Prague Evening Walk to the New Christmas Tree | Old Town Square | 4K HDR

Prague woke up today without a trace of yesterday's snowfall — a familiar winter story for this city. The air is cold, the sky is clear, and the first signs of Christmas are beginning to appear. This evening, we head to Old Town Square to see the newly installed Christmas tree before the market officially opens. The decorations are being prepared, the lights are slowly appearing, and Prague is gently slipping into the festive season. Join me for a calm evening walk through the city.

For automobile traffic, this segment is one-way upstream. Subsequently, the traffic is bidirectional from the Čech Bridge up to the Štefánik Bridge. It is essential to maintain communication, even though it belongs to the touristy centre. Adjacent to the embankment is the hospital and monastery complex called Na Františku. The segment of the waterfront from today's Pařížská Street to Dušní Street used to be part of Sanytrová Street up until the 19th century. There used to be a spa on the embankment, yards with timber storage, and saltpetre production. Dvořák Embankment was built in 1904 and has been called Dvořákovo since then. However, Iatsome points out that its entire eastern segment was called Street Na Františku. There are two significant buildings on the embankment – the Faculty of Law of Charles University, built by architect Ladislav Machoň from 1928 to 1929, and the building of the Conservatory. https://goo.gl/maps/ysgc94LSYCSDHvHB6 The Old Town Square is Prague's oldest and most important square. It is surrounded by historical buildings such as the Old Town City Hall with the famous Astronomical Clock, the imposing St. Nicholas Church, and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, as well as many houses and palaces of various architectural styles and colourful history. It has been a centre of Prague's Old Town since the Middle Ages, a marketplace that crossed European merchants' routes. The first houses were built around Old Town Square in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some present homes still have Romanesque or Gothic foundations, basements, or ground floors. The Old Town City Hall was built in the 14th century, and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn a little later. Old Town Square became the economic and political centre of Prague's Old Town. https://goo.gl/maps/5p7mgsjJ9zqtHYAC9 Pařížská Street traverses the Jewish Town of Prague, connecting Old Town Square with Čechův Bridge. It is lined with stately townhouses whose façades combine historicist features with Art Nouveau decorative detail. Pařížská Street in Prague is the most prestigious boulevard, home to a wide range of luxury boutiques representing the world's most prominent fashion brands. https://goo.gl/maps/szRUrVPscXz184HC9 Josefov (Jewish Quarter) is a town quarter and the smallest cadastral area of Prague, Czech Republic. It was formerly the town's Jewish ghetto. The Old Town surrounds it. The Quarter is represented by the flag of Prague's Jewish community, a yellow Magen David (Star of David) on a red field. Jews are believed to have settled in Prague as early as the 10th century. The first pogrom was in 1096 (the first crusade), and eventually, they were concentrated within a walled Ghetto. In 1262, Přemysl Otakar II issued a Statuta Judaeorum, which granted the community a degree of self-administration. In 1389, one of the worst pogroms saw 1,500 massacred on Easter Sunday. The ghetto was at its most prosperous towards the end of the 16th century, when the Jewish Mayor, Mordecai Maisel, became the Minister of Finance and a wealthy man. His money helped develop the ghetto. In 1850, the Quarter Josefstadt (Joseph's City), named after Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor, was emancipated with the Toleration Edict in 1781. Two years before Jews were allowed to settle outside of the city, the share of the Jewish population in Josefov decreased, while only Orthodox and poor Jews remained living there Most of the Quarter was demolished between 1893 and 1913 as part of an initiative to model the city on Paris. What was left were only six synagogues, the old cemetery, and the Old Jewish Town Hall (now all part of the Jewish Museum in Prague and described below). https://goo.gl/maps/D2FkvZF42DUn7ZBZ6 Join the membership of the channel:    / @perceptionphilosophy   Instagram:   / perceptionphilosophy   Recorded in 4k HDR November 27, 2025 Perception Philosophy © 2025 Czech Republic
