Itinerary

Stop 1

Stand inside Prague Castle's Old Royal Palace and discover the window where the Second Defenestration of Prague ignited the Thirty Years' War. Find the commemorative plaque, relive the tension between Bohemian Protestants and Catholic Habsburgs, and see how one dramatic act changed European history forever.

Stop 2

Walk the historic Thunovská Street, where secret meetings after the 1618 Defenestration of Prague set off the Bohemian Revolt and the Thirty Years' War. Discover hidden courtyards, noble crests, and the architectural legacy of Prague's most dramatic turning point.

Stop 3

Discover the Wallenstein Palace Gardens: a Baroque oasis in central Prague, commissioned by the legendary general Albrecht von Wallenstein after the Thirty Years' War. Explore lush lawns, mythological statues, and roaming peacocks in a setting steeped in history and artistry. Capture a photo that reflects the garden's unique blend of power, beauty, and tranquility.

Stop 4

Discover the Baroque splendor of St. Nicholas Church in Prague's Lesser Town. Once a Protestant stronghold, it became a Jesuit masterpiece after 1620. Capture its grand façade and explore how art and architecture reflect centuries of religious and political change.

Stop 5

Sprint across the iconic Charles Bridge, reliving the drama of 1648 as Swedish and Catholic forces clashed for control. Spot historic statues along your route and immerse yourself in six centuries of Prague's history.

Stop 6

Explore the historic Karolinum, the seat of Charles University since 1348. Discover plaques and inscriptions revealing the aftermath of the 1620 purge, when Protestant scholars were expelled, reshaping Prague's academic and cultural landscape. A journey into the heart of European intellectual history.

Stop 7

Stand on Prague's Old Town Square where, in 1621, 27 leaders of the Bohemian Revolt were executed. Find the 27 white crosses and read the bronze plaque honoring their memory—an essential chapter in Czech history.
