Best Historical landmark in Czech

P	P J on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Golden Lane as a historical landmark definitely deserves 5 stars, but what is bothering me for some time is that during "opening hours" which is from 9am to 4pm you will pay unbelievable money to enter (around 250 per adult) sure you can go inside houses, but they are mostly overpriced shops. Go there before or after the payed hours you can explore the houses how much you want, it's especially cool to go there during evening when Prague Castle is empty (I've taken the photos at 8 pm).
M	Mariana Aguirre on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you like to see armors and weapons from different times throughout history and from different empires, this is your place!
R	Richard Eweg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was quite busy and the pavement is not really stroller friendly but it's amazing when you realize that people actually lived in these small houses. definitely go there if you like to see the medieval armor they have on display
N	Niklas Ullrich on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was rather disappointed. The tiny houses are cute but the lane itself is packed so you can't really observe it as a whole or take a good look at the interior. The exhibitions didn't come with a lot of explanation/information and seemed a little random. Most interesting was the house Kafka lived in (now a generic shop), the tavern and the house of a psychic.
G	Gareth Wanklin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Some fine examples of historic weaponry and armour can be found here before descending Into the tower to witness how numerous prisoners met their demise.
O	Ouvi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ just small houses with exhibits, not much to explore but a lot to look at. lovely colors and atmosphere, very strict about touching, a lot of glass protection
S	Szabolcs Gärtner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty little lane with cute small houses that accommodate both exhibitions and shops. Somewhat worth it for the gift shop and armoury, especially if you know the location from Vampire: The Masquerade. Possibly not recommended for elderly or disabled people as it is very narrow and filled with stairs. Please also note that tickets can't be bought separately just for the lane.
a	arisumirai on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The area as a whole is worth visiting, thus, I would encourage everyone to buy the circuit ticket, which grants access to different buildings. There are lots of turists all the time, but even then, it is not as other places which end up being too crowded to even enjoy them. In this case, the area is spacious enough for everyone to enjoy and walk around, same about the buildings. The tickets are 250 CZK, around 10€, but there is a discount for people older than 65, highschool students, and University students. In terms of accessibility, sadly, I did not see many adaptations. There is a ramp to get into the cathedral, but other than that, most buildings have old stairs that might make it difficult for some people to get there. The staff is friendly and kind, always eager to help.
