Movie Magic

Which ancient, cobbled streets have had the pleasure of Matt Damon's, Hugh Jackman's and Johnny Depp's nimble feet running across them?
Prague's. The Czech Republic's most glorious city is a haven for movie makers looking for spooky corners around historic buildings, romantic castles in the country and eerie alley-ways.
Mala Strana (the Lesser Quarter), is located close to Charles Bridge with its looming statues and infamous pick-pockets. Prague Castle, reportedly the largest ancient castle in the world, dominates the skyline as you walk across the famed bridge. Lined with buskers, painters and kissing couples, the bridge's atmospheric vibe attracts daily crowds crossing over between The Old Town Square and Mala Strana.
The back streets of Mala Strana are often empty of tourists and filled with quiet, narrow lanes. It is here, also, that you may stumble across a movie crew making use of the dramatic architecture.
'The Brothers Grimm', 'Oliver Twist', 'Van Helsing' and 'From Hell' are just a few movies allowing audiences a glimpse into Prague's captivating charms.
For action, adventure or romance, whether it's real or fiction, Prague always delivers its own, undeniable magic.
