A free walking tour of Central Prague

No kidding, you found it. Something for nothing, free. How many ways can you say it. This was what the Internet was supposed to be like wasn't it?

Why is it free, what's the catch?

 No catch. Spend any time browsing this site and you'll see my style is up front and honest. Some feedback is all I ask and you don't even have to do that. Later this year livingprague.com will publish a nifty Prague walking tour book (7 tours plus other great information) which will be available in A6 paperback and eBook formats. I've decided to put one of the city tours online because I still have an altruistic streak in me (this means I like to help others for no financial gain).
A note about printing. The book will be A6 (pocket size) so if you just print the document it will be A6 i.e. about a quarter of an A4 piece of paper. If you want the whole A4 page printed then in your printer options there is a section marked "copies and adjustments". Tick the box marked "expand to paper size". The pictures on the document will now look a little blurred as you've blown then up to 4 times their optimised size but, the text will be much bigger.


What's in the tour?

I timed this particular Prague city walking tour at approximately an hour and a half spending a little bit of time in one or two of the attractions that you'll meet along the way (depending on how long it takes for you to find the forearm of a 14th Century thief!!) but, I'd allow a couple of hours for a leisurely stroll. You'll be wandering around an area only two or three hundred metres from the Old Town Square and learning something about Prague as you go. Specifically included in this Prague walking tour are the Municipal House, Namesti Republiky, Tyn Courtyard, St James Church, Hotel Pariz, Cubism Museum and the Old Town Square including information about the history of the Orloj (Astronomical Clock). Other local tips are thrown in and it's all free. Note that if you take an "optional detour" from the tour then return to the place that you were before you took the option in order to resume the main walking tour.


What do you want from me?

 Lets get straight to the point. It's free. Take it, have fun and never speak to me again. But, if you know somebody who might be interested in this then send them the link. I'm looking for people to get back to me for three reasons:

1) Simple feedback. Did you have fun, find it interesting, any issues etc etc
2) Interest in buying the paperback book or eBook. My contact email is in the bottom left corner of this page. If you are interested in buying a book then send me an email. I'll save your email and let you know when it's available.
3) If you are interested then which format would be your first choice i.e. A6 paper or eBook?


How do I get the free Prague walking tour?

 At the base of this page you'll see a link to a pdf document stored on my site. You'll need Adobe Acrobat software to open it but, unless your pc is from the stone age then it should already be installed but, you may never have used it. This software is commonly bundled with other software programs because it is used for the supporting manuals for the product. If you have a stone age pc then the software is freely available at Adobe.com.

Click on the icon below and if the Adobe software is installed on your pc, the document will open and you'll see the regular options for setting the screen size and printing etc. Just save it onto your own pc. If the document does not open then either you do not have Adobe Acrobat on your pc or it does not recognise the .pdf extension. In this case do the following:
1) open the control Panel of your pc (START --> Control Panel)
2) click on "Folder Options" folder.
3) click on the "file types" tab.
4) scroll down the list of file types until you find "PDF" then click on it to highlight the line.
5) in the lower part of the box it should say "Opens with Acrobat Reader". If it does not say Acrobat Reader then click on the "change" button and select whatever "Acrobat Reader" software is on your pc from the list. If Acrobat Reader is not in the list then it's not on your pc.

That's it. Thanks for your time. The link to the walking tour is below. The filesize is about 680k so it will take a minute or so to fully load on slower pc's. Enjoy exploring the City of Prague.
