Dan Brown’s New Book Takes Readers to Prague

This fall brings exciting news for both book lovers and travelers: Dan Brown has just released his latest novel, The Secret of Secrets, and Prague plays a starring role.

Robert Langdon, the Harvard symbologist we know from The Da Vinci Code, finds himself in Prague, drawn into a mystery that blends science, history, and symbols hidden in plain sight. From the quiet corners of the Jewish Quarter to the soaring towers of St. Vitus Cathedral, the story uses the city’s layers of history as a backdrop for suspense.

Some of the places mentioned will feel familiar to anyone who has walked through Prague. Charles Bridge at dawn, the Baroque library at the Klementinum, winding medieval lanes, and the Gothic drama of Old Town create an atmosphere that feels tailor-made for Brown’s style. Others are little-known gems, so hidden that even many Prague locals have never stepped inside.

With The Secret of Secrets, Dan Brown shows that Prague is more than a picturesque stop in Europe; it’s a city of mysteries, symbols, and stories waiting to be uncovered. And now, it has its own place in the world of Brown’s thrillers.
