As you stroll along the elegant streets of Mala Strana, you'll begin your journey through Prague's imperial history. This area, once guarded by ancient city walls, offers breathtaking views of the historic center, with its palaces and churches standing as testaments to the city's golden age. One of the first stops is the Cernin Palace, now home to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where you'll learn about its connection to figures like Jan Masaryk and Edvard Beneš. Nearby, the Church of Our Lady of the Angels tells its own tale, with bullet marks on its facade serving as a silent reminder of Prague's tumultuous history. As the tour continues, you'll walk through the New World Street (Nový Svět), where the charm of old Prague is palpable in every building, including the magnificent Schwarzenberg Palace and the former Lobkowitz Palace, each with its own story to tell.
