About Prahou
Through
Prague,
on foot
Prahou means “through Prague” in Czech, and that’s exactly what this site is about: getting out and walking through the city, not just looking at it from a tour bus.
Who’s behind Prahou
The guide I’d give a friend
Hi, I’m Francesco. I live in Prague, and Prahou started as a simple idea: to write the kind of guide I’d want to give a friend visiting for the first time. It should be honest and practical, and go beyond the Charles Bridge selfie.
