Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour of Prague's Historic Sights

There is no doubt that this emblem of national renewal, also called “the golden chapel”, is so easy to find. In neo-Renaissance style, with its famous golden roof, the charming building is the official scene of the Czech Republic.

Elegantly separating the Czech capital, the Vltava is much more than the longest river in the country.

A link between the Old Town and the Malá Strana district, the Charles Bridge is unanimously the star of Prague. Unpretentious in particular, of course!

With its false air of the Berlin Wall, John Lennon's wall, which is still standing, is a must in Prague. Neither an official monument, nor a particular place of memory, its origins are however not devoid of meaning.

You are convinced that this tower with an arch has already had its moment of glory in our itinerary of visit. Well, let us tell you that you are not completely wrong.

The Saint-Nicolas Church, not to be confused with the one of the same name located in the Old Town, is an unmissable artistic masterpiece that you can see in part extending in height.

In Prague, the madness of grandeur is a common characteristic. And buildings are the best example of this.

A plump figure, a three-piece suit, a bowler hat, a cigar in your mouth, and even fingers spread in a V-shape as a sign of victory, that's approximately how we all portray Winston Churchill.

To get to Prague Castle, located on the heights of the Malá Strana district, it did not escape you, you have to walk. Or more appropriately, climbing.

At the simple mention of the word castle, you imagine a feudal residence, defended by ramparts, very often installed high up to better see the enemy arrive. Well that, how to say, was before you came to the Czech capital.

A spiritual symbol of the Czech State, Saint Vitus Cathedral welcomes you with presence. Known to this day as the largest religious monument in the country, its construction was the subject of a huge and interminable project.

Admit that such colorful religious buildings are not common in the streets. You should know that Saint George's Basilica, founded in 920, is one of the oldest preserved places of worship in Prague.

Visiting Prague by going to the mythical Golden Alley is concretely ensuring a flawless tourist experience.

A cathedral, a basilica, a few houses, count down, you don't have the impression that a visit to Prague Castle is incomplete. I can confirm that something is missing. Something very important even.

If by chance, you are confronted with visitors, nose up and camera in hand, one piece of advice, try to follow their eyes. Without knowing it, they're showing you one of the must-know attractions on our sightseeing itinerary.

Located very close to the undisputed Prague Castle, the Schwarzenberg Palace is no less interesting. At first glance, you can quickly distinguish this robust and imposing silhouette.

You may or may not have noticed it already, but the city of Prague is a huge concentration of palaces, each more elegant than the last.

A major pilgrimage site in the Czech Republic, the sanctuary of Our Lady of Lorette is this beautiful white Baroque building.

On the outskirts of the Černin Palace, the surprise effect is instantaneous. Since its construction, between the end of the 17th century and the Baroque period, it has been responsible for the title of the most monumental facade in Prague.

As placed on this small square, the Strahov Monastery has occupied the same location since 1140. It was founded by the Premonstratensians, a Catholic order of Canons formed over 900 years ago.

When we go on vacation, we are basically all looking for the same thing. Less stress, less fatigue and more time to recharge our batteries and do activities that we enjoy.

After these good strides, you are at the foot of the Petřín Tower. No friends, you are not hallucinating.

Not very high at an altitude of 327 meters, Petřín Hill still manages to dominate the landscape.

More than just a means of transport in Prague, the Petřín funicular has the merit of reserving a real page of history for us.

Located in the former Sova hydraulic mills, the Kampa Museum reflects contemporary elegance and simplicity.

You may not have known it, but in its configuration, the Czech capital is home to a dozen islands. And it is in the heart of its city center that the largest and most famous of them floats.

To stand in this square is to be in the heart of Malá Strana. Founded in 1257, it is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Prague.

Historic, legendary, romantic, Prague has the ability to be a thousand and one things at the same time to transport those who discover it properly.
