• Visit Prague’s two main squares: Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square.
• Get to know two of the most famous figures in Czech history: Charles IV and Jan Hus.
• Discover modern architecture, Renaissance buildings, Romanesque houses, and even a real Romanesque cellar that I’ll take you into! And, of course, admire the historic houses of Old Town Square.
• Stroll through Prague’s old, narrow streets — and perhaps even get a little lost along the way. We’ll also visit the narrowest street in Prague, where you’ll make your way through with the help of a traffic light!
• Learn about Prague’s three different house-numbering systems.
• Step inside some of Prague’s famous historic cafés, once popular gathering places for the city’s bohemian crowd and other notable personalities of the 20th century.
