Get your discount tickets for the Medieval Prague Through a Nightwatchman’s Eyes, save up to 9% !
Overview
Prague, 1633. The gates lock at dusk. The streets belong to one man with a halberd, a lantern, and zero patience for curfew breakers. Three centuries later, he's still out there — and tonight, he's letting you tag along. Walk Prague's Old Town after dark with a guide in full 17th-century nightwatchman costume. Over 90 minutes, hear the true story of 27 executions on Old Town Square in 1621, stand where Mozart's Don Giovanni had its world premiere, and learn medieval fire safety rules that somehow involve mandatory beer. The tour ends with the nightwatchman's traditional horn call — loud, sudden, and unforgettable. This is history with character, not a guidebook recited aloud. Real stories, real locations, real cobblestones underfoot, and a guide who takes his 400-year-old job disturbingly seriously. Small groups. Available in English, German and Portuguese. Suitable for all ages.

Our meeting point is directly in front of the old Powder Tower, right next to náměstí Republiky 1090/5. Simply look for a person with a halberd and a big hat.
