For me, the fairytale neighbourhood of Malá Strana is what Prague is all about: getting lost in the maze of narrow streets and marvelling at the beautiful façades.
The picturesque Malá Strana district lies at the foot of Prague Castle. You can wander endlessly through its Baroque streets, where each façade is more beautiful than the last. This photogenic neighbourhood is a favourite film location, even amongst Hollywood directors.
There is a wealth of religious history here, such as the wax statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague in the Church of St Mary Victoria. Other highlights include the graffiti wall in memory of John Lennon and interesting museums such as the Franz Kafka Museum, the Kampa Museum and the Montanelli Museum.
The neighbourhood is surrounded by greenery, with Petřín Hill to the south-west and Kampa Island along the river.
