Audio Guide Description
Prague’s beauty is undeniable, but to truly understand it, you need someone who’s lived its stories. This 45-minute Prague audio guide was scripted by Prague-born historian and longtime Context expert Jiri Styblo, and brought to life by local storyteller Tereza Libichova, who narrates your way through the city’s storied streets.
Starting at the House of the Black Madonna, one of the few Cubist buildings in the world, Jiri invites you to see Prague not just as a postcard-perfect destination, but as a living, evolving place shaped by reformers, revolutionaries, and everyday people. As you walk through the Old Town’s twisting lanes, across the Charles Bridge, and into the quiet corners of the Lesser Quarter, you’ll hear the stories locals pass down, and the ones that rarely make it into guidebooks.
What sets this self-guided walking tour of Prague apart isn’t just the history (though there’s plenty of that). It’s the perspective. You’ll hear personal reflections on what it means to be Czech today, how locals think about their past, and where they find joy in daily life; whether that’s over a beer, at a concert, or simply wandering through familiar streets.
Along the way, you’ll:
- Watch the Astronomical Clock strike the hour and learn what most people miss
- Stand in Old Town Square, where Jan Hus’s defiance still echoes centuries later
- Discover why Cubist architecture found its footing here—and nowhere else
- Visit the Estates Theatre, where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni in 1787
- Cross Charles Bridge, hearing the real story behind St. John of Nepomuk’s statue
- Trace key moments in Czech history—from the Hussite movement to the Velvet Revolution
Whether it’s your first time in Prague or your fifth, this tour will deepen your connection to the city, layer by layer, story by story.
