Hidden Details in Prague: Tiny Discoveries from my ‘Where in Prague’ Series

Let's set the major landmarks aside for a minute and explore the hidden details in Prague. These are some of its most delightful elements, which are really easy to miss. In this Where in Prague series, I highlight some of the hidden details that bring the city’s streets to life.

These could be anything - maybe a tiny sculpture tucked into a corner, a mysterious face carved into stone, or a whimsical building feature that tells a forgotten story.

These aren’t full-blown tourist attractions.

Some may be more popular than others. And, some, might be just me sharing odd things that break my brain a bit - who knows!

There are no rules here.

So, if you're ready to slow down, look up, and wander with curiosity, welcome!!
