Why join a Free Walking Tour in Prague with GuruWalk?

Prague feels like a work of Gothic storytelling brought to life: pastel façades glinting at dawn, the Vltava reflecting stone bridges, and a winding maze of medieval lanes humming with café chatter. A free walking tour in Prague with GuruWalk lets you dive straight into that magic. Local guides—many born within sight of the Astronomical Clock—turn cobblestones into time machines, sharing legends of kings, alchemists and revolutionaries as you wander. No tickets or turnstiles, just authentic stories and flexible “tip‑what‑you‑feel” pricing so you decide the tour’s worth when the last tale is told.

What to see in Prague on foot

Your walk begins in Old Town Square, where the 600‑year‑old Astronomical Clock still chimes on the hour and pastel Gothic façades frame every photo. From there we trace the royal coronation route down Celetná Street, pausing under the black spires of the Powder Tower before threading into the quiet courtyards of the Jewish Quarter. Stories of Golem myths and resilience mingle with the scent of fresh trdelník as we reach the Vltava and step onto the storybook arches of Charles Bridge.

Crossing to the Lesser Town we catch postcard views of red‑tiled roofs climbing toward Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral. Along the way your guide reveals hidden sculptures, wartime legends and tips on where locals find the best svíčková and pilsner. If you’re wondering what to see in Prague on a walking tour, this route stitches together the city’s must‑see icons with corners most visitors miss, all in a relaxed two‑to‑three‑hour stroll.

Pick the Prague tour that fits your style

GuruWalk’s line‑up in Prague goes far beyond a single route. Early risers can join the Essential Old Town & Jewish Quarter walk to watch the Astronomical Clock strike nine without the crowds. History buffs might prefer the Prague Castle District circuit—Strahov Monastery, Golden Lane and sweeping views across the Vltava. Craving something different after dark? The Legends & Beer Night Tour pairs eerie tales with a pint of local lager under gas‑lit streets. And if you’re curious about modern history, the New Town & Communist Era route traces student protests and Velvet Revolution hotspots.

Most walks run in English and Spanish, with morning, afternoon or evening departures so you can slot a tour between café breakfasts or river‑cruise sunsets. Group sizes stay small enough for questions and photos, and every guide brings their own flavour—some focus on architecture, others on street legends or food tips—so you can choose the experience that matches your mood.
