Overview:

Forget ghost stories, medieval cosplay, and sanitized legends. Prague’s real history was far stranger. This is a city shaped by executions, religious wars and dynasties that treated family murder as succession planning.

Led by a professional historian with an alarming level of enthusiasm for historical catastrophe, this walking tour explores the darker past of Prague full of questionable moral choices - through Old Town, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle.

Expect political murders, failed alchemists, public executions, religious extremism, dynastic feuds, and the occasional act of ceremonial window-based diplomacy.
