Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its historic centre is full of towers, churches, bridges and squares, and it is easy to explore on foot. With Piracity you discover it while walking, like a treasure hunt for the whole family.
Stops to discover
Torre delle Polveri
The Powder Tower is one of the finest Gothic gates in Prague. Begun in 1475, it marks the start of the Royal Route, the road of the royal processions to the Castle.
Teatro degli Stati
The Estates Theatre is a classical theatre that opened in 1783. It is linked to Mozart, who conducted the premiere of Don Giovanni here in 1787.
Chiesa di Santa Maria di Týn
The Church of Our Lady before Týn is one of the most important Gothic churches in Prague. Its two towers dominate the Old Town Square.
Orologio astronomico
Prague's astronomical clock, the Orloj, is on the tower of the Old Town Hall. Its oldest part dates from 1410 and it still works today.
Sinagoga Vecchia-Nuova
The Old-New Synagogue is the oldest synagogue in Europe still in use. It was built in the 1270s and is the heart of Prague's Jewish community.
Rudolfinum
The Rudolfinum is a Neo-Renaissance palace for music and art, opened in 1885. Today it is the home of the Czech Philharmonic.
Clementinum
The Clementinum is an old college founded in 1556. It is the largest complex in Prague after the Castle. Today it is home to the National Library of the Czech Republic.
Ponte Carlo
Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in Prague. It was begun in 1357 at the wish of Charles IV and is decorated with 30 statues of saints.
The sights along the route
The walk visits eight places in the Old Town, all close to each other. You start from an ancient stone gate and reach the great square with its famous clock. The rest you will find stop by stop: theatres, Gothic churches, music palaces, libraries and a bridge of statues.
It is about 2.5 km on foot along flat streets, often cobbled. You need about 3 hours of play, plus your breaks. The route does not return to the starting point and ends near the tram and the metro.
History and culture, lived through play
Every stop tells a piece of history. There are kings and emperors, clockmakers and astronomers, architects and great musicians. There are questions about art and traditions, riddles, anagrams and small logic puzzles. The questions are designed for children aged 9 and up and for their parents.
You don't need to know everything already. Many answers are found by looking carefully at what is in front of you, others by reasoning together. That way a walk becomes a challenge to play as a team.
An adventure that continues
Once the hunt is over, Prague still has plenty to offer families. Across the river lies the Malá Strana district, with gardens and flights of steps. On the hill above Malá Strana there is a park, a lookout tower and a mirror maze. In summer you can hire small boats on the river.
Prague's museums have rooms designed for children. Every district has its own story: the next hunt is waiting for you.
