Halloween in Prague🎃 Night tour with Plague doctor of Prague

Prague boasts the romantic charm of its medieval Old Town during the day, but at night, a whole new side of the city quietly awakens. This time, we took a special nighttime guided tour: the Plague Doctor Tour, which took us on a journey back in time to 18th-century Prague. Besides experiencing the spooky atmosphere of amusement parks during Halloween, why not try a Prague nighttime guided tour and step into a truly terrifying historical experience? 👻 First Stop: Hello, Plague Doctor: The tour begins with an encounter with the "Plague Doctor," a figure in a robe and beaked mask, appearing in the darkness, instantly elevating the atmosphere. This costume, used for protection during the European plague, has become a classic Halloween horror symbol. 🕍 New Town Hall: The tour takes us to the ruins of an old monastery, once one of the epicenters of the Black Death. The dimly lit ancient buildings create a sense of time travel, as if you could hear the prayers and wails of yesteryear. 🏘️ Old Town Square: The square is bustling during the day, but at night, it becomes another world. The guide eloquently recounts the stories of merchants during the plague years, transforming the historic buildings into more than just tourist attractions, becoming a testament to the history of suffering and survival. ✒️ Franz Kafka Statue: In the historical story of plague and Jewish Prague, Kafka's presence is particularly fitting. At night, the statue casts a shadow, creating a silent, oppressive feeling that evokes the absurd atmosphere of his works. 🏥 St. Francis Hospital: This was once a place for treating plague patients. The guide whispers at night about the doctors' helplessness and the patients' fear, surrounded only by dim candlelight, creating the illusion of being on the set of a horror film. 🔥 End: St. Agnes: The tour concludes at St. Agnes Monastery, where you can take a photo with the "plague doctor." The torches and black-clad figures reflected on the stone walls create a truly special Halloween scene. #hellohalloween #czechtravel #travelwithtrip #halloween #Plaguedoctor #nighttour #darktourism #nightview #czechrepublic
