My TIP

You can also visit one of the cafés and enjoy an undisturbed moment in a beautiful location.

There is a staircase behind the Café U Raka. At the top of the staircase to the left is a walkway that leads to a breathtaking view of the entire New World

Interesting fact

It was once home to the imperial guards and servants of Prague Castle. This historical tidbit adds a layer of depth to the area's quaint appearance, as these narrow lanes and small houses were once bustling with the lives of those who served at the heart of Czech royalty.

Today, as you wander through its serene streets, you're walking in the footsteps of history, amidst buildings that have stood witness to centuries of stories. Nový Svět's transformation from a humble servants' quarter to one of Prague's most enchanting and serene districts is a testament to the city's ever-evolving narrative, making it an essential experience for those looking to uncover the hidden stories of Prague.
