Prague New City Tour

Service Description

Prague’s New Town has a deep-rooted history, rather than the innovation its name suggests. Founded in the 14th century by King Charles IV, this district has accumulated layers of architectural styles and historical transformations over the centuries. The New Town, which has been the scene of important events that shaped the Czech national identity, is full of historical traces, from the Velvet Revolution’s call for freedom to the assassination of Reinhard, from Jan Palach’s courageous resistance to the Russian occupation. With its architectural and cultural riches ranging from Gothic towers to cubist lamps, from Neo-Renaissance theaters to striking examples of modern architecture and art, we discover many fascinating points in Prague’s New Town, such as the modernist design of the Dancing Building, the dramatic history of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church, the national importance of Narodni Divadlo, David Černý’s Kafka statue and the world’s rarest cubist lamp. While feeling the historical texture of Václavské Náměstí, we learn the stories of the hanging horse statue of Lucerna Arcade. We discover the elegant Art Nouveau architecture of Obecní Dům, the Gothic Powder Tower and Republic Avenue together. Let's tour this dynamic area of Prague together to get to know it with a pleasant discovery ranging from architecture to art and history! Book your place now!
