Golden Lane
What people say
Alba Casillas
"The Golden Lane originated after the construction of a new northern wall of the castle. The area of the northern parade ground was used for the construction of modest dwellings, which today are the last remnants of Prague Castle's small-scale architecture.
In addition to visiting Kafka's House at number 22, which is dedicated to its famous former inhabitant, you can also take a look inside one of the many print, jewellery and print shops along the street. You'll also find art galleries, quaint puppet shops and exhibition halls that shed light on the history of the area."

"Golden Lane features small, colorful cottages from the 1950s. In the 19th century, part of the street was demolished, but it remains accessible after Prague Castle's interior closes. Today, some cottages serve as souvenir shops, and the lane leads to a medieval armory museum housed in a former 14th-century stronghold."
