Prague
Six centuries of Gothic and Baroque that no war managed to flatten, watched over by a castle the size of a town. Prague rewards slow walking — and looking up.

Questions about Prague
- How much does the Prague guide cost?
- The Prague city pass is €9.90 and lasts a year. Each treasure hunt is bought separately at €6.90 and lasts 180 days. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
- Do I need to book a time or meet a guide?
- No. Nobody is meeting you, and nothing starts at a fixed time. You buy it, it opens on your phone, and you walk it whenever you happen to be in Prague: before breakfast, after dinner, or spread over three separate days.
- What is the difference between the map guide and a treasure hunt?
- The map guide shows you every stop from the start and tells you about each one as you arrive. It is a guidebook you walk. A treasure hunt hides the stops behind riddles: you are told what to look for, not where it is, and each find is checked before the next riddle appears.
- Is admission to the museums and monuments included?
- No. What you buy is the guide, not the tickets. The pages tell you what each place charges and where booking ahead is the difference between walking in and going home. The treasure hunts are a separate case: they are built entirely around places that cost nothing to reach.
- What language is the Prague guide in?
- Prague is written in English and French. Every stop, every tip and every riddle is translated in full, not machine-translated from English. The narration is recorded in English.
- What is actually on the Prague map?
- 23 places: landmarks, churches & monasteries, parks & gardens, museums and viewpoints. Each has its own page on this site with the address, the opening hours and what a ticket gets you, and the guide adds the story behind it and the tip only somebody who has stood there would write down.
