Photos from a guided walk through Prague´s passages

On Friday afternoon, 19 September 2025, we enjoyed a guided walk through the heart of Prague with a group of international students and researchers, led by our favorite guide, Mr. Martin Bělohradský.

We began our tour with a visit to the interior of the ground floor of the Municipal House. From there, we passed through the Czech National Bank passage to Senovážné Square, and then returned via the Slavic House passage to Na Příkopě Street. One of our stops included the historic building of the former Živnostenská Banka.

Continuing along Panská Street, we paused in front of the former Piarist College and walked through the Černá Růže passage back to Na Příkopě Street, where we admired architectural gems such as the Sylva-Taroucca Palace (Savarin). At the end of Na Příkopě, we entered the Koruna passage, which led us to the lower part of Wenceslas Square, where we learned about the historical significance of this iconic location.

Our walk continued through the famous Lucerna arcade to Vodičkova Street, where we stopped in front of the Art Nouveau building U Nováků. We then passed through the Světozor arcade, featuring the beautiful TESLA mosaic, and entered the peaceful Franciscan Garden.

We concluded our walk at Jungmann Square, in the passage of the Adria Palace, a striking example of Rondocubist architecture.

The weather was perfect, and we all thoroughly enjoyed this enriching and pleasant afternoon together.
