Start out at the Charles Bridge on the Old/New Town side of the river. If your back is to the river, take a right and walk along the river to the National Theater. Enjoy the classic views of the castle along the way, and then turn left on Narodni Trida at the National Theater in New Town.
Admire the theater and the famous Cafe Slavia across the street. From there, walk down Narodni Trida away from the river.
If you stay on the right-hand side of the street, you’ll eventually walk under a covered walkway. There’s a small monument to the 1989 revolution, which consists of a plaque and small sculpture of bronze hands on a wall.
Keep going down the street, and when you get to Tesco, veer slightly left onto Na Prikope, a pedestrian street.
Walk down Na Prikope until you get to Wenceslas Square. Take awhile to explore the square, and then continue down Na Prikope in the same direction you were going before. Stop by the Museum of Communism or the Mucha Museum if you have time, otherwise keep walking down the street.
Eventually you’ll come to the Obecni Dum, or Municipal house. It is a large yellow Art Nouveau building on your left when the pedestrian street ends. Go inside and walk around. Each room is decorated for a different social class and purpose; the rooms and restaurants upstairs are more formal, while those downstairs are more pub-like.
Go back out side, and walk a few steps back toward where you came from. On your right you’ll notice the Powder Tower. Walk through it and go down Celetna Ulice to Old Town Square. On your way, note the Cubist “House of the Black Madonna” on your left. Once in Old Town Square, spend some time visiting the Clock Tower (Orloj), statue of Jan Hus, Tyn Church, and other sights.
