Prague has 3 self-guided audio walking tours on Roamer, covering history and architecture. Every tour is free to start, so you can preview roughly the first 30% before you pay. The routes run from about 70 to 150 minutes and 1.2 to 4.8 km on foot, at your own pace with GPS-triggered narration.

A city of a hundred spires that came through the twentieth century almost intact, so its Gothic lanes, Baroque palaces, and Art Nouveau facades still stand shoulder to shoulder above a bend in the Vltava. Walk the coronation route of the Bohemian kings from the Old Town to the castle, the storied Jewish quarter of Josefov, and the decade when Prague taught itself Art Nouveau and Cubism.

St. Vitus Cathedral: The Crowning Church

0:00 / 0:20
  • The Coronation Way: Walk the Royal Route the Bohemian kings walked to their crowning, from the Gothic gate at the edge of the Old Town, over Charles Bridge, and up the castle hill to the cathedral that held the crown of Saint Wenceslas.
  • The City's Modern Grammar: A walk through the single decade when a city of Gothic spires and Baroque swirl taught itself two brand new ways to shape a wall: the flowing gold of Art Nouveau, and Cubism carved into stone and concrete.
  • The Town Within the City: A sober cluster walk through Josefov, the former Jewish quarter of Prague, where the oldest synagogue in active use, a cemetery layered a dozen graves deep, and the handwritten names of the murdered all share the same small ground. Read eight centuries of confinement and survival at your own pace.

How much does a walking tour in Prague cost?

Every Prague tour is free to preview. A single tour is $4.99 for lifetime access. If you plan to take more than one, a 7-day pass is $12.99 and a 30-day pass covering every tour in every city is $19.99, which works out to well under a dollar a day. There is no group booking, no start time, and no tip.

Is Prague good for a self-guided walking tour?

Roamer's Prague routes cover about 1.2 to 4.8 km on foot, with up to 8 stops on the longest tour, so they are built for walking at an unhurried pace. Because the tours are self-guided, you choose when to start, how long to linger at each stop, and which stops to skip. That makes Prague easy to explore on your own, whether you have an hour or a full afternoon.
