Despre activitate
Discover Malá Strana, Prague’s unique Baroque district preserved for over 300 years beneath the Castle. Unlike many European quarters reshaped by modern development, it has retained noble palaces, quiet courtyards, monastery gardens, and cobbled streets almost unchanged since the 18th century.
During the 20th century, the quarter acquired a bohemian character, becoming a favorite among artists and intellectuals. Today, small galleries, antique shops, cafés, wineries, and pubs maintain this atmosphere within centuries-old buildings.
On this curated 3-hour walk, we’ll step inside the magnificent St. Nicholas Church, visit the lavish Vrtba Garden with rooftop views, wander through Prague’s oldest orchard, notice historic house signs that once replaced street numbers, and touch on Jan Neruda’s Tales of Malá Strana, capturing the neighborhood’s spirit.
We’ll pause at a small local café or pub to enjoy the atmosphere (drinks typically €2–5, not included).
All entrance fees are included.

Malostranske namesti
15 min
The historic heart of Malá Strana, Malostranské náměstí has served as the district’s marketplace and gathering space for centuries. Today it remains a crossroads beneath the dome of St. Nicholas Church, where daily life and Baroque architecture meet.

One of Prague’s most impressive Baroque gardens, commissioned by Albrecht of Wallenstein, commander-in-chief of the Habsburg armies during the Thirty Years’ War. Created in the early 17th century as part of his vast residence, the garden reflects the scale of his political ambition.
Here you’ll find fountains, an artificial pond with large fish, freely roaming peacocks, sculptures, and an aviary with birds of prey. The long arcade of the sala terrena and the dramatic grotto wall give the space its distinctive character — a place where military and political power was deliberately transformed into architecture and art..

Nerudova Street is the main artery of Malá Strana, descending from Prague Castle toward Malostranské Square. Named after Jan Neruda, one of the founders of modern Czech literature and the author of Tales of Malá Strana, the street preserves much of its Baroque character. Before house numbers were introduced, buildings were identified by decorative signs — many of which still hang above the doors today.
We’ll walk slowly down the street, noticing these historic house signs, observing architectural details, and peeking into small craft workshops and antique shops.

Novy Svet
20 min
Nový Svět - New World - is the most romantic street in Prague. It is unanimously called #1 hidden gem in Prague by travelers. Time seems frozen here 400 years ago. Irregular cobblestones flanked by ancient city wall and moat on one side, and by dwarf dwelling houses on the other remember the times when here stepped servants of the king, eg, Ticho Brage, one of the fathers of astronomy. In more recent times, it attracted artists and craftsmen - there lived one of the world's most controversial filmmakers Jan Švankmajer ("Something from Alice", "Faust")

Loretanske Namesti
10 min
Loreto square seems a bit sleepy, but there are three landmarks there: the biggest secular baroque building in Prague (Černin Palace, now Ministry of Foreign Affairs) with adjacent garden, the Capuchin cloister and Loreto itself.
Visit to Loreto is possible, but not included.

30 min
A masterpiece of Baroque garden architecture, a hidden gem tucked away behind an ordinary street gate, and a mecca for photographers. Created in the early 18th century on a steep hillside, Vrtba Garden unfolds in elegant terraces connected by staircases and framed by sculpted balustrades.
We’ll move gradually through its layered levels, pause at panoramic viewpoints overlooking the red rooftops of Malá Strana, and observe how Baroque design carefully directs perspective toward the Castle. There will be time to enjoy the setting, notice architectural details, and take photographs.
Entrance included.

Vojanovy Sady
10 min
The oldest orchard of Prague, dating back to 12th century. There is hardly another big city in the world, where you can pick apples or pears 200 meters away from its central point (Charles Bridge). And few steps away, there is an iconic spot on Vltava river, famous for its view on Old Town skyline, and for swans and other river creatures that swim there.

Church of Our Lady Victorious
10 min
The Church of Our Lady Victorious is home to one of Prague’s most well-known devotional figures, the Infant Jesus of Prague. The statue, believed to originate from 16th-century Spain, was brought to Prague in the early 17th century and later became associated with numerous reported miracles.
Pilgrims from around the world visit the church to see the statue and pray. A long-standing tradition involves dressing the Infant Jesus in different robes; today, its wardrobe includes more than 300 garments donated by devotees.

Built in the first half of the 18th century, St. Nicholas Church is one of the most important High Baroque monuments in Prague and among the finest north of the Alps. Its massive yet elegant dome dominates the skyline of Malá Strana, while the interior reflects the theatrical principles of Baroque architecture, where space, light, and painting merge into a single composition. The historic organ once played by Mozart is still preserved here. Entrance is included.
