    Lucie was an amazing guide. Her explanations were colourful and really well done. I would highly recommend this tour - you get to see 4 different areas of the castle and are able to understand what they are and were used for. We had a fantastic time.

More information

Golden Lane is one of Prague’s most enchanting streets, tucked away within the walls of Prague Castle. Filled with colourful houses that look like something out of a fairy tale, this tiny street invites visitors to take a step back in time. Wander down the cobblestone path, peek into the charming homes, and soak up the unique atmosphere that has inspired legends and stories for centuries.

A Glimpse into the Past

The Lane dates back to the 16th century and was originally built for castle guards and marksmen. Later, it became famous for housing goldsmiths, lending the street its intriguing name. Over the years, it has attracted writers, artists, and dreamers – most famously Franz Kafka, whose former residence is now a must-see spot on the street.

When to Go

This picturesque spot delights visitors all year round. In spring and summer, the colourful houses shine brightly under the sun and flowers bloom in the windowsills. Autumn brings a golden hue to the surroundings, while winter adds a magical touch with a dusting of snow and fewer crowds.

Is photography allowed?

Yes, you can take photos along the Lane, but remember that some interiors and museum displays might have restrictions. Always check for signs before snapping pictures inside.

Tips for Visitors

Try to arrive early or later in the day to avoid the busiest hours. The Lane is part of the castle grounds, so consider combining your visit with other nearby sights for a full day of exploration.
