About This Tour in Prague

This tour takes you beyond Prague’s tourist center, often called “Disneyland” by locals, and into the vibrant, creative neighborhood of Holešovice, which was voted one of the top 10 coolest districts in Europe by The Guardian. Led by a local guide, you’ll explore hidden courtyards, street art murals, and repurposed industrial spaces, including former factories turned cultural hubs. Along the way, you’ll hear personal stories and discover Prague’s underground art scene, learning about the city’s history, activism, and contemporary life. The tour concludes at the legendary Cross Club, a unique techno and community space built entirely from recycled industrial parts. This isn’t sightseeing, it’s experiencing Prague through the eyes of a local.
