The House Signs of Old Prague: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
When I first came to Prague as a child, I was enchanted by the beauty of its Old Town. Every residential building is a work of art thanks to the city’s house signs. Later in life, my curiosity led me on a quest to find out more, and I’ll share what I’ve discovered so far on this self-guided audio tour through medieval Prague’s most charming streets. Their pictures and symbols on signs reveal the history of each and every house, but they also tell a story about local culture.
Some of the highlights include:
• Finding out about life in the medieval city • Listening to the stories and gloomy legends of the people who lived in the city • Getting a glimpse of the theatre where Mozart worked • Visiting the medieval market in the St. Gallus Quarter • Visiting St. Giles Church, one of the oldest in Prague • Admiring one of Prague’s most charming public squares, the Little Square
