Charm and Beauty of Lesser Quarter
Discover the charm of Prague’s Lesser Quarter – a baroque gem nestled beneath the Castle, once home to knights and noblemen, now a haven for artists and explorers. Nearly untouched for 300 years, this enchanting area offers cobbled lanes, grand palaces, quaint artisans' homes, and hidden gardens. We’ll wander scenic paths, uncover antiques and crafts, enjoy panoramic views, and optionally pause for coffee or beer in cozy spots. You’ll learn about the fascinating history of Lesser Town and Prague, meet historical figures tied to the area, and explore Czech culture, art, and traditions. Our walk may end with an optional lunch in a quiet courtyard beneath ivy-covered balconies. Slow down, look closer, and let history come alive. This summer tour is tip-based with a small booking fee. Entrance fees (min. 2×6 €) and food are extra, but flexible. On a tight budget? Let me know when booking – we’ll make it work!
