Prague: Ghosts and Legends Guided Tour + Museum Admission

Additional Information & Description

Prague’s oldest streets become the setting for an atmospheric night walk through the mysteries of the medieval city. This guided tour turns the focus away from a conventional sightseeing route and towards the stories attached to its streets, buildings and squares, with a visit lasting one hour and 30 minutes.

Ghost stories with specific places at their heart

The skeleton on the Astronomical Clock, the elves of the Burgrave House and a square associated with public executions provide the starting points for Prague’s darker tales. Your guide shares stories of murder, ghosts and mischief, connecting the city’s places with the legends surrounding them. The questions are part of the appeal: what does the clock’s skeleton mean, what were those elves doing, and where did executions take place? Live ghosts are also included in the tour, alongside the guide’s storytelling.

Admission to the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians

Your ticket includes admission to the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague. Here, the subject shifts from supernatural tales to alchemy—the dark, often dangerous precursor to chemistry. The museum adds a different strand to the visit, exploring a subject in which attempts to understand and transform substances preceded modern chemical science.

A live guide in six languages

The walk is led by a live guide, with tours available in English, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. Spoken storytelling is central to the experience: you hear the tales as you move through the old streets, rather than following a self-guided account.
