Fodor's Expert Review Nový Svět

This picturesque street may only be a short walk from Hradčanské náměstí, but it feels like a whole world away. Nový Svět was developed in the 1300s as a residential district for the castle's workers, and later became home to famous names including 16th-century court astronomer Tycho Brahe. Today, visitors can take a stroll along the (relatively) quiet cobbled street and admire its colorful 17th-century cottages; look out for house signs depicting everything from a golden pear to a human foot. There are a handful of restaurants and cafés along the way, as well as a small children's play park, if you want to extend your visit.
