Spring season is officially here, which means that now is the perfect time to explore Prague! ☀️ In March and April, we’re taking you to the districts of Malá Strana, Strahov, and Michle. We’re also working on more English tours as well as our very first tours in French. 😉 Stay tuned, and in the meantime – Happy Easter!
Love Stories From Malá Strana
Writer Marcia Davenport, politician Madeleine Albright, art collector Meda Mládková, first lady Charlotte Garrigue Masaryk, actress Shirley Temple Black or the millionaire couple Alfred & Martha Stern – the lives of all of these important figures were once tied to Malá Strana (also called Lesser Town in English), one of the oldest parts of Prague where the American and Czech worlds have collided in the past. Join us on Sunday, March 30 at 2.30 p.m. and hear stories of romantic relationships from the turbulent 20th century!
Prague’s Iconic Stadium
With a capacity of 250,000 people, the Great Strahov Stadium truly is one of the biggest venues of its kind in the world. This colossal monument has hosted Sokol rallies, huge mass gymnastics events, and even concerts of music legends. Today it is used by AC Sparta Praha for football practice, but there have been signs that the stadium might transform into a modern center of technology in the future… Learn more about the fascinating history of this giant and enjoy beautiful views of the stadium from the stands! The tour takes place Saturday, April 12 at 1 p.m.
A One-of-a-Kind Water Tower
A gem of industrial architecture that combines elements of modernism with geometric Art Nouveau, the water tower in Michle has stood for nearly 120 years. Designed by eminent Czech architect Jan Kotěra, the tower has been renovated recently and is now open to visit. On Sunday, April 20 at 2.30 p.m., we’ll take you to the top of this 42-meter high monument as well as into the underground water tank and machine room. We’ll talk about the history of the waterworks as well as its technological and architectural peculiarities. A must-see for fans of unique industrial architecture!
