Prague City Guide Tour 2025
19. 3. 2025 Authors: Zlata Pidperyho and Anna Piliuhina On the 7th and 15th of March 2025, we held our traditional Prague city tour for the summer semester Erasmus students.We began our tour at Wenceslas Square, an ideal starting point to introduce the city and its rich history. During the tour, students not only visited some of the most famous landmarks but also gained deeper insights into the cultural and historical significance of each place. No matter where we walked, we were surrounded by centuries of history, making every step feel like a journey through time.
Our tour included several stops, such as the iconic Old Town Square, where we explored the legends of the Astronomical Clock and magnificent churches. We then admired the elegant Art Nouveau architecture of Pařížská Street and took in the breathtaking views along Prague’s picturesque riverside, with the Vltava River on one side, and Národní třída, a street deeply intertwined with the country’s political and cultural heritage.
For lunch, we had an authentic dining experience right by the Charles Bridge, with stunning views of the Vltava River and Petřín Hill. Students had the opportunity to try traditional Czech dishes for the first time, sparking lively conversations and cultural exchanges.
It was an unforgettable experience – one that not only deepened our appreciation for this wonderful city and provided an excellent opportunity to connect with the city’s past and present, making history come alive before our eyes, but also fostered new friendships and lasting memories.
We hope that these memories will inspire students to keep exploring, learning, and appreciating the beauty and history that surround us!
