Descrizione completa

We will lead you out of the bustling crowds found on Old Town Square and into one of Prague's eeriest places. This area was once the dwelling place of impoverished folks, where plague and mystery were found. Now, it is usually ignored by other tours, but this area is ripe with history and intrigue. The location provides the perfect atmosphere for stories of death and disease, mysterious magic and demonic activity. Come hear about these poor spirits who haunt the dimly lit, lonely streets of Old Town after the lights are low. You never know - maybe you'll even meet one for yourself!

Be assured: there are no costumed characters lurking in the shadows to jump out and scare you. This tour is full of lively storytelling that doesn't require such antics to make a ‚scary aura‘. The mysteries, legends and tales we will tell you are all true - nothing has been made up for the sake of this tour. That alone ought to frighten you!

This is a tour for everyone, whether or not they believe in ghosts and goblins. It is designed to entertain anyone who wants to experience a different kind of Prague history, outside the stereotypical history tour.
