What it is
SANDEMANs NEW Europe is a walking-tour company with freelance guides that works in Prague with a free route: you don't pay at the start and leave whatever tip you like at the end. It leaves from Old Town Square, on the corner with Pařížská street, opposite the Church of St Nicholas, and ends at Jan Palach Square.
What it covers
According to the company, it passes the astronomical clock, the Black Madonna at the Museum of Cubism, the towers of the Church of Our Lady before Týn, a view of the castle, the Rudolfinum, the former Jewish quarter of Josefov and the Powder Tower. Along the way the guides tell the story of the 1945 Prague uprising. It is a good first morning to get your bearings before going into the clock and the Town Hall tower or Josefov.
