- Malostranské náměstí - The historic center of Malá Strana, Malostranské náměstí has been the district’s marketplace and social hub for centuries. Today, it remains a vibrant intersection beneath the dome of St. Nicholas Church, where daily life and Baroque architecture converge.
- Wallenstein Palace Gardens - Among Prague’s most stunning Baroque gardens, commissioned by Albrecht of Wallenstein, the Habsburg armies’ commander-in-chief during the Thirty Years’ War. Established in the early 17th century as part of his expansive residence, the garden mirrors his grand political aspirations.
Here, visitors can enjoy fountains, an artificial pond with large fish, freely roaming peacocks, sculptures, and an aviary with birds of prey. The long arcade of the sala terrena and the dramatic grotto wall lend the space its unique character — a place where military and political power was artfully transformed into architecture and art.
- Nerudova Street - Nerudova Street is the main thoroughfare of Malá Strana, descending from Prague Castle toward Malostranské Square. Named after Jan Neruda, a pioneer of modern Czech literature and the author of Tales of Malá Strana, the street retains much of its Baroque charm. Before house numbers were introduced, buildings were identified by decorative signs — many of which still adorn the doors today.
Visitors can stroll leisurely down the street, admiring these historic house signs, observing architectural details, and exploring small craft workshops and antique shops.
- Nový Svět - Nový Svět - New World - is Prague’s most romantic street. It is unanimously regarded as the top hidden gem in Prague by travelers. Time appears to have stood still here for 400 years. Irregular cobblestones flanked by an ancient city wall and moat on one side, and by quaint dwelling houses on the other, recall the days when the king’s servants, such as Tycho Brahe, one of the fathers of astronomy, walked here. In more recent times, it has attracted artists and craftsmen, including the renowned filmmaker Jan Švankmajer (“Something from Alice”, “Faust”).

Loretánské náměstí - Loreto Square may seem a bit tranquil, but it boasts three landmarks: the largest secular Baroque building in Prague (Černin Palace, now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) with an adjacent garden, the Capuchin cloister, and Loreto itself.
Visiting Loreto is possible, but not included. - The Vrtba Garden - A masterpiece of Baroque garden architecture, a hidden gem tucked away behind an ordinary street gate, and a haven for photographers. Created in the early 18th century on a steep hillside, Vrtba Garden unfolds in elegant terraces connected by staircases and framed by sculpted balustrades.
Visitors can gradually explore its layered levels, pause at panoramic viewpoints overlooking the red rooftops of Malá Strana, and observe how Baroque design carefully directs perspective toward the Castle. There will be time to enjoy the setting, notice architectural details, and take photographs.
Entrance is included.
- Vojanovy Sady - The oldest orchard in Prague, dating back to the 12th century. There is hardly another major city in the world where one can pick apples or pears just 200 meters from its central point (Charles Bridge). A few steps away, there is an iconic spot on the Vltava River, famous for its view of the Old Town skyline, and for the swans and other river creatures that swim there.
- Church of Our Lady Victorious - The Church of Our Lady Victorious houses one of Prague’s most renowned devotional figures, the Infant Jesus of Prague. The statue, believed to have originated in 16th-century Spain, was brought to Prague in the early 17th century and later became associated with numerous reported miracles.
Pilgrims from around the world visit the church to see the statue and pray. A long-standing tradition involves dressing the Infant Jesus in different robes; today, its wardrobe includes more than 300 garments donated by devotees.
- St. Nicholas Church - Constructed in the first half of the 18th century, St. Nicholas Church is one of the most significant High Baroque monuments in Prague and among the finest north of the Alps. Its grand yet graceful dome dominates the Malá Strana skyline, while the interior embodies the theatrical principles of Baroque architecture, where space, light, and painting merge into a unified composition. The historic organ once played by Mozart is still preserved here. Entrance is included.
