Prague is one of the gems of East Europe, the picturesque houses of Novy Svet (or New World). Here we can see homes that have architectural details that are not commonly found as well as traverse the empty medieval streets that few tourists know about. From atop the hill we will then wind our way towards Hradcany and then downwards to Mala Strana.
Our vantage point here offers another unique view of the rooftops of Prague looking down towards the river. From here our journey goes towards the river along one of Prague’s most architecturally stunning streets: Thunovska as well as Zamecke schody - which lie under the castle.
Along this route the photographer will show various ways to capture the magic and beauty of these famed cobblestone streets and if time allows we will enter the stunning Vrtovska gardens that offer a delight in photographing opportunities.
Our tour will then end at the other side of Charles Bridge, Novotneho Lavka where stunning views of both Charles Bridge as well as Hradcany Prague Castle (Hradcany) can be found.
