Highlights
In the city of spires and shadows, where every street hides a story and every stone whispers a secret, we will walk not only through history, but also through the pages of a modern thriller. This is an unofficial book tour, inspired by Dan Brown's novel Secret of Secrets, which brought the world-famous symbologist Robert Langdon into the heart of this city. Even if you have never opened the book, don’t worry. You will not need to know the plot to enjoy this journey. We will not reveal spoilers or give away mysteries meant for the page. Instead, we will trace the same paths Robert walked, stand where he stood, and let the places themselves tell us their own truths. Along the way, you will hear the legends, the hidden histories, and the curious facts that make Prague one of the most enigmatic cities in Europe. Think of it as stepping into a living puzzle. One moment you will be surrounded by Gothic towers, the next by baroque palaces, Cold War bunkers, or surreal modern art.

Itinerary
We step into the Old Jewish Cemetery, one of the most haunting sites in Prague.
We stand before the Old-New Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in Europe.
Here in the heart of Prague’s Old Town stands one of the city’s most striking modern monuments – the statue of Franz Kafka.
We arrive at Prague’s Old Town Square – Staroměstské náměstí – the beating heart of the city for nearly a thousand years.
We will stand before the Astronomical Clock, known as the Orloj, one of Prague’s most famous icons.
We will pass by one of Prague’s more unusual attractions – the Sex Machines Museum, located just off Old Town Square. It does not play a role in the novel’s plot, but it is mentioned twice in passing, once when Robert moves through the city and again when the Golem roams the same streets.
We will arrive at the Clementinum, one of Prague’s grandest landmarks. This sprawling complex once served as a Jesuit college.
We will step onto Charles Bridge, the most famous span across the Vltava. Built in the 14th century under the reign of Charles IV.
On Charles Bridge, we pause at the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, perhaps the most famous of all the saints lining this span.
We will reach the Kampa Museum, set on a small island between the Vltava River and its side canal. Its modern glass walls stand beside old mill buildings.
We will step into the Wallenstein Garden, one of Prague’s most beautiful baroque gardens, to see the Dripping Wall.
We will stand before Prague Castle, the city’s greatest landmark and the largest castle complex in the world. Stretching over 70,000 square meters, it is less a single fortress than a city within a city.

About Prague
Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.
Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
Top-ranked sights in Prague: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
