The history behind the street and the people who lived there is interesting but overall it was disappointing. It's a cute little street, but it does not live up to the hype. The 'displays' inside the houses are dirty and not well kept. For the admission price, I was expecting more.
This part of Prague Castle is really interesting to see. It's a long narrow passageway with displays or amour and weapons. Some fascinating and scary looking helmets here. Also new items made by craftsmen. I hope their art continues.
Lovely little lane with all sorts of displays, exhibitions, curiosities and craft shops. Well worth the visit
In Praha Hrad ( castle). Old defense wall with medieval armory. Small houses with handcraftshops. Plus the old Palace, the Roman Church, the cathedral etc etc. Realy nice.
Charming lane with colourful little houses that seems to come straight out of a Harry Potter book. Most of the houses nowadays are shops, but some are preserved as they were when they were last occupied. It is striking that someone lived there in the second half of the 20th century.
Its one of the tour places in Prague castle,street of houses,that depict lifes of herbalist,castle guards,etc,huge collection of armor and weapons,torture chamber,some gift shops.only took pictures and visited places that i had interest in them.
Zlatá Ulička - aka. The Golden Lane, is a must see place during the tour of the Hradčany - Prague Castle & Presidential Palaces. From the house of Franz Kafka, other medieval houses of merchants, cooks, powder Tower, Knights' armoury, to medieval prison and torture chambers at Daliborka Tower on the other end, this is a great place to see how servants and knights lived near the Prague castle wall during the times of dark middle ages.
We went there at 10pm to enjoy it at nighttime. Apart from another couple, we were the only ones there. Despite the lane being very short, it's still very beautiful.
Beautiful place. I like small museums created inside small houses of the lane. For me, This lane was best part of whole castle tour. But yes, it is full of tourist so try to visit as early as possible to take food pictures with multi color lane.
Very interesting example of apartments and living arrangements of the time. The armory upstairs running the length of the row houses was very interesting. The collection was exhaustive.
