The Plague Doctor of Prague
Prague, Czech Republic
1 hour 30 minutes
What You Will Do
During this unique experience we explore the city from a point of view of a plague doctor who worked in the city between the years 1713-1715. What can we learn from the plague and how did it finish? What were the prevention methods and how did a typical day of a plague doctor looked like? We visit hidden gems of the city and know the quiet and dark spots of Prague, besides some gruesome facts we also have fun in this experience during the times of the Black Death.
After our online success as seen by New York Times, Vogue and Forbes we are back on the streets now to find a cure!
