Walks in Staré Město
Old Town Square: the clock, the spires, the crush before it arrives
Beat the Orloj crowd: the medieval square, the Týn spires, and Celetná to the Powder Tower.
The Clementinum and the lanes between the square and the bridge
The baroque library hall, the lanes off Karlova, and where Jan Hus actually preached.

Sorted by distance from the start of old town square: the clock, the spires, the crush before it arrives. Good for stitching together a longer day.
Charles Bridge at dawn, then down to Kampa
Cross the bridge at first light, before the statues belong to anyone else, then drop to Kampa.
Josefov: the Jewish Quarter, told straight
The oldest active synagogue in Europe, the layered cemetery, and a memorial wall of names.
Letná: the plateau, the plinth, and the metronome
The park above the river, where the world's largest Stalin once stood and a giant metronome now ticks.
Malá Strana: the baroque terrace gardens
Wallenstein's peacocks, the terraced gardens climbing the castle hill, and the Vrtba view.
