The Golem of the Jewish Quarter
As our bus cruises through the Jewish Quarter (Josefov), look closely at the Old-New Synagogue. Legend has it that the attic still holds the remains of the Golem—a giant clay creature brought to life by Rabbi Loew in the 16th century to protect the community. Our audio guide will dive into the spooky details while you stay safely tucked in your seat.
The “Suicide Bridge” and the Dancing House
Prague isn’t all medieval spires. As you head toward the riverbank on the Green Line, you’ll pass the Dancing House. This architectural rebel was inspired by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. But did you know the nearby Nusle Bridge earned a grim reputation as the “Suicide Bridge” before safety barriers were installed? It’s a stark contrast to the whimsical “Ginger and Fred” building just down the road.
The Ghost of the headless Templar
When you hop off at the Old Town Square stop, you’re standing in the epicenter of Prague’s ghost stories. Locals whisper about the Headless Templar who rides a white horse through the narrow streets of Liliová at midnight. While we can’t promise a ghost sighting from the top deck, the atmosphere of the winding alleys is undeniable.
Why a Sightseeing Bus is Your Best Friend
The beauty of a hop on hop off Prague experience is that you can explore these “hidden” spots at your own pace. See a weird statue? Hop off. Want to investigate a dark alleyway? Go for it! Then, just wait for the next bus to pick you up and take you to the next legend.
Prague’s history is too big to see on foot. Between the Prague Castle legends and the hidden symbols on the Charles Bridge, you need a guide that knows the city’s soul.
