Ghost Walking Tour: Legends Come To Life
A 90-minute walk through Old Town’s cobbled lanes, in your choice of six languages.
What this tour is about
This tour takes a lighter, more playful approach to Prague’s ghost stories than a straight history lesson. A local guide leads a 90-minute walk through Old Town’s narrow, winding lanes, sharing legends most standard sightseeing tours skip entirely — the kind of stories passed down rather than printed on a plaque.
Along the way, expect a genuine surprise or two: costumed performers appear at points during the walk for a few in-character encounters with “Prague’s ghosts” — theatrical rather than frightening, closer to a fun jump-scare than a horror experience. The route also passes the Astronomical Clock, where the guide tells the dark legend behind the skeleton figure built into its mechanism.

The Route
The walk starts near Křižovnické náměstí in Old Town, close to the base of Charles Bridge, and continues past the Clementinum before crossing Mariánské náměstí toward Old Town Square. The final stop is the Astronomical Clock, where the guide finishes with its darkest legend — fitting, given it’s also where the tour ends.
Exact route and timing can vary slightly depending on the group and guide.
