- Wallenstein Palace Gardens - Renowned as one of Europe’s most famous baroque gardens, it was commissioned by Albrecht of Wallenstein, the commander-in-chief of the Habsburg armies during the Thirty Years’ War. Visitors can enjoy fountains, an artificial pond with exotic fish, peacocks, sculptures, and an aviary with birds of prey. On Saturdays, visits to Wallenstein Palace are also included.
- Nerudova Street - The main thoroughfare of the Lesser Quarter, stretching from Prague Castle to Lesser Quarter Square. Architecturally reminiscent of 300 years ago, it features upscale bourgeois houses and is now filled with craft and antique shops, cafes, and restaurants, each with its own story.
- Nový Svět - Known as the New World, this is Prague’s most romantic street and is often regarded as the top hidden gem by travelers. Time appears to have stood still here for 400 years, with irregular cobblestones bordered by an ancient city wall and moat on one side, and quaint dwelling houses on the other. It was once frequented by royal servants, including Tycho Brahe, a pioneer of astronomy. In more recent times, it has attracted artists and craftsmen, including the renowned filmmaker Jan Švankmajer (“Something from Alice”, “Faust”).
- Strahov Monastery Complex - The second oldest monastery in Prague, founded in the 12th century, but its current baroque appearance dates to the 17th century. Perched on a hill above the Lesser Quarter, it offers a breathtaking panorama of Prague. The complex includes a world-famous library hall, a beautiful cathedral, and a brewery. Interior visits are not included.
- Loretánské náměstí - Loreto Square may seem a bit quiet, 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. Visits to Loreto are possible but not included.
- The Gardens Below Prague Castle - A collection of baroque gardens on the slopes descending from Castle Hill, offering a peaceful and beautiful oasis in the heart of Prague, with stunning city views. Admission is 160 CZK (6.5 EUR), not included.
- The Vrtba Garden - A baroque garden architecture masterpiece, this hidden gem is tucked away behind an ordinary street gate and is a haven for photographers. Admission is 150 CZK (6 EUR), not included.
- Vojanovy Sady - Prague’s oldest orchard, dating back to the 12th century. It’s rare to find a big city where you can pick apples or pears just 200 meters from its central point (Charles Bridge). Nearby, there’s an iconic spot on the Vltava River, famous for its view of the Old Town skyline and the swans and other river creatures that swim there.
- Church of Our Lady Victorious - Home to one of Prague’s legends, the Baby (Infant) Jesus, an effigy originating from 15th-century Spain, which arrived in Prague some hundred years later and is credited with numerous miracles. Many visitors from around the world come to see it and pray for wonders. The tradition involves dressing the statue in different robes, with its wardrobe boasting over 300 garments.
- Royal Garden - Part of the Prague Castle, this garden features several architectural masterpieces, such as Queen Anna’s Summer Palace and the Ball Playing Hall. This is an optional point.
- Písecká brána - The Pisek Gate is a city gate that was part of a new-age fortification system built in the first half of the 18th century and demolished at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
