About this activity

Explore Prague's shadowy underbelly on a 90-minute evening walking tour through Old Town's forgotten corners, uncovering true historical accounts of plague, poverty, and paranormal folklore that conventional tours skip. This atmospheric experience blends genuine history with local legends, appealing to both sceptics and believers seeking an alternative perspective on the city.

We will take you away from the bustle and noise of the Old Town Square into one of the eeriest parts of Prague, once a den of poverty, plague, and magic, an area often overlooked by tour guides yet full of history, intrigue, and atmosphere. 

You’ll hear stories of death and betrayal, dark arts, and demonic visions. Learn about the restless spirits said to roam amongst the beautiful architecture of the Old Town and who knows, perhaps you’ll even meet them face to face!

Are you afraid of ghosts?

No one will jump out at you to try to scare you. On this tour, we focus on storytelling and not on special effects or cheap tricks to make the tour ‘frightening’. We will take you through the mysteries, legends, and tales from the darker side of Prague’s history, and none of our stories are made up for the tour.

This is a tour for skeptics and believers alike or those who want to experience a different side of Prague from the regular historical tours.
