We would like to show you Prague from various points of view. It is just up to you to choose the best one to suit you. There will be 5 guided tours on Wednesday afternoon as follows. Please indicate one option in the Registration/Other messages to book it for you. The guided tours are covered by the conference fee and are served on the principle first booked (and paid the conference fee), first confirmed.

1) Prague Castle Tour

The Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in the world and leads you through 1000 years of Czech history. The guide will take you through three castle courtyards and show you interiors of the breath-taking St. Vitus Cathedral, the Royal Palace where the Czech kings used to live, romanesque St. George Basilica from 10th century and beautiful and picturesque Golden Lane where the “ordinary” castle people lived. Of course you will learn lots of interesting things about other neighbouring buildings.

2) Prague Jewish Town Tour

We would like to offer you a tour of the Prague Jewish Ghetto which covers the entrance to the Jewish Museum and old Cemetery. The Jewish Museum includes: Pinkas Synagogue which was re-opened after the Second World War as a memorial of the Holocaust, Klausen Synagoque with its exhibition on the Jewish traditions, Maisel Synagogue which is devoted to the history of the Prague and European Jews, and also beautiful moorish styled Spanish Synagogue.

3) Charles Bridge, Museum and Boat Trip

The Charles Bridge is a unique historical sight renowned world-wide. It is doubtlessly one of Prague´s main symbols. Let´s visit the Charles Bridge Museum and find out how the bridge was built and learn also about the lives of the people around it. Listen to the stories and legends connected to the bridge and to its statues. The guided tour of the museum is followed by a sightseeing boat trip with a presentation.

4) Magical Prague

Prague is a very old city which enchants almost everybody. It is mostly thanks to its beautiful architecture and preserved historical centre. However, have you ever visited its hidden corners, tiny narrow streets and secret passages? If you do, you can feel even more than the "ordinary" beauty - the magical power of the city. Join this tour and learn about its mysteries, fairy tales and legends. Visit places where scary ghosts can appear, but also miraculous places where people´s wishes come true...

5) Hradčany (Castle Town) Tour

Almost every visitor of Prague knows the Prague Castle. But not everybody knows Hradčany (until 1784 it was an independent "Castle Town", a very interesting area surrounding the Castle. The tour will take you through the complex of Strahov Monastery from 12th century, you will visit interiors of Prague Loreto (which hosts an exact copy of the Italian "Santa Casa" chapel), and pass glamorous noble palaces next to the small servants´ cottages. Following you can enjoy the relaxing part, when we step into the castle moat.
