A completely original view of the western part of Královské Vinohrady as a wonderful new modern city, which surprises especially by its quality First Republic architecture and traces of the lively social, commercial and cultural life of this once third largest Czech city, which grew at a rocket speed at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Participants will hear interesting information and be delighted by a number of buildings they may have passed by unnoticed until recently.

Is Prague a hidden Detroit?

Guided walk with Josef Vomáčka on Wednesday 15 May 2024

  • meeting at 16:00 at the monument on Jungmann Square
  • the walk will take about 3 hours
  • registration and fee 100 CZK in advance – see application form
  • each participant will receive a sound device

The devastation and destruction of public spaces – cafes, lounges, restaurants, or biographers – is a symptom of the extinction of downtown; the lack of small-scale replacement is not saving Detroit (and especially Prague). An interesting and depressing walk through a dying city, with reminders of the literally criminal practices of the ruling class in the early 1950s in this area as well.
