Your experience in Prague will never be complete if you do not see it from the top. Hillsides, stretched from the west to the north, provide spectacular views of greenish copper cupolas, narrow cobblestone streets, bridges connecting both river banks and green gardens from red-roof tops of centuries-old houses. Prague pulls you into its 1300 year old history. Walking up the hill or stairs to Prague Castle, the historical seat of Czech rulers and the majestic Saint Vitus Cathedral can leave you speechless (and out of breath). Luckily, plenty of terrace cafés overlooking gardens and beautiful parks are available to provide rest and a place to catch your breath again.

One of the most interesting street of Prague. Cobbled, not very wide, guarded by old buildings, it starts in Malostranske namesti square and goes up to Strahov Monastery. Turning right at one point, you can reach the castle, also.

Beautiful street, very vibrant with beautiful buildings. You cannot miss it if you go to and from Prague Castle to Lesser Town. Otherway it is a narrow street, circulated by cars and very easy become very crowded, especially when big guided groups of tourists are moving around.

A fundamental artery of the centre... we passed through it three times. It is the most important road in the Malastrana area. Furthermore, it is famous for its Baroque style facades. There are many house numbers worthy of note, from the house of the two suns, the house of the golden hoof, to the house of the three violins.

Solid selection of all genres literature in czech, english, german and french. Amazing offer of graphics, prints, posters, historic maps and memorabilia items. There are old vinyls (mostly ex-Czechoslovakian) too. Very knowledgeable seller and owner of a shop in one person - funny as well. Relieve stop when you are dragging yourself up the hill towards Prague castle.

This is a lovely cobblestoned street connecting Malostranske namesti square, Lesser town and leads up to the monastery and enables you to access the castle as well when you turn off it.
There are plenty of restaurants and bars along it, most of which are tourist traps and really overpriced, however, there are a few hidden gems if you do some research on this area. The "honest Guide" team on YouTube are good for this.
there are some lovely houses / palaces and churches on this street too.
If your in Prague and walking to the castle from the old town and come across from the Charles bridge, you'll probably walk straight up it.
Keep your head on a swivel as there is lots of nice scenery to see.

Our hotel was on Nerudova Street so we were already there each day. When we booked I thought there was a Christmas market in the area but that was not there this year, which was a bit disappointing.
The road is very steep but has some nice shops and restaurants so is worth a visit if nearby. Some of the shops and cafes do good rather flexible hours so it's worth checking if you have somewhere specific in mind

Nerudova street in Prague - one of the most iconic streets in the city - amongst others of-course - going from Malostranska square to the Prague Castle.
You can go up , or you can descend from the Castle towards the Lesser and Old Town of Prague (Charles Bridge maybe ...).
Why is it interesting - well the beautiful baroques style buildings - those today are home to embassies, hotels, cafés, restaurants, shops , you name it... the name of the street is taken from Jan Neruda, famous Czech writer and journalist (the house he lived in has a bas-relief at the upper level and 2 suns on the front) who lived on this street.
If you are not into architecture , but looking for some souvenirs or a place to have a drink or grab some food, on this street you may find some very good choices, don't forget to put this street on your itinerary when visiting Prague.

We were staying at the Golden Star, in Hradcany which is adjacent to Mala Strana, at the end of Nerudova street, so of course for us it was easy, it was right at our doorstep, we were right in the heart of the quarter.
This street is one of the more interesting in Prague since I believe it is one of the 2 preferred ways to reach by foot the Prague Castle. One is from Manesuv Bridge and the second from the end of Charles Bridge.
There are certainly other ones but after all I am only a tourist, so what do I know, do I ;-)
And therefore, since it is a place of choice for tourists, it is full of souvenir shops, restaurants, pubs, some excellent, some less, and even a chocolate factory at its end right in front of the Golden Star Hotel.
If you can't walk uphill you may have some difficulty to walk this street. It is not as steep as I have read in some reviews but then it depends on your physical condition ...
So if you feel it becomes hard the secret is simple: walk slower and simply reduce the length of your steps (like on a bike) and you'll be able to do it (this so called secret always work ... so try to remember it wherever it becomes hard for you ... Mountains, Hills ...).
This way to the Castle is beautiful, it is not far from the Wallenstein Gardens, you pass by Churches, old buildings, baroque style, and I believe it would be a pity to be deterred by the fear of its so called steepness...
Of course ... There always is the out of the box way of thinking... the other way around ... walk the street down from the Castle to the Charles Bridge ... so bye bye steepness ;-)
As I wrote the architecture is really different from the Old Town ... 17th,18th and 19th Century and of course not less beautiful at all, and really worth the walk... again ... take it easy...
You can take a look at some of the pictures I have attached to see for yourself if the place is worth your time .. I believe it is ..
Some of my friends, way savvier than me in matter of Pubs, beers, restaurants and good food are convinced that you eat better and drink better in Mala Strana than in the rest of Prague ... Nerudova Street is the place to check it.
There are there very famous names so without putting in competition the 2 sides of the Vlatva River let's say that if you don't visit, stay or eat at Mala Strana and Nerudova street ... You have tasted only half of Prague.
And if you have more time, wait till dusk and you won't regret it: the view on Prague at Night from the Castle hill or Petrin Hill is superb and even unforgettable

Steep cobblestone street leading to the Castle, lined with beautiful old architecture on both sides.
Over the last 25 years lots has changed here. Some stores and restaurants disappeared.There used to be a great art gallery.
New stores appeared. The souvenirs stores. The cheep stuff. Boring stores that are the same everywhere in the world, here the items say "from Prague":)
With the increased tourism I guess it was unavoidable.
But there are also some nice additions that are more recent. The tiny Cafe Designum is one of them.
The Gingerbread Museum is not new and you may want to take a quick look in. It is a small store, not a museum.
Several pubs and restaurants from the old times we visited years ago now cater more to tourists. U Tri Houslicek , U Bonaparte , U Sedmi Svabu.
The one restaurant on Nerudova with great views is Valoria. It has changed it's name several times but it is the best dining choice on Nerudova ...in my opinion.
Probably the only restaurant on this street we would consider returning to.
I love Nerudova street. But we try to avoid the new tourist stuff as best as we can.
I love the centuries old houses, each with different original decorative sign above the doors. I love the view down the winding street...
It remains, despite all the increased tourist traffic, one of the most beautiful cobblestone streets in Prague ...
We always come back ...

The beautiful house signs, centuries old, are what is most special about Nerudova to me.
Of course most tourists climb the steep cobblestone hill with one goal in mind - to reach the Castle.
It can be an exhausting trek, and that is why I suggest you go slow and search out these house signs, so beautiful and unique.
If you have kids with you, have them try to spot one or two, not a difficult task , because there are so many!
The street is named after Jan Neruda - a poet and a writer who lived in two houses on this street. At The Two Suns and at the The Three Black Eagles.
He was famous enough to earn a spot in the park - a large statue on the bottom of the Petrin Hill.
Don't miss The Three Fiddles at the bottom of Nerudova - the house has a nice history too, even if nothing to do with the poet.
There are several restaurants on this street, for different budgets. There are some nice stores and some newer addition of stores with cheap souvenirs. They seem out of place to me. It is a heavily visited tourist area, so research carefully where you eat and shop to avoid disappointment .
Nerudovka - as the Praguers call it - is one of my favorite streets in Prague.
I never miss it when in Prague.
You should not miss it either....
