Prague essential

Slow walking trough the most beatiful town all over the world, with stops for refreshment. Stories, architecture, art in one day. We will see many nice places, for which there is no place in this short description. Prague is recommended to show round on foot, there are narrows streets, not alloved for cars, sights are not much spreaded. During whole day we will walk about 4 km. You must see - tour. I am looking forward to discover beauties of Prague and Czechia.
