Jurek Chyb carries on with his personal and honest narrative of the places in the Czech capital that he never fails to visit whilst there. This time it’s one of the symbols of Royal Prague – Golden Lane in Hradcany. Marksmen, goldsmiths, alchemists, a prophetess and Franz Kafka – all once lived in Zlata Ulicka. Also, why this place is not as it used to be anymore, yet still remains well-worth visiting.

George here, George there, George everywhere. Jurek Chyb (also George) takes you to a place full of Georges, mainly St. Georges. Listen to the next instalment of the highly subjective tour of Prague, this time showing you the oldest building in Prague, where eleven centuries speak.
The Prague tour continues. The problem is, Jurek Chyb keeps turning left when everyone else carries on straight ahead… This time he makes you look up to face the spookiest creatures that have ever adorned any gutter in a Gothic cathedral. St Vitus gargoyles send shivers down your spine and rainwater down the walls.

The personal tour of Prague takes a moment of reflection and gets you indoors. In the next part of his feature “My Prague”, Jurek Chyb encourages you to look left again and search for the entrance to one of the most unassuming art exhibitions you’ve been to. For the price of three beers, enjoy the masterpieces of masters like Rembrandt, Goya, Rubens, Van Dyck or El Greco at the gallery that is so modest it even doesn’t have the word “gallery” in its name.

In the next instalment of his insider tour of the Czech capital, Jurek Chyb
again leads you astray. After the stint at the Strahov Monastery where St
Norbert’s beer rules, it’s time for the place where time stopped. Follow
your guide along a little winding street, down the hill from Loreta towards
the Royal Castle.
