Malá Strana walking loops — baroque lanes below the castle

Below the castle, Mala Strana descends in baroque curves — churches with green copper domes, embassy gardens you can glimpse through iron gates, and Charles Bridge delivering a continuous stream of visitors into Mostecka street. The quieter lanes off the main routes reveal pocket-sized squares and beer gardens tucked behind stone walls. Nerudova street climbs steeply toward the castle, its house signs — two suns, a golden key, a red eagle — predating street numbers by centuries. Gravity works differently here; everything tilts upward.
