Half Day in Mala Strana, Old Town, and the Jewish Quarter

Explore historic neighborhoods of Prague on this half-day tour to deepen your understanding of the city’s historical, geographic, and cultural foundations.

Plan to spend a short amount of time to ascend the tower of the Prague Astronomical Clock in Old Town. All other stops are designed to be experienced from the outside, with only very brief interior visits where appropriate.

For a deeper understanding of Prague, spend some time at Prague Castle either before or after this tour.

Requirements for respectful/modest attire apply at churches, synagogues, and other religious sites. Visitors should check dress codes before visiting. Avoid visiting during prayer times or other services.

Use the associated audioguides when visiting the following locations:

  • St. Nicholas Church: A Baroque landmark anchoring Malá Strana, with a grand dome
  • John Lennon Wall: a colorful and ever-changing symbol of peace and artistic expression
  • Kampa Island: A small riverside enclave with mill streams, parkland, and views of the water and the city’s bridges
