Cheap hotels in Mala Strana

EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in Prague

Neighborhood Description

This hilly, romantic patch of land sits in the shadows of Prague Castle and just across the river from Staré Město. Malá Strana—which means "little" or "lesser quarter" in Czech—is filled with winding, steep cobblestone streets, ornate churches, and splendid vistas. Slightly less crowded than its neighbor across the Charles Bridge, this area still keeps bustling with visitors from dawn until dusk.

The neighborhood's shady Kampa Park can provide relief from the crowds. Those with a penchant for late-night partying will want to head elsewhere, as things really quiet down after dark. However, those who want to rub shoulders with the neighborhood's many embassy workers should stay put. Not surprisingly, rooms in this coveted neighborhood tend to be pricey.
