- Slovansky Ostrov-Zofin - Down at this beautiful island, we shall be discovering about the personalities of the Prague interwar avant garde.
- Pštrossova - By this point, we’ll have reached the start of the twentieth century, around the birth of the First Republic, when multiple ethnicities jostled in the city.
- Karlovo namesti - Our tour will finish amongst the urban greenery of Charles Square, near to which important writers of the nineteenth century lived.

See Prague in a whole new light - Fergus is probably the most knowledgeable guide I’ve ever had and wove all of it into a really compelling story of Prague full of intrigue and scandal, and highlighted so many points of interest I never would’ve known otherwise. Highly recommend for history and literature buffs!
