    Just wonderful! Loved the small houses and the items of older times but was more fascinated from the upper floor (weapons & armor collection) and the catacombs!

    If you're visiting the Prague castle complex, you must not miss this interesting and historic street. These small houses were made for castle guards, and writer Franz Kafka also lived here in 1916.

    Must see location in prague castle area. Houses from 16th century express both the simplicty but also aesthetic side of old time living

    Golden Lane is a must for anyone visiting the castle area - a medieval street, decorated with tiny shops and houses. However, it can get really crowded; be patient and explore at your own pace.

    for me the main attraction in the Hradschin area. Medieval lane with many tiny houses furnitured historical through the centuries but not possible to enjoy if there are too many tourists in there

    Enchanting place worth to visit while being in this area. More lively during opening hours of Prague castle, but beautiful also after that.

    Well, actually you can only enter the Golden Lane part where Kafka used to live if you pay an entrance fee. Yes, that's right, it is fenced. This being Kafka, that's what I call irony.

    Take the long tour, worth the cost. Don't miss any stairs or holes, be sure that you've examined every part.

    Just after writing Metamorphosis, Franz Kaftka moved in to #22. He moved out when the first symptoms of tuberculosis appeared on him.
