Hradcany is one of the old neighborhoods of Prague , and still today it has the architectural features of the old time ... historical buildings, palaces, churches, Strahov Monastery, hotels, pubs, restaurant, shops, all of these and more can be found in Hradcany.
The neighborhood is basically the area surrounding the Prague castle - although until the late 1700 is has a small town that was independent of Prague - and it became part of the city in the last years of the 1700's.
Walking the streets of this neighborhood can be very interesting, especially for those of you who are into history and architecture - but not only - it can be equally interesting for everybody who has a bit of interest in the Czech culture.
Overall a great place to walk and definitely worth the time spent here when in Prague - go for a walk in Hradcany.
