Petschek Villa

This stately palace in Bubeneč, home to the U.S. ambassador, creates another vital link to the American thread of the novel.

Prague Castle

Katherine Solomon, Langdon’s partner, delivers her lecture at Prague Castle – the city’s most iconic symbol of power and history.

Old-New Synagogue & Jewish Cemetery

No mysterious tale set in Prague would be complete without the Jewish Quarter. These landmarks are bound to the legend of the Golem, which Brown skillfully weaves into his narrative.

Wallenstein Garden

An oasis of calm with Baroque arcades, grottos, and sculptures – its enigmatic atmosphere seems written for Brown’s story.

Optional Stop – Black Angel’s Bar
