If you are a fan of musical performances, then this tour is for you. We offer an excellent introduction to unforgettable Krizks Music Fountain, which was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a fantastic performance of water and light followed by music. About the fountain: In 1891, the citizens of Prague used their first electric tram track going from Letna to Stromovka, where the World Exhibition took place. The most notable exhibit at the Exposition was then an electrically-lit fountain, constructed by the "Czech Edison Frantisek Krizik. The present fountain has, as its basis, the reconstructed li3S Hp fountain design, which saw the light a hundred years later in 1991. In the 19th century, the bottom of the fountain plate was equipped with fifty multicolored reflectors. Today, the fountain has 1,300 of them, making the magical play of the light possible. The 25 x 25-meter fountain pool can hold up to 1650 cubic meters of water and the water circuits (composed of more than 2 kilometers of pipes) with almost 3.000 nozzles are managed by 49 water pumps. The time and age have also brought about other technical novelties and refinements, such as the projection of images on the water screen, film projection on the water screen, or laser effects. The auditorium has perfect sound thanks to the fifty-five electro-acoustic transmitters. The Light Fountain became a unique and popular sensation of the Exposition 100 years ago. Today, one of the most notable structures of Prague's Exhibition grounds remains one of the greatest tourist attractions of the hundred-spired Prague. From November 1 to March 31 this is only an evening tour of Prague. The Kriziks Fountain is closed.
