Old Town after dark
When the day visitors leave, the Old Town gets its voice back. We meet under the Jan Hus memorial, watch the Astronomical Clock strike, and follow the old lanes past Týn and the Klementinum to the river.
The walk ends on Charles Bridge, with the castle lit up on its hill. It’s an easy hour and a half on the flat.
