Why Lesser Town matters
Mala Strana is where Prague grows quieter. Baroque palaces, shady gardens and cobbled lanes lead up toward the castle, with the dome of St Nicholas Church rising above the rooftops. Great for wandering after the Old Town crowds.
Talking points
- St Nicholas Church is one of the finest baroque churches in the city.
- Many embassies are based here in historic palaces.
- Quiet side streets offer cafes and views.
