TOUR - 10 Old Town Tales
Host: Derek DeWitt
Prague's Old Town is, well, old, and full of fascinating tales, legends and locations. We'll look at ten tales in the area that you may not know about. This is designed as a tour that you can take while walking the winding streets of Staré Město. If you are too far away, you could follow along using Google Maps street view or something similar, or just listen and imagine. You can also see a video with photos of each location on our YouTube channel.
