About this tour
This session covers a quieter New Town street and an early 20th-century building, both away from Wenceslas Square's main crowds. You see how the district has changed use across different periods, then a building whose plain, functional style contrasts sharply with the old town. It is a look at Prague's more modern architectural layer.
I keep a relaxed pace throughout, since the walk is built around contrast rather than a single landmark. Questions come as we go, and I am happy to compare the building's style with the old town's again if it helps. A short note on the district's other functionalist buildings follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who has already seen the square and wants its quieter side streets. It also suits viewers interested in 20th-century architecture.
