strut like living emblems.
