Description

Discover a different side of Prague on a small-group walking tour through the city's charming Little Quarter (Malá Strana), one of its most beautiful and historic neighborhoods. Away from the busy Old Town crowds, you'll explore hidden streets, peaceful courtyards, picturesque squares, and riverside corners that many visitors miss. This carefully designed route combines Prague's iconic sights with lesser-known places, creating the perfect balance between history, local culture, and authentic atmosphere. Walk through the heart of the Little Quarter as your guide shares fascinating stories, local legends, folklore, and insights into everyday life in Prague. Along the way, you'll discover elegant Baroque architecture, traditional house signs, hidden passages, and the unique character that makes this neighborhood so different from the bustling city center across the river. Highlights of the tour include Malostranské Square, St. Nicholas Church, charming Nerudova Street, Kampa Island, the John Lennon Wall, scenic riverside viewpoints, and the famous Church of Our Lady Victorious, home to the celebrated Infant Jesus of Prague.

Designed for small groups and a relaxed pace, this experience offers a more personal and immersive way to discover Prague.
