Mala Strana (Lesser Quarter)
Malá Strana (Lesser Quarter)
The "Lesser Quarter" is full of winding cobblestone streets and baroque buildings, including numerous foreign embassies and stately palaces, virtually untouched since the 18th century. Go left and you will find sculpted house signs, which are works of art in their own right; go right, and you will be greeted by a statue of a saint holding a golden staff at the entrance to a church. For a break, look for one of the many gardens that are tucked into the neighborhood.
