You step out of a narrow lane into Old Town Square and the city exhales — bells, tourists, the Vltava snaking silver below. This self-guided audio walk traces routes from a modern thriller: cobbled alleys, the shadowed stones of the Old Jewish Cemetery, the baroque facades by the river and the steep approach to Petřín Hill. It feels cinematic without a director.

Download the audio and maps
Ensure the SmartGuide app and offline maps are downloaded before you leave to avoid data gaps in tunnels and crowded areas.
