About the 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 network of passageways and take a shortcut to 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.

I was born in West Bohemia, grew up by the German border in communist regime order, but revolution arrived right in time, when I was 18! I traveled some, 27 years ago I settled in Prague. My company Prague Walks is as old as my daughter - 22 years. I love to tell stories about Prague, my home country, my personal stories related to the topic too. I am a history buff, studied History and English at Pilsen University. I am a tour leader based in Prague, operating around Europe. I am passionate about music, dance, culture, art in general, local cuisines....

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.

Resume playback to go at your own pace

If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.

Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast

Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
