Malá Strana

Historic serenity beneath Prague Castle

One of Prague’s oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods, Malá Strana invites you to wander cobbled streets, peek into baroque churches, and savor riverside views.

Malá Strana, or “Lesser Town,” is one of the most charming and historic neighborhoods in Prague, which lies beneath the towering Prague Castle. Known for its beautiful Baroque architecture, winding cobblestone streets, and picturesque views, Malá Strana offers a quieter, more intimate atmosphere compared to the bustling Old Town.
