The Lesser Quarter is also known by its Czech name: Mala Strana. Hotels in the Lesser Quarter are overlooked by Hradcany, Prague’s castle and cathedral complex. Hotels can be found nestled in the winding streets of Mala Strana, among the magnificent houses and places that line the streets.
Hotels in the Lesser Quarter area of Prague are ideally situated for exploring Prague castle and cathedral complex as well as visiting Petrin Hill which also overlooks the area. Petrin Hill is home to Prague’s mini Eiffel Tower, a popular spot for those with children. The views from the Tower are spectacular and the area is particularly nice with lots of green space.
Other attractions that Petrin Hill offers children are the funicular railway, a planetarium, an observatory as well as a Mirror Maze. For families with children , a Prague hotel in this area would be useful when they grow tired of the Baroque architecture and Prague’s famous squares!
Lesser Quarter hotels are still within walking distance of the Old and New Town areas, linked by the Charles Bridge. Closer again is greatest Baroque style church in Prague: the Church of St Nicholas. This grand church dominates the Lesser Quarter Square and is something to behold from its exterior and interior. Visitors staying in Prague hotels in the Lesser Quarter area are ideally located for attending concerts and organ recitals taking place in the Church of St Nicholas or for simply taking in its wonderful frescoes and Baroque architecture.
