Starting Point: Charles Bridge
The tour begins at the famous Charles Bridge, a historic landmark shrouded in legends. As you stand on this stone marvel, your guide—probably a local storyteller—will share stories of ghostly apparitions and mysterious happenings linked to its centuries-old stones. We loved how the guide’s storytelling brought the bridge’s history alive, making it feel like stepping into a ghost story book. The 30-minute stop here is free, but it’s enough time to soak in the eerie atmosphere and hear some of Prague’s most captivating legends.
The Old Town and Jewish Quarter
Next, the tour moves into Stare Mesto (Old Town) and the Jewish Quarter, where most of the stories unfold. This part of Prague is packed with narrow, winding streets that seem perfect for ghostly encounters. The tour lasts about an hour, and your guide will reveal tales of haunted buildings, cursed sites, and historical murders that add a spine-tingling layer to the old stones.
One reviewer, Celine D, commented, “Les légendes de Pragues sont nombreuses et très intéressantes à chaque coin de rue son anecdotes sa légendes,” illustrating how every corner of Prague seems to whisper a story. We particularly enjoy how the stories intertwine with the city’s architecture, giving you a sense of walking through living history.
The Experience and Atmosphere
Expect an evening filled with storytelling, illuminated streets, and a sense of mystery. The guide’s role as a storyteller is key—delivering tales with just the right amount of suspense without veering into over-the-top theatrics. The inclusion of return transportation enhances the experience, ensuring you’re comfortably back at your hotel after the tour, especially important given the late start.
