Malá Strana

Malá Strana, also known as Lesser Town, is one of the oldest districts of Prague. It was founded in 1257 at the feet of Hradčany, the Castle District, and is separated from Staré Město by the Charles Bridge.

Visitors will be surprised by the preservation of the buildings and monuments when walking through Malá Strana. It seems like the conflicts and several uprisings that have taken place in the heart of Prague throughout the centuries have left no trace in this area, and the palaces, squares and churches are just like they were when they were first built.
