Prague: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Old Town and Josefov

This self-guided audio walk explores Prague’s Old Town and the Jewish Quarter through medieval architecture, university history, theater, and sacred Jewish heritage. It is ideal for first-time visitors who want a clear route and rich stories while moving at their own pace. Your route begins at Stone Bell House on Old Town Square, where Gothic masonry and the busy square set the scene. From there, you continue to the Prague Astronomical Clock, then pass into the academic world of Charles University and the elegant facade of the Estates Theatre. The walk also includes the House of the Black Madonna, a landmark of Czech Cubism, before turning toward the grand Baroque interior of the Basilica of St. James the Greater. The second half leads into Josefov, starting with Maisel Synagogue and the layered tombstones of the Old Jewish Cemetery. You then continue to Klausen Synagogue, the Old-New Synagogue, and the richly decorated Spanish Synagogue, finishing back in the atmosphere of Old Town. Along the way, you will stand before one of Europe’s most famous medieval clocks, trace the legacy of one of Central Europe’s oldest universities, see bold Cubist design, and experience the quiet weight of Prague’s Jewish history among synagogues, memorial spaces, and crowded ancient graves.
