The Golden Lane
During the reign of Rudolf II, goldsmiths lived in a lively alleyway filled with tiny workshops, which were also their residence, hence its name. Tiny, cobblestoned walkway filled with brightly-painted little houses, where modern man has a hard time standing with the low ceiling. (It's tough to realize just how tiny our pre-20th-century ancestors were until you go somewhere like this). Franz Kafka occupied No. 22 from 1916 to 1917, and this is why most people visit the Golden Lane. There is also a Renaissance tavern, a castle guard's house including his colorful uniform, and a goldsmith's shop shown as they might have looked during the periods represented, and those are interesting. Otherwise, there really isn't another good reason unless you want to buy some overpriced souvenirs in the small shops now occupying the houses.
