An after-dark legends walk of the Old Town lanes — best done with McGee's, Prague's original (2007) dedicated ghost-tour operator, not a tip-based 'free' tour.

Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Prague's foggy, gas-lit lanes are tailor-made for it, and a proven operator like McGee's (the city's original dedicated ghost-tour company, since 2007) makes the Golem-and-alchemist legends genuinely atmospheric.
Not independently verified — estimated
The routes heavily overlap the same Old Town streets the daytime free walking tours already cover, so you retread familiar ground; it's light entertainment dressed as history with deliberately tame 'scares'.

What it feels like
Reading the room, traveller by traveller
With friends
A fun, atmospheric after-dark hour with McGee's — book by name rather than grabbing a tip-based 'free' tour.
Multigenerational
Fine for older kids and teens; the scares are mild, though it covers streets you'll likely have already walked.
As a couple
A moody legends walk if you're in the mood — go for the storytelling, not for new corners of the city.
