Prague: Private Prague Art Nouveau and Cubism Tour
Starting at the recently reconstructed Central Train Station from 1909, embark on a journey through Prague's New Town to see the many architectonic jewels of the Belle Epoque.
Through the tour, your experienced and knowledgable guide will introduce you to how Art Nouveau evolved out of the styles of the 19th century, why it was so revolutional, and how the style is in many ways the birth of modern aesthetics and architecture. Furthermore, you will find out about how cubism was started as a revolt against the popular Art Nouveau, but how they both didn't survive the many changes brought by World War I.
Not only you will see beautiful places of Prague you otherwise would have never visited and see details you would walk past without noticing them, but the narrative of the tour will introduce you to a specific era that is still recent enough to be understandable, yet old enough to be already exotic.
You will find out about how modern architects and their works cemented the legacy of ancient architecture of Prague and helped to preserve it.
This is the perfect tour if you already have been to Prague before and want to discover something alternative, or if you are in the city for a week and want to discover the hidden stuff along with the highlights.
After spending substantial time around the downtown area of Prague, the tour takes public transportation for a short ride to a more remote area under the Vyšehrad fortress, where the most daring cubist architecture is hiding in a unique area.
At the end of the tour, there is a tram stop conveniently located nearby where you can catch a ride back to the downtown area (the tickets there and back are included in the price of the tour).
