 Taste with us the secret of the Eternal Youth Elixer and bring a small piece of its magical energy into your life.

The newly opened alchemical laboratories were discovered during the reconstruction of one of the oldest historical buildings in Prague on the street Haštalská number 1. This building is listed by UNESCO and by miracle this one has been preserved after the demolition of the Jewish quarter at the end of 19th century.

Visitors have the first opportunity to see places, where alchemists produced elixir of eternal youth, Philosopher’s Stone and non-precious metals changed into gold.

Rudolf II’s alchemical laboratory from the 16th century, hidden from unwanted glances of passers-by, will fascinate you with magical atmosphere, introduce you the medieval activities of alchemists, connected to many modern scientific fields.

  Tourist guide PRAGUE CITY LINE - Prague 1 (7,0 MiB, 18 132 hits)

Prague 1 still belongs to one of the most attractive parts of the whole Prague. Probably nowhere else you can find such a concentration of historic monuments and places where the history and romance of bygone times are all around you. Hardly anywhere you can walk on the same paths where were walking Franz Kafka, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the Golem of Prague.
