Tips for visitors
The best time to visit is early morning or shortly before sunset, when the streets of Old Town are less full and light gently hits the facade of the house. The building is a protected monument that can only be admired from the outside, so we recommend paying attention to the details of architecture.
Check the current connection and traffic options in the Internet search engine.
You don't need any special equipment to visit, you just need comfortable shoes to walk on historic tiles. If you are planning a longer tour of the area, we recommend that you have plenty of water with you.
For the best photos we recommend looking for angles that capture the entire height of the house together with the surrounding installation. The best light for façade pictures is in the morning when the sun lights up the front of the building.
Families with children can use a visit to play in search of historical characters on the walls of the house. As it is a residential or economic building, it is important to educate children about silent behaviour in order not to disturb the population.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring, the surroundings of the house are awakened to green colour and fresh air gives new energy to the place. The sun gently illuminates the facade in the morning, which is ideal for observing details from the street. We recommend light but laminated clothing and a visit in the morning when the air is the cleanest.
In the summer months, the atmosphere dominates hot and bright, sharp light, which highlights the contrasts of the kit. In the high season there are the most people on the streets of Old Town, so it is best to go out very early in the morning. Don't forget the sun hat and comfortable shoes for walking on the Prague pavement.
Autumn brings golden leaf colour and melancholy mood with soft, warm light of setting sun. It is a good time for silent observation of architecture without the summer rush. It is suitable for waterproof coats and shoes that can handle the wet surface of the pavement.
Zimą works in contrast to freezing air and possible snow to dampen the noise of the city. In advent time the atmosphere in the city centre is dreamy, although the days are short and darkness comes soon. Warm winter clothes, gloves and firm soles are essential to avoid slipping on the frozen surface.
