Prague New Town: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
This tour will take you around the New Town treasures. We start on Wenceslas Square - a square of not only revolution, but bursting with culture and hidden gems. From the square, we will disappear into a network of passageways and take a shortcut through the garden to National Avenue. There you'll discover how the Velvet Revolution started and take in a range of architectural styles such as Art Nouveau, Functionalism, Decorativism, Neo-renaissance and Post Modernism - all in one avenue! This is a tour of culture, history, memories and excellent cafés with spirit. Prague is one of the most entrancing and timeless cities of Europe. The tour will show you a different, personal and unique view through the eyes of a passionate local. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.
