Prague needs time to reveal its secrets. This city is a web of streets, stories, thoughts, and anecdotes. For five days, we explore this fascinating web during our journey.
“Prague simply does not let us go – neither you nor me. This city is like a maternal force with claws. One must submit or –. If we were to set it on fire in two places, at Vyšehrad and at the Hradschin, we might have a chance to escape. Perhaps by Carnival you will think about it once more.” Franz Kafka to Oskar Pollak
When we say “Prague,” many people believe they know everything about it... almost everyone has already been there... everyone remembers the enchanting alleys of Prague Castle and the crowds on Charles Bridge. But can the history of this city and its residents be retold in an exciting and insightful way? Our journey takes on exactly this challenge. The program takes you to all of Prague’s must-see highlights... but also shows places and people who tell their very personal stories on site... stories of the city... real life stories. We warmly invite you to the cultural trip “Golden Prague”: Prague Castle (Hradschin), Lesser Town (Mala Strana), Old Town, Josefov, Terezín.
