A visit to Prague is a fascinating pilgrimage into the depths of time, an
encounter with the famous people who lived here centuries ago. Its
architecture is cosmopolitan without losing its local flavour. Different styles
can be found here side by side, like variations on the same theme. Motifs
from all corners of Europe come together in Prague and create a unique
synthesis with its own special feel for heaven and earth. Each of the seasons
brings to the city its own distinctive charm.
This is where St. Agnes of Bohemia fought her inner struggle, making
her choice between a life of royal luxury and a life consecrated to God and
the service of others in poverty and humility.
Here in the shadow of the ghetto Rabbi Löw wrote his scientific
treatises and perhaps, too, created the Golem of legend, an artificial being.
Here Johannes Kepler worked out his laws, which govern the movement of
the heavenly bodies.
This is where Franz Kafka wandered through the alleyways and hatched
the plots for his novels.
In this city Albert Einstein gave lectures on his theory of
relativity.
It was here that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart passed the happiest days of
his life.
The city, through whose streets walked Beethoven, Chopin, Edison, Schweitzer,
and many others. The city, whose visitors also included Mother Theresa of
Calcutta and the Holy Father John Paul II, who has visited Prague three
times.
Would you like to join them and follow in their footsteps? Would you like to
become familiar with the secrets of this city?

As the historical parts of Prague are mostly not accessible to coaches or
cars, we mainly make use of the excellent Prague public transport system to
travel from your hotel to the historical centre. Travel costs in this case
are negligible. If you are interested, however, we can also recommend or
reserve coaches for groups or taxis at very reasonable prices.
Once you let us know what you want to see, then we can work out a price. Do
not hesitate to send us an e-mail (pilgrimages@centrum.cz) and ask for further details.
Guides
We have attended training courses for guides in Prague and also more
specialised courses concentrating on Prague Castle and the Jewish Quarter
(organised by the Jewish Museum), all of which we have successfully completed
by passing examinations and being issued with an official guide's license. We
are thus highly trained professionals.
We have a wealth of experience in working as guides. We have been guiding
visitors to Prague for over 15 years.
We include members of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites.
We have acted as guides to the Father General of the Order of Discalced
Carmelites and other visitors to the Carmelite monastery of the Infant Jesus
of Prague, guests of several embassies including the American and Philippines
Embassies, participants in various ecumenical meetings, and thousands of
other visitors from all over the world.
