Indagare Tours: Little Town, Mala Strana

Explore the Mala Strana district with one of Prague’s expert guides, (the Lesser Town or Little Quarter) which clusters around the foothills of Prague Castle, on the opposite side of the river to the Old Town. Almost too picturesque for its own good - with its ancient burgher houses, quaint side streets and St. Nicholas Church - Mala Strana is a favorite setting for films and commercials. At the heart of Mala Strana is a baroque square, Malastranske Namesti. Here, and all around in the cobblestone side streets, there is plenty to explore in the small boutique shops, churches, traditional Czech pubs and restaurants, some located in ancient cellars, others offering fine views of the river.

If interested, continue on to the Kafka Museum which takes you into the world of Franz Kafka, world-renowned representative of Prague German literature, and one of the most significant prose writers in 20th-century world literature. This long-term exhibition presents most of the first editions of his works, letters, diaries, manuscripts, photographs and drawings never before displayed in Prague; 3-D installations and five audiovisual pieces and a soundtrack specially created for the exhibition.
