Main description

Around the huge Wenceslas Square, Na Příkopě Street ("over the ditch" in English) and Republic Square with its famous Municipal House, you will discover an urban ensemble unique in Europe, and perceive all the architectural dynamism of this period, on the way to modernity.

The great Art Nouveau hotels with their elegant curves and exuberant decorations, the modern palaces, the original cubist buildings, a unique architectural movement in Europe, the sober and pure functionalist buildings with spaces bathed in light... In the heart of the New Town, these jewels of the avant-garde invade the urban space, and cohabit with the flamboyant baroque palaces of the previous centuries.

At the same time, you will visit places linked to the major political events of the 20th century to better understand modern Czech history: the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the birth of the first Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, the 40 years of communism and finally the Velvet Revolution.

Accompanied by a specialized guide, plunge into the heart of modernity, thanks to this architectural and historical walk rich in contrasts and surprises.
