Located in the huge Prague Castle complex, Golden Lane is a charming little lane popular with tourists. This 16th-century street, which is actually very small, is lined with charming tiny houses. These beautifully colored houses were once home to a number of important people, including Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Seifert, a Czech writer and Nobel Prize winner.
Why Golden? The name probably comes from the 16th century, a period when alchemists were trying to produce gold here. For some time even called the Street of Alchemists, Golden Lane is now a popular tourist attraction. The houses are now used mainly as souvenir shops.
