Walking routes in Prague
Prague divides at the river and the division is the whole plan: the Old Town on the east bank is flat and dense, the castle side is a hill. Both routes below cross Charles Bridge, one finishing on it and one starting there, and both are ordered so the climb happens once.
Wenceslas Square through the Old Town and Josefov, finishing on the bridge as the light goes.

The Dancing House, the riverside embankment, the Cubist houses and the other castle, with its basilica and the cemetery of the nation's artists.
