À propos de cette activité

Prague preserved a lot of medieval monuments. But also incredible modern buildings! Join our learned and charismatic guides on a fascinating journey through the years 1890 to 1940. In those years, Prague architecture went through a flurry of styles that fall under the umbrellas of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Modernism. Starting at the breathtaking Central Train Station from 1901, we embark on a journey full of gorgeous facades, hidden shopping arcades and contrasting sceneries of multiple styles in one view. Besides delivering facts, this tour is also designed to tell you a story: In the span of two generations, scientific, social and cultural changes sparked an artistic revolution that impacts architecture to this day. How did Einstein influence the Cubist architecture of Prague? Are houses machines that produce living? And why don't we build pretty buildings anymore as a civilization? Come and see this city through a completely different lens!
