Slate ulička, also know as Golden Lane, runs along a short stretch inside the wall of the Prague castle complex. Alchemists, castle guards, writers lived there once upon a time. Now it is a human zoo during the day, but wait until just before nightfall when when the shopkeepers go home, the street is empty, and the entrance is free. That is when the magic happens. You have these picturesque houses all to yourself, and the street becomes alive with the lore of centuries past and the fairy tales in your imagination.
