MALA STRANA, Church Of Saint Nicholas

Hi, my name’s Rick, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world: Malà Strana, the “lesser town” of Prague, on the steep left bank of the Vltava River.

Malà Strana starts out from the end of Charles Bridge and runs along the steep, narrow strip of hills between the Vltava and the Castle. The visitor has the impression that nothing has been built here since the 18th century: Baroque decorations, sophisticated details, centuries-old signs and antique shops all contribute to the extraordinary elegance of the neighborhood.

Here you’ll find a series of gardens, fine buildings and churches, featuring a delightful assortment of stairways, balconies, cupolas and spires, enhanced by the unusual perspectives offered by the steeply sloping streets and the presence of statues, columns, portals and tabernacles....
