The Golden Lane

  The Golden Lane, nestled near Prague Castle, is a charming historic street that dates back to the late 15th century. Originally housing the castle guards and goldsmiths, this picturesque lane features a series of quaint, colorful houses, each representing a slice of Prague’s storied past. Visitors can explore the small museums, including a fascinating exhibit dedicated to the famous author Franz Kafka, who lived nearby. In December, the lane is particularly delightful as it transforms into a festive haven with holiday decorations and seasonal markets. As you stroll along, take in the unique architecture and enjoy some local crafts showcased in the tiny shops lining the street.
