About this tour
This session covers a quiet Baroque lane and an embassy courtyard in Malá Strana, the district below the castle. You see the narrow lane's largely untouched character, then a grand house repurposed as an embassy. It is a walk through the quarter's quieter corners rather than its busier tourist route.
I keep a steady, practical pace throughout, since the district rewards noticing detail rather than rushing between landmarks. Questions come as we go, and I am happy to slow down at a facade if it interests you. A short note on which embassies are visible from the street follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants to see Prague's quieter, residential side. It also works well before or after a castle session, given the district's location.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
