Czech Republic: Prague – Lesser Town; Malá Strana
The Lesser Town, (Mala Strana) also known as the Lesser or Little Quarter, clusters around the foothills of Prague Castle, across the Vltava River from the Old Town. Here you will find delightfully cobbled streets, cosy bars and restaurants and brightly painted stucco buildings. The atmosphere is less phrenetic than the Old Town and if you are looking for some peace and quiet head to Prague's Mala Strana.

Czech Republic: Prague – Three Day Itinerary
Prague is a fascinating place to visit and there are so many things to do and see. We were lucky enough to be able to spend 2 days exploring this amazing city. Luckily, the city has survived many of the ravages that have befallen many other cities in Central Europe, so it retains much of its original charm and beauty.
Czech Republic: Prague – Old Town
Prague has many fascinating places to visit, none more so than Old Town Square. Here you will find some incredible buildings from municipal offices to churches to stunning palaces. It is also where you will find the famous astronomical clock. This is the heart of the city, hosting many public events throughout the year.
Czech Republic: Prague – Sex Machines Museum
I am always on the lookout for unusual places to visit and in my research, before visiting Prague, the Sex Machines Museum jumped out at me. It was not something I expected to find in Prague, especially with its location in the heart of the Old Town of Prague, close to the main square.
Czech Republic: Prague – The Alphonse Mucha museum
Mucha's artwork can be found in many places in Prague including the Municipal House, the National art gallery, and even his design of a stained-glass window in the St. Vitus’ Cathedral in Prague. But there is no better place to go to see Mucha's famous art than the Mucha museum in the centre of Prague.
Czech Republic: Prague – U Páva Hotel
For our stay in Prague we wanted to stay close to city centre as we planned to walk everywhere. After looking around on hotel booking websites I decided to book a room at U Páva - which means 'At the Peacock' in Czech. The hotel is ideally placed to explore the surrounding markets, museums and historic buildings of Mala Strana, but it's also just a 15-minute stroll across the bridge to the Old Town. It is only a 10-minute walk to Prague Castle.
