Best of · HISTORY WALKING TOURS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Good history walking tours in the Czech Republic fill up weeks ahead and the best ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and where they differ.
Spend two hours walking Brno’s old center with a guide such as Lukas, Luca, Robert, or Eliska. See the cathedral, Capuchin crypt, Vegetable Market, Old Town Hall, and St. James Church while hearing local legends, Moravian history, and seasonal market traditions.
“Really good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Would recommend the tour as it allowed us to orientate ourselves at the start of our stay.”
Follow a licensed plague doctor through Prague’s Old Town on a 90-minute walk covering the Clementinum, Old Town Square, Josefov, Na Františku Hospital, and St. Castulus Church. Expect stories about A. Schamsky, plague-era PPE, medicine, saints, and daily life, with English or Czech guiding.
“Tersea was a great guide. Very knowledge and friendly. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.”
Walk through central Prague with guides such as Allen, Daniel, Martin, or Richard, following Operation Anthropoid and the Czech resistance. Visit key wartime landmarks, see where the final battle took place, and end at the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius memorial.
“Really interesting tour. Allen was a great teller of history and really brought the many strands od ybis complex story to life. Definitely recommend!”
Walk Prague’s Old and New Town with an English-speaking guide such as Marco or Gaby, stopping at six sites for VR scenes of medieval conflict, the Prague Spring, Operation Anthropoid, and the city 120 years ago. Audio is available in seven languages.
“Marco was a wonderful tour guide. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I was solo traveling and happened to be the only one touring that day, so it was a personal tour. It was really cool to be able to stand in a specific place and then put on the goggles to see how that same place looked and what was going on at a particular point/event in history. It was much more memorable than just reading about the event in a museum. The places we saw were super interesting and were ones I would not have ordinarily seen, so this would complement well with a tour that would hit…”
Pick an era, or a kind of day.
