Today the weather is not the best, but we will take a walk through the streets of Prague anyway! We will go from the Faust House, on Charles Square (Karlovo náměstí), towards the Vltava river and finish on Slavansky Island!

Faust House (Faustův dům). A baroque palace is called so due to a legend associated with it. The legend is probably based on the historical figure of English alchemist Edward Kelley, a friend of John Dee and Elisabeth I of England who stayed on the court of Emperor Rudolph II. Nowadays, it is used as a faculty hospital of Charles University.

The Slavonic island became an actual island after the great flood of 1784 when it was secured with a low embankment and trees were planted among the shrubs. This created an island 250 meters long and 100 meters wide. Leather dyers moved onto the island from the New Town, bringing their work with them, and the island was initially named Dyers’ Island.

Zofin Palace (Žofín) is a Neo-Renaissance building in Prague, in the Czech Republic. It is a cultural center, a venue for concerts, balls, conferences, and exhibitions. It is situated on Slovanský Ostrov [cs] (Slavonic Island), an island in the Vltava river in New Town, Prague. Václav Novotny created a Neo-Renaissance building here in 1836–1837; it was named after Princess Sophie (Žofie in Czech), mother of Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. The single-story building had a concert hall, and social hall opened in 1837 with a ball. The Prague Slavic Congress was held here in 1848. In 1925, the island was renamed Slovanský Ostrov to commemorate the event. In 1884 the City of Prague bought the island, including the palace, rebuilt as a two-story building. The exterior and interior were renovated in 1991–1994.
