New Town and Vysegrad

The new city of Prague is actually very old – it was founded in 1348 by Charles IV, the beloved king of all Czechs. I will tell you what the idea of the Czech ruler and Holy Roman Emperor was and why the city remains modern and comfortable even after almost 700 years.

Our walk will start from Charles Square, the largest square in medieval Europe. Red Square can be placed on it four times. And then we go through the academic quarter, and I'll show you the university where Albert Einstein worked.

We will walk through the part of the city, which in the Middle Ages was called the Garden of Eden. It was here that Charles IV laid the temples that form the cross that blesses the city. Let’s talk about medieval mysticism and alchemy and, if we’re lucky, look at these temples. All of them miraculously survived and I will show you details that have not changed since the XIV century.

We will walk along the Gothic fortress wall that surrounded medieval Prague and head to Vysegrad, where Slavic legends coexist with unique fortifications of the XVII century. There is also a slightly funny and cute monument to the main Christian patron of the Czech Republic - St. Wenceslas, and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, founded by the first Czech king.
