Prague - Golden Lane

(Local Name: Zlat Ulicka) Originally a laneway of goldsmiths for the Prague Castle, the Golden Lane (Zlat Ulicka) is now a golden opportunity for overpriced tourist gift shops to fleece unsuspecting visitors. However, that said, located within some of the eleven old buildings, are interesting displays of armory and textiles, some of which are worth seeing.

The Golden Lane was created when a new wall was added outside the existing wall of the Prague Castle complex. Dating back to the 15th Century, the Golden Lane, although somewhat touristic, is worth a quick visit and the entrance is included in the castle complex admission ticket.
