The route, as you'll walk it

What each stop teases here, the narrator tells in full in your ear. Hover a stop to place it on the plan.

  1. 01

    Old Town Square

    The wide medieval heart of the old city — a cobbled plaza ringed by gothic and baroque facades, with a bronze memorial group at its centre.

  2. 02

    Church of Our Lady before Týn

    Two tall dark gothic towers crowned with clusters of pointed spires, rising behind a row of gabled townhouses on the square's eastern side.

  3. 03

    Prague Astronomical Clock

    A medieval astronomical dial set into the Old Town Hall tower — concentric rings of gold and blue, with carved figures standing to either side.

  4. 04

    Charles Bridge

    A long medieval stone bridge across the Vltava, lined with rows of weathered statues and guarded by a tall gothic gate-tower.

  5. 05

    Lennon Wall

    A quiet side-lane wall layered end to end with overlapping graffiti — swirling colour, lettering and faces, painted over and over.

  6. 06

    Vrtba Garden

    A steep baroque garden climbing the hillside behind a plain doorway — balustraded stairways, clipped hedges and stone statues, red rooftops below.

  7. 07

    Prague Castle

    A vast hilltop complex of palaces and walls above the city, its skyline pierced by the soaring spires of a great gothic cathedral.

  8. 08

    St Vitus Cathedral

    A towering gothic cathedral within the castle walls — twin spired towers, a huge circular rose window, and rows of pinnacled buttresses.

Full narration at every stop — and more if you ask for it. Nothing above is the story itself.

Questions about the Prague walk

How long is the Prague walk, and how far?

8 stops from Old Town Square to St Vitus Cathedral, about 2.8 km — about 2 hours at an easy pace, roughly 44 minutes of it actually walking between stops. Go slower or faster; the walk waits for you.

Do I need to book or start at a set time?

No. It's self-guided — no group, no guide, no fixed departure. Start the Prague walk whenever you like, from wherever you are on the route.

Can I pause the Prague walk and pick it up later?

Yes. Pause to linger or break for lunch and Trove remembers where you stopped, so you carry on from the same stop.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Trove runs in your phone's browser — nothing to install. Sign in, save the Prague walk, and each story plays as you reach the stop.

This walk is completely free.

Full narration at all 8 stops, no card required. If Prague wins you over, the great sites have their own tours from €2.99 — and the €12.99 City Pass unlocks everything.
