Prague Highlights in 90 Min: Old Town, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle View + Local's Map
You've just arrived in Prague, and the city is enormous. Where do you eat? Where do locals actually go? Most travellers figure this out by day four - when half the trip is over. This 90-minute private walk solves that on day one. We'll cover the most iconic sights — Old Town, the Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge with the postcard view of Prague Castle - and you'll leave with a hand-marked map showing where to eat, drink, & explore for the rest of your stay. Licensed guide, 17 years experience.

Meeting Point
Na Příkopě 864/28, 110 00 Nové Město
- We meet at the main entrance of the Czech National Bank (Česká národní banka) — a large grey building directly opposite the Gothic Powder Tower (Prašná brána). The Powder Tower is the tallest medieval gateway in this part of the city, you can't miss it. I'll be waiting at the bank entrance with a "Prague Highlights" sign. Please arrive 5 minutes early so we can start on time.
Powder Tower
The 500-year-old Gothic gateway where Czech kings began their coronation route to Prague Castle. We start here and I'll tell you the story of how the medieval royal road shaped the entire layout of the Old Town.
Old Town Hidden Lanes
We slip off the main tourist route into medieval alleys, quiet courtyards, and small squares most visitors walk straight past. Every corner here has a story — and a view you won't see in any guidebook.
Your Personal Prague Map
We stop at the tourist info centre to pick up a free city map. I'll mark every must-see, the best Czech restaurants (including one where my own family eats), local pubs, hidden viewpoints, and the neighbourhoods worth your time. This map becomes your personal guide to Prague for the rest of your trip.
Old Town Square & the Astronomical Clock
The heart of Prague — Gothic spires of Týn Cathedral, Baroque facades, and the legendary Orloj, the oldest working astronomical clock in the world. We'll watch the hourly show and I'll tell you the chilling story of the master who built it (and what the people of Prague did to make sure he could never build another).
Karlova Street
One of Prague's most beautiful medieval streets and a key part of the historic royal route. I'll tell you when to come back to enjoy it without the crowds.
Charles Bridge & Prague Castle View
We finish on the most iconic bridge in Central Europe — 650 years old, 30 statues, and the postcard view of Prague Castle rising above the Vltava. You'll touch the bronze plaque of Saint John of Nepomuk and make your most important wish. The perfect ending to your first 90 minutes in Prague.

I offer private tours only — just your group, no strangers, no rushing through landmarks with thirty other tourists. Whether you have three hours or three days, every tour I create is built around what fascinates YOU: history, architecture, food, photography, hidden corners, mystical legends, or simply the pleasure of walking through one of Europe's most beautiful cities with someone who truly knows it.
What I offer:
- Classic walking tours of Old Town, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, the Jewish Quarter
- Hidden Prague — medieval cellars, secret passages, alchemy, ghosts and legends
- Day trips from Prague to fairy-tale castles and UNESCO towns: Český Krumlov, Karlštejn, Kutná Hora, Karlovy Vary, Terezín, and more

About me: I'm certified by the Czech Ministry of Education (top category — the highest qualification level for guides in the Czech Republic), a member of the Prague and Czech Guides Association, and I'm fluent in English, Russian, and Czech.
What makes my tours different? I don't read from a script. I read the people in front of me. If you're a history buff, we'll go deep. If you're traveling with kids, we'll find the dragon hiding inside the Astronomical Clock. If you only have one day in Prague, I'll show you the city's soul — not just its surface.
Send me a message and tell me what you're hoping to see — I'll design a tour that fits your interests, your pace, and your time.
See you in Prague!
