♡ Save


Uncover Prague's rebellious spirit on a colorful Žižkov tour! Explore vibrant street art, hear bold stories of underground artists who defied totalitarian rules, and wrap up like a local with a crisp, refreshing Czech beer.
Welcome to Žižkov, a neighborhood defined by street art, independent culture, and a fierce spirit of rebellion. On this walk, we skip the generic tourist traps to explore the gritty, artistic side of Prague through the eyes of a local.
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 Finish Line: We’ll wrap up exactly how a local would - by grabbing a cold beer inside a vibrant arts and culture hub housed in a massive, converted Austro-Hungarian barracks.
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. - Bohemian Spirit: Discover why Žižkov once declared itself an independent republic and how it earned its reputation as Prague's wildest neighborhood.
