Wenzel Walk
Walk in the footsteps of Wenceslas and discover the former fortress city’s most beautiful attractions!
This tour takes you through the oldest districts of the city, along the third city wall from the 14th century, which was built under Duke Wenceslas II, known in German as Wenzel. From the Bock promontory, participants take the panoramic walkway along the Corniche (‘the most beautiful balcony in Europe’) to the picturesque Grund district and from there up to the Rham Plateau, which offers fantastic views of 1,000 years of urban development.
