Žižkov Free Tour: Prague's Raw & Alternative Side
Overview
Our Route & Experience:
- The Starting Point. We begin at the hauntingly beautiful Olšany Cemetery, exploring its historic grounds, eerie architecture, and hidden stories.
- The Backstreets. We’ll weave through winding alleys, checking out incredible street art, local secrets, and hidden corners no regular guidebook will tell you about.

The Stories You'll Hear:
- Art vs. Totalitarianism. Dive into the underground scene and hear about the brave artists, musicians, and writers who risked everything to defy oppressive totalitarian regimes.

On arrival
Exact Location: I will be standing right outside the main street-level entrance of the Atrium Flora Mall, close to the tram stops.
What to look for: Look for the guy holding a bright leopard-print umbrella!
Take Trams 5, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, or 26 instead, get off at the "Flora" stop, and you will see the mall entrance right there. Please allow an extra 5–10 minutes for your journey just in case!
Things to note
Please note that the Flora metro station is currently closed for works.
We will finish with a cold beer, so bring some cash/card in case you want a drink.
