This walk is designed especially for you if you are spending only a day or two in Prague. In one afternoon you will criss-cross the Medieval center of the city, taking you along the King′s Coronation Way, recapping the most important historical events, while briefly introducing the basic architectural styles Prague has to offer from its thousand-year history. A quick visit to the former Jewish Ghetto, one of the largest in Europe, will give you a chance to peek into its ancient cemetery and synagogues, as well as to hear something from its fascinating history, traditions and legends. Following in Franz Kafka′s footsteps, you will cross over The Charles Bridge, one of Europe′s oldest stone bridges. A short tram ride up the hill will take you to The Strahov Monastery, where a spectacular vista of the whole city opens up below you. We will then walk downhill, passing the pilgrim site of Loretta, on through the medieval town of Hradcany, and come to Prague Castle, the largest castle complex in Europe. Here you can admire the place where the monarchs used to be crowned at St. Vitus Cathedral. Finally, you will take a walk through The Golden Lane - home of alchemists, goldsmiths, and for a time of Kafka and at last descend the 101 steps of The Old Castle Stairs back into the city.
