In Prague, there are over two thousand guides

The Czech Republic Guides Association was established in autumn 2001 as a non-governmental organisation uniting tourist guides. According to their data, there are 4,500 tourist guides in the Czech Republic, about half of whom provide services in the capital city and the Central Bohemian region. There are also unregistered guides in the country, but the quality of their services is not guaranteed.

On the 23rd of February, you will have the opportunity to join free guided tours of Prague with educated and qualified guides who are members of the Association. The meeting point is at Václav Havel Square.

A café in a prime location

There are two routes to choose from, and both will stop at the Café Slavia, opposite the National Theatre. One of the most famous cafes in Prague first opened in 1884. Jaroslav Kvapil, Vítězslav Nezval, the Čapek brothers, Jan Zrzavý, and later Václav Havel and the poet Jiří Kolář were among the many artists who used to come here. Artists continue meeting at Café Slavia to this day.
