Tag: Little Quarter

FEATURED

Walking through the old streets of Prague, you might discover that many houses you’ll pass are marked with strange symbols above their entryways. These are the famous Prague house signs. House signs were a popular method of identifying guilds, businesses, and palaces worldwide before the numbering system of city planning was implemented.

One of my favourite parts of Prague was Malá Strana, or “Lesser Quarter”. Mala Strana itself is divided between the lower and upper halves of the hill. The upper half consists of Prague Castle, which is where the majority of tourists flock, with good reason, but the rest of Lower Town has a more subdued vibe. With less big-ticket attractions, you’ll find that there are slightly fewer tourists along these streets. But this area is still filled with historic Burgher houses, astonishing churches and adorable cafes and restaurants.
