Slow Walk: Locals' Old Town
Three hours through hidden courtyards and the Old Town as Praguers actually use it — with a coffee stop along the way.
We swap the tourist trail for the courtyards, passages and quiet corners that even returning visitors miss. Layers of medieval, baroque, communist and present-day Prague meet in three hours of unhurried walking, with a coffee stop at a café locals actually go to.

What if it rains?+
We walk in light rain — Prague looks better in it. In storms we reschedule for free.
Can kids come?+
Yes from age 8 with caveats. For smaller kids see the Family Walk.
Why Prague's café culture differs from Vienna's or Paris's — four cafés, a century of history, tasting along the way.
Contemporary Prague — DOX, Vnitroblock, Holešovice galleries and the small spaces shaping today's city.
Designed with kids in mind — playgrounds, snacks, dragons in churches, and small rituals of growing up here.
