Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the largest city of the Czech Republic with rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture, nicknamed the "city of a Hundred Spires" due to the towers, turrets, and steeples that paint its skyline.

Alternatively, take a shorter walk to see highlights of the Old Town, including the Astronomical Clock installed in 1410, (the oldest astronomical clock still in operation) and a visit to City Hall of Prague.

Nuremberg, Germany

As the second-largest city in Bavaria (after Munich), Nuremberg is an impressive, colorful, and mighty town, first mentioned in documents dating back to 1050. Today's walking tour choices offer a deeper insight into its history, both above and below ground. First, choose either to join our local guide on an underground tour, where you'll explore the labyrinthine tunnels built in the 1380s - used originally for fermenting and storing beer for the city's 40 breweries, and later as WWII air raid bunkers - and view the Imperial Castle, dominating the skyline since its construction in 1140 during Emperor Konrad III's reign. Alternatively, remain above ground for a walking tour featuring Nuremberg's well-preserved landmarks, such as ornately decorated churches and the Old Town walls.

Frankfurt, Germany

As the largest financial hub in Europe, Frankfurt is considered a global city. Downtown has many high-rise buildings that form its renowned Frankfurt skyline, and is one of the few cities in the European Union to have such a skyline.

Many central locations in Frankfurt have been restored to its original architectural style, and today you'll have the choice to explore these quarters on walking tours; one is more active to view historic cathedrals, and ornately gabled half-timbered houses lining picturesque streets and squares, and learn about its role post WWII. Along the way you'll taste local culinary products before finishing the tour by the Old Town Square. Alternatively, set off on a more leisurely walking tour of the Old Town Square, also enjoying local goods as you explore.
