Highlights
Follow the course of a 16th-century engineering marvel in the center of Prague, Czech Republic. We will start at the Vltava river and cross a hill with one of the most breathtaking views on that beautiful city. Every now and then, you will discover hidden signs of the tunnel below your feet. You will find a beer garden, Europe's oldest wooden carousel, the place where the first Czech electric tramway was launched and streets full of cafés and garden restaurants. You'll learn where the world's largest Stalin statue was located and why many buildings on our way had to be reinforced with wooden beams. The tours finishes in Stromovka, Prague's most beautiful park. The tour plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Itinerary
Letná is a hill overlooking Prague historic centre and Vltava River just besides Prague Castle. It neighbours Stromovka, the largest park in Prague. The hill belongs to Holešovice and Bubeneč quarters of Prague 7.
The National Museum of Agriculture has interactive exhibits on agriculture, the food industry, forestry & gastronomy.
The National Technical Museum is the largest institution dedicated to preserving information and artifacts related to the history of technology in the Czech Republic.
Stromovka was established in the 1400s as a hunting ground, called the “Royal Game Reserve”. It was only under the emperor Rudolph II that the reserve was shaped into a park. At the beginning of the 1800s, the park was opened to the public and became one of the most popular recreational spaces for Prague citizens.

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).
