Prague 3 Educational Trail

The trail uses 20 boards to present selected locations of Prague 3, aiming to provide an idea of its history, urbanism, development and character, crucial transformations of its built areas, important personalities and events. The most significant fields are changes in Prague 3 in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The individual boards, together with the visual material and explanations, describe the relevant location and its surroundings, the most interesting moments in their history and present.

The boards are self-reliant so you can group them as convenient. The map contains recommended walks covering the 9 kilometres of the trail as well as a tram route.
