Free tour - Prague's mysteries: from Christian alchemy to Jewish mysticism (Prague Castle to Jewish Quarter)
Tour description
Step into a lesser-known Prague, where kings summoned alchemists, symbols whisper from medieval walls, and mystics shaped the city’s soul. This tour traces a path from the secretive world of Rudolf II’s court at Prague Castle, through baroque and Gothic landmarks like Charles bridge charged with astrological and hermetic meaning, and into the heart of the Jewish Quarter, where kabbalistic thought flourished under the Maharal of Prague. From John Dee and Edward Kelley’s celestial experiments to the enduring legend of the Golem, the journey explores how Prague became a unique crossroads of esoteric knowledge, sacred architecture, and enduring myth. Designed for curious minds, this is not a ghost tour nor a fantasy tale—but a historically grounded walk through the city’s symbolic past.
