The fairytale-like Malá Strana district is, for me, the essence of Prague: getting lost in the maze of narrow streets and marvelling at the beautiful facades.
The picturesque Malá Strana district lies at the foot of Prague Castle. You can wander endlessly through its Baroque streets, where one façade is even more beautiful than the next. This photogenic district is a popular film location, even among Hollywood directors.
You’ll find plenty of religious history here, such as the wax statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague in St Mary Victoria’s Church. 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.
