Highlights

Ablauf

1. We meet at the fountain with three dolphins at the Old Town Square. The tour guide will give a warm introduction to the tour and the dark legends of medieval Prague. You then follow your guide by lantern light into Old Town’s older, quieter streets - places that feel almost unchanged for centuries.

   10 Min.

2. This historic street was once packed with merchants and travelers before plague and tragedy transformed it into the setting of one of Prague’s most chilling legends. Behind its lively past hides the haunting story of a mother, a missing child, and a tragedy that shocked plague-era Prague. Locals say her spirit still returns to the balcony at the same time every day.

   10 Min.

3. This quiet corner behind St. Castulus Church was once used only by executioners - the most feared and isolated figures in medieval Prague. Here begins the story of a man whose tragic past led him to become the city’s most famous executioner. Visitors sometimes say the narrow alley still feels strangely cold and watched.

4. Princess Agnes of Bohemia shocked medieval Europe when she gave up royal comfort to live a life of charity and faith in this convent. Known for her powerful visions and prophecies, she became one of the most respected figures in Czech history. Legend says that when her lost remains are discovered, prosperity will return to the Czech lands.

5. Founded in 1354, St. Francis Hospital became one of Europe’s most advanced medical centers centuries ago. But before modern medicine, its halls witnessed painful surgeries, desperate patients, and death on a daily basis. Some say the spirits of doctors who never stopped working still roam the building’s sealed corridors.

   10 Min.

6. At St. Salvator Church, history and legend collide. After the brutal executions of twenty-seven Protestant nobles in 1621, their severed heads were hidden somewhere within the church walls - and never found. Locals say the restless spirits still wander Prague each year on the anniversary of their deaths.

   10 Min.

7. This historic church has witnessed centuries of Prague’s history, from coronations to rebellions, and even inspired Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle. Inside and around it, a tragic tale unfolded: a young servant girl murdered by her wealthy mistress now returns as a peaceful, ghostly presence. Visitors say that on quiet nights, she can still be seen gliding toward the church, smiling and fading into the darkness.

   10 Min.

8. The tour concludes here, in the very center of Prague, with some final thoughts from your guide and time for questions. It’s a chance to reflect on the experience and ask anything you’d still like to know before saying goodbye.

About Prag

Prags Türme ragen über der Moldau auf: Burg auf dem Hügel, Brücke mit Heiligenstatuen und eine fast unversehrte mittelalterliche Altstadt.

Die Prager Burg, einer der größten Burgkomplexe überhaupt, krönt den Hügel Hradschin, mit dem St.-Veits-Dom in ihrer Mitte und den winzigen Häuschen des Goldenen Gässchens dahinter. Darunter führen die Barockpaläste und Terrassengärten der Kleinseite hinab zur Karlsbrücke, die von Heiligenstatuen gesäumt und schon im Morgengrauen belebt ist.

Top-ranked sights in Prag: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
