Lonely Planet review for Nový Svět Quarter

In the 16th century, houses were built for castle staff in an enclave of curving cobblestone streets down the slope north of the Loreta. Today these diminutive cottages have been restored and painted in pastel shades, making the 'New World' quarter a perfect alternative to the castle's crowded Golden Lane. Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe lived at No 1 Kapucínská. Globally renowned animator and filmmaker Jan Švankmajer resides at No 5 Černínská.
