Overview

In the city of spires and shadows, where every street hides a story and every stone whispers a secret, we will walk not only through history, but also through the pages of a modern thriller. This is an unofficial book tour, inspired by Dan Brown's novel Secret of Secrets, which brought the world-famous symbologist Robert Langdon into the heart of this city.

Even if you have never opened the book, don’t worry. You will not need to know the plot to enjoy this journey. We will not reveal spoilers or give away mysteries meant for the page. Instead, we will trace the same paths Robert walked, stand where he stood, and let the places themselves tell us their own truths. Along the way, you will hear the legends, the hidden histories, and the curious facts that make Prague one of the most enigmatic cities in Europe.

Think of it as stepping into a living puzzle. One moment you will be surrounded by Gothic towers, the next by baroque palaces, Cold War bunkers, or surreal modern art.

Activity itinerary

Stary zidovsky Hrbitov (Pass by)

We step into the Old Jewish Cemetery, one of the most haunting sites in Prague.

The Old-New Synagogue (Pass by)

We stand before the Old-New Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in Europe.

Franz Kafka Statue (Pass by)

Here in the heart of Prague’s Old Town stands one of the city’s most striking modern monuments – the statue of Franz Kafka.

Staromestske namesti (Pass by)

We arrive at Prague’s Old Town Square – Staroměstské náměstí – the beating heart of the city for nearly a thousand years.

Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock (Pass by)

We will stand before the Astronomical Clock, known as the Orloj, one of Prague’s most famous icons.

Sex Machines Museum (Pass by)

We will pass by one of Prague’s more unusual attractions – the Sex Machines Museum, located just off Old Town Square. It does not play a role in the novel’s plot, but it is mentioned twice in passing, once when Robert moves through the city and again when the Golem roams the same streets.

Klementinum (Pass by)

We will arrive at the Clementinum, one of Prague’s grandest landmarks. This sprawling complex once served as a Jesuit college.

Charles Bridge (Pass by)

We will step onto Charles Bridge, the most famous span across the Vltava. Built in the 14th century under the reign of Charles IV.

St. John of Nepomuk Statue (Pass by)

On Charles Bridge, we pause at the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, perhaps the most famous of all the saints lining this span.

Museum Kampa (Pass by)

We will reach the Kampa Museum, set on a small island between the Vltava River and its side canal. Its modern glass walls stand beside old mill buildings.

Wallenstein Palace Gardens (Pass by)

We will step into the Wallenstein Garden, one of Prague’s most beautiful baroque gardens, to see the Dripping Wall.

Prague Castle (Pass by)

We will stand before Prague Castle, the city’s greatest landmark and the largest castle complex in the world. Stretching over 70,000 square meters, it is less a single fortress than a city within a city.

St. Vitus Cathedral (Pass by)

At the very heart of Prague Castle rises St. Vitus Cathedral, the spiritual symbol of the Czech nation. Its Gothic spires dominate the skyline, visible from almost anywhere in the city.

Strahov Monastery (Pass by)

We will stand before Strahov Monastery, perched high above the city near Petřín Hill.

Strahov stadium (Pass by)

We will arrive at the Strahov Swimming Pool, a hidden retreat within the city.

Petrin Tower (Pass by)

We will climb toward Petřín Hill, crowned by its famous Lookout Tower. Rising 63 meters above the summit, the tower resembles a miniature Eiffel Tower.

Memorial to the Victims of Communism (Pass by)

At the foot of Petřín Hill we pause before one of Prague’s most striking modern monuments – the Memorial to the Victims of Communism.

National Theater (Pass by)

Standing proudly on the banks of the Vltava, the National Theatre is one of Prague’s greatest symbols of culture and identity.

Dancing House (Pass by)

As we go along the Vltava embankment, the city opens before us – and suddenly the Dancing House comes into view.

Residence Of The United States Ambassador (Pass by)

We will arrive at the Petschek Villa, a grand residence in Prague’s Bubenč district, once home to one of the city’s wealthiest banking families.
