Full Version: Prague: self-guided audio tour through the City of Spires This self-guided audio tour introduces Prague through its grand landmarks, historic quarters, and a few playful modern surprises. It will appeal to first-time visitors, architecture lovers, and travelers curious about how Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau, and contemporary design share the same city. The route begins at the Municipal House, one of Prague’s best-known Art Nouveau buildings, then leads into Old Town Square and on to Charles Bridge. From there, you cross into Malá Strana to explore its baroque streets, visit St. Nicholas Church with its great dome, and continue uphill to St. Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle, the vast seat of Czech rulers. The walk then returns toward the river and Old Town Bridge Tower before detouring to David Černý’s provocative sculptures, the riverside near Restaurace Vltava, and the curving landmark of the Dancing House. In the final stretch, the tour turns back into the center through Old Town for a taste of local beer culture near U Kunštátů, continues across Wenceslas Square, and ends at Aukční síň Vltavín. Along the way, the most memorable moments include standing among medieval facades in Old Town Square, crossing the Vltava on Charles Bridge, looking up at the cathedral and castle, and encountering Prague’s witty modern art beside its centuries-old skyline.
