Prague's Quirkiest Street: Must-See Golden Lane in the Castle

Nestled within Prague Castle, Czech Republic, lies Golden Lane⭐ (Czech: Zlatá ulička). Originally built in the 16th century to house Rudolf II's castle guards, the street acquired its name from the 17th-century goldsmiths who called it home. Initially known as "Goldsmith Lane," it eventually transformed into the captivating "Golden Lane" we know today.
